LM 367 - Around the House - Stamp with something other than a stamp

This month at Lasting Memories Layout Challenge, our theme is Around the House.  This week's challenge is to stamp with something other than a stamp.

A couple months ago, I saw a layout where someone used a toy car to stamp on a layout. Unfortunately, I can't remember who did it, so I can't give proper credit.

I had the cutest pictures of my nephew at the beach several years ago (he's 14 now).  At the scrapbook convention, I found the CUTEST truck papers by AdornIt, and I had to buy them to go with the photos.  My nephew called ALL of his trucks "Digger Dan" so that HAD to be the title for this page!

I borrowed a truck from my friend's son and used it to stamp on the layout.  I absolutely LOVE how this layout turned out!


Supplies:
Paper & embellishments by Adorn It

I apologize in advance for the long post.  My husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary this month.  We spent all of last week in Ireland.  I wanted to share some of my favorite photos from our trip.  I took over 1200 photos and I don't know how I will decide which ones to scrap!

LM 365 - Around the House - Children's Art or Book

This month at Lasting Memories Layout Challenge, our theme is "Around the House."  This week, our challenge is to use children's artwork/journaling on your page or be inspired by a children's book.
I don't have children, so I don't have any children's artwork to scrap.  However, my friend's baby shower in July had a book theme and her baby's room is Eric Carle themed.  I loved the shower invitation, so I included it on my page.

When I was at the scrapbook convention in July, I found these adorable plastic caterpillars from Eric Carle.  I think someone made them with shrinky dink - they just came in a plastic sleeve, without a brand name.  You may remember the card I made for this showed.  I used another one of these caterpillars on the card:
