LM 567 - Patterned Paper Play - 5 Patterned Papers

 This month at Lasting Memories, we are focusing on patterned paper.  This week, we are creating layouts using at least 5 patterned papers on our layouts.  

I think I used 15 papers on this one.  I made a bunch of the banners using various papers, backed some of the tag die cuts and even fussy cut the candy cane out of patterned paper.  

I wanted to create a layout with one of the last photos of my sweet Daphne.  I bought this hat for her last Christmas and I thought she looked adorable (she hated it, lol).  Unfortunately, she passed away in January of 2021.  













Supplies:

Patterned papers by October Afternoon

Die cut banners by Crate Paper Merry Days Collection

Dog stickers by The Paper Studio

Photo frame by Simple Stories

Word stickers by Thickers

LM 566 - Patterned Paper Play - Stripes

This month at Lasting Memories, we are focusing on patterned paper.  This week, we are creating layouts using stripes.

I created a layout using a photo of my nephew.  He went through a phase where he was obsessed with Thomas the Train.  

This page is pretty clean and simple.  I happened to find Thomas paper and die cuts at a scrapbook convention a couple years ago.

LM 565 - Patterned Paper Play - Florals

 This month at Lasting Memories, we are focusing on patterned paper.  This week, we are creating layouts using florals.

I created a layout using photos from the wedding of good friends in December.  My husband was a groomsman and I love this picture of all the boys.  I also love the photos with two of my close girlfriends.









This layout is the companion pages to the "beautiful friends" layout I created a few months ago. Here's both pages together:


I had so many photos that I also used some of the CTHM pocket pages.

LM 564 - Patterned Paper Play - Plaid, Checks or Gingham

 This month at Lasting Memories, we are focusing on patterned paper.  This week, we are creating layouts using plaid, checks or gingham.

I created a layout with a photo of my kitty Oliver.  He was about 2 months old on his first Christmas.  We have a collection of Nutcrackers that we display every year.  When Ollie was out he would often hide among the nutcrackers.  I would look all over before finding him sitting like this.  It was so cute!
