LM 577 - Flashback Challenge - Multi Photo

This month at Lasting Memories, we are revisiting some of our favorite challenges from this year.  This week, our challenge is to use 3 or more photos.

I created a layout using some photos of my sweet Daphne (and the cats).  I took these photos in mid-January 2020.  Sadly, Daphne passed away at the end of January.  

Supplies:

Patterned Paper by Simple Stories

Letters by Thickers

Chipboard by Simple Stories

Calvinball Day 30 - Valentine's Cats

For my final Calvinball layout, I used some cat photos from Valentine's Day.

LM 434 - Color Challenge - Black & White + Pink

This week at Lasting Memories, our challenge is to use black & white with pink. 

I took some photos of my dogs recently with Valentine's Day props, though they're hard to see in the photos.  I just got a bunch of V-day supplies from Michaels and Tuesday Morning, so I was glad to have photos to scrap with it.

Supplies:

Sequin heart, dog washi tape, heart enamel dots, pink doily, dog stickers by Recollections

Valentine's Day Heart Chipboard and XOXO enamel letters by Crate Paper

White "love" chipboard by Bella Blvd

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.

Paper by MME Love Me & Making Memories Je T'Adore

Recollections Wine Shaker Stickers (Aren't they adorable?!?)

Doodlebug Letter Stickers

Heart Puffy Stickers from Target Dollar Bin

We have a sponsor this week, Glitterbabe's Art Shop.   Some of the DT members are offering candy.   In order to win the candy, you need to make a layout with pink, red, & white, enter it at Lasting Memories and leave a comment here.

I chose to make a layout of my nephew and I decorating Valentine's cupcakes last year.  He slept over Valentines weekend, and on Valentines morning, we baked cupcakes so that he could take them home to his parents.
