LM 635 - New Year Challenges - Traditions

This month at Lasting Memories we have new year challenges.  This week, our challenge is to create a layout about family traditions.

I created a layout about my tradition with my mom to go day after Christmas shopping.  We've been doing this since I was a kid but in 2021 we were able to bring my daughter along for the first time.  I created a layout with the photos we took that day. Audrey and I even wore matching outfits.  

Supplies:

Patterned paper, embellishments by Crate Paper Busy Sidewalks Collection

LM 632 - New Year Challenges - Year in Review

This month at Lasting Memories, out theme is "new year challenges."  This week we are creating year in review layouts that feature a few things that happen in a year.

I created a layout using a photo from each month of Audrey's 1st year.  This will be my title page for Audrey's 1st year album and I am thrilled with how it turned out.

January Challenge YOUrself

 This month at Challenge YOUrself, we have a "year in review" challenge.

January Stick it Down

 Here's the January sketch at Stick it Down:

I created a layout with photos from Christmas Eve 2021.  We hosted my husband's family at our house, since we had a brand new baby.  This sketch worked well with this paper, since it allowed me to use all those adorable reindeer images along the bottom.

LM 631 - New Year Challenges - Firsts

This month at Lasting Memories, we are focusing on the year that has passed and the new year ahead.  This week, we are creating layouts about firsts (first birthday, first anniversary, etc).

I wanted to go a little outside the box and created a layout about Audrey's first doctor's visit.  She was just 3 days old.
