LM 397 - Variety of Shapes - Circles

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is "variety of shapes."  This week, our challenge is to use circles on your layout.

I have been meaning to scrap these photos.  I work from home and my work bestie lives in Minnesota.  She came to visit me in Philly last March.  We walked around downtown and we took these photos with the game pieces in a park. 

Supplies:
Simple Stories Urban Traveler (patterned paper)
Stampin' Up Cardstock (I think it's Pacific Point)
Bella Blvd Family Frenzy (Domino Paper)
Carta Bella Well Played (stickers)

Hello Paradise - CSI Challenge

I recently discovered CSI Challenge and this is the first time I am entering.  I love their inspiration photos.  They give a list of ideas of things in the photo too, so it was helpful.  From their list of ideas, I used similar colors, florals, leaves, solid background, stripes, dots, circles.  

Here's their case file:

I was in the Bahamas about two weeks ago and I could not wait to start scrapping the photos.  We stayed at Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island.  It was absolutely incredible and I have some beautiful photos to scrap in the next couple months!  

The colors of the CSI Challenge were perfect for this layout and I am really happy with how it turned out.

Supplies:

Kit by Embellish It

Simple Stories You are Here Collection (paper and stickers)

White American Crafts Cardstock

LM 396 - Variety of Shapes - Hexagons

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is a variety of shapes.  This week, our challenge is to use hexagons on your layout. 

I love hexagons and I use them on my layouts often.  I was looking through my stash and I came across a 12x12 hexagon overlay by Studio Calico.  I also found hexagon chipboard pieces by Pink Paislee.  I knew I had to use them to scrap a photo of my trip to the Bahamas last weekend!

Supplies:

Studio Calico 12x12 Kraft Hexagon Overlay

Pink Paislee Nantucket Collection (Hexagon Chipboard)

LM 395 - Variety of Shapes - Triangles

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is "variety of shapes."  This week, our challenge is to use triangles on your layout. 

I wanted to scrap these adorable photos of my nephew.  He was less than a week old when these were taken at the beginning of April. 

I punched a bunch of 2" squares and then cut them in half.  I played around for a while before deciding to make a triangle out of the triangles.

Supplies 

Echo Park Sweet Baby Boy (Paper, stickers, chipboard)

Doodlebug Designs Letter Stickers

EK Success 2" Square Punch (I cut them in half to make the triangles)

May Stick it Down

Here's this month's sketch at Stick it Down:

I thought this sketch was a great way to use a whole piece of paper on a layout without covering too much up.  Carta Bella makes these beautiful full page scenes. However, I find them hard to use, since I don't want to cover too much.

I bought this beautiful city park paper recently, specifically to scrapbook photos from Boston Common.  There's a carousel, playground, ponds and trees on the paper, so it was perfect for my photos.

My photos are a little dark, but there's photos of some of the monuments, plus the playground/frog statues and the carousel.  I loved walking around this park.

Supplies:

Crate Paper Carousel Collection (hearts & kites chipboard, banner sticker, patterned paper)

Thickers Letters

Carta Bella Practically Perfect (City Park Paper)

MME Jack & Jill (Carousel horse sticker)
Creative Memories Frog Sticker
Cosmo Cricket Tea for Two (label)

LM 394 - Variety of Shapes - Hearts

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is "variety of shapes."  This week, our challenge is to use hearts on your layout.  

When I think of hearts, I always think of Valentine's Day.  My girlfriends and I have a tradition of going out for a girls night on Valentine's Day weekend. We call it "GALENTINE'S."  This year, we went out to an Italian restaurant and drank LOTS of wine.
