LM 359 - All about Patterns - Polka Dots

At Lasting Memories, our theme this month is "All About Patterns."  Our challenge this week is to use polka dots.

I created a layout for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland.  My BFF and I went in January of 2016 and I am trying to finish up my scrapbook from the trip.

LM 358 - All about animals - In the Sea

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is "All About Animals."  This week, our challenge is to use animals that live in the sea.

I went to Disney in January of 2016.  This layout is for the Finding Nemo Submarine Adventure Ride.  It was SO cool!  I found the perfect paper at Jo-Ann's.  They had all their Disney paper on clearance and I was able to find this AWESOME Finding Nemo background paper that looked like the ocean floor.

LM 357 - All About Animals - At the Zoo

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is "All About Animals."  This week, our challenge is to use a zoo animal - it can be in your photo, on your paper or embellishments, etc.

When I came up with this month's challenge, I knew exactly which photos I wanted to use.  In December, we went on a trip to St. Augustine, Florida.  We visited The Fountain of Youth.  There were peacocks EVERYWHERE!  And you could feed them peanuts!  I absolutely LOVE peacocks and this was the absolute highlight of my trip.  The photos worked really well with this gorgeous paper!

August Stick it Down Challenge

Here's the sketch for this month's challenge at Stick it Down.


In December, my husband and I went to St. Augustine for vacation with his family.  We visited the oldest wooden schoolhouse.  I used an old Webster's Pages collection and its vintage school images were PREFECT!

LM 356 - All About Animals - In the House

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is "All About Animals."  This week, our challenge is to use an animal that could be in your house (dog, cat etc) - it can be in your photo, on your paper or embellishments, etc.

I was down the shore last week.  Each night, I would walk my dogs with my 14 year old nephew. The sun was setting one night and we talked down to the bay.  Rocky, my boxer, jumped up onto the wall.  I sat next to him and asked my nephew to take our photo.  I LOVED IT!  SO I asked him to have me my other dog so that she could be in the photo too.  These are two of my favorite photos of me and my dogs.  Look at that lighting!!!
