LM 525 - Photo/color Inspiration 4

 Here's this week's inspiration challenge for this week:

I created a layout with a photo of my friend and I in February.  We met up right before Covid hit and we did some shopping.

Supplies:

All papers and embellishments by Echo Park Fashionista Collection

LM 498 - 3 Things - Plaid, tag, hearts

This week at Lasting Memories, our challenge is to use these 3 things on your layout: plain or gingham paper, hearts and a tag.

I created this layout using photos from my husband's 35th birthday.  He doesn't like to make a big fuss for birthdays, but I surprised him with giant balloons.  I also went to the bakery that we used to love near our old house (45 mins away).  I got him our favorite cake - YUM!

Supplies:

Plaid paper by Graphic 45

Patterned paper by Echo Park

Stickers by Echo Park

We R Memory Keepers Tag Punch Board

Heart Puffy Stickers by Elle's Studio

Circle ephemera by October Afternoon

LM 493 - TULIP

This month at Lasting Memories, we are using supplies that start with the letters in spring words.  This week, our word is TULIP.

I created a layout with photos from my sister in law's baby shower.  There was a jungle theme, so this collection worked perfectly.

Here's what I used on my layout:

T - Tiger 

U - Unisex baby shower

L - Leopard

I - Indigo 

P - Palm

I created a layout with photos from a gingerbread decorating party I hosted.  It was a MAJOR fail, hence the page title "Gingerbread Fail."  Of the 6 houses, all of them collapsed except for 2.  We had a lot of laughs and it was a lot of fun.

LM 483 - Once loved, now forgotten - Punches

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is "once loved, now forgotten."  We are using tools that have been collecting dust in our stash.  This week, we are using punches on our layouts.

I recently got a cat punch and I was dying to use it.  I decided to combine it with several different sized circle punches.

This is my kitten, Rosie.  She was the second kitten I found outside of my home and brought in.  Both Oliver and Rosie have the same mother, who used to hang around my house before she was hit by a car.  I found Rosie last June, so she is almost a year old.  She was very skittery at first and it took a while for her to warm up to people and dogs.  Now she is just as sweet as can be.  She sleeps with my every night.

Supplies:

Paper and stickers by Echo Park Meow Collection

Cat Punch and various circle punches by Stampin Up

Wood pieces were gifted to me, so I don't know where they're from
