LM 628 - Favorites - Wedding Inspired

This month at Lasting Memories, we are revisiting our most popular challenges from this year.  This week, we are using our May "wedding challenge" and using something old, new, borrowed and blue on our layouts.

I created a layout using Audrey's first Santa photo.  I've been hoarding this beautiful Santa image from October Afternoon (my favorite company that I miss SOOOO much!).  I knew I had to use it for this layout.

Something old - October Afternoon supplies

Something new - new baby

Something borrowed - sketch

Something blue - holly paper

Here's the page map sketch I used:

I created a layout about my car.  She's red, so I named her Ginger.

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

LM 487 - Techniques - Mix and Match Patterned Papers

This month at Lasting Memories, we are focusing on techniques.  This week, our challenge is to mix and match patterned papers on your layout. 

I decided to scrapbook a photo from our annual pumpkin carving contest with our friends.  We each carve a pumpkin and we post pictures to facebook to get our friends to vote for the best pumpkin. 

I used 12 different patterned papers for this layout!

LM 476 - December Holidays - National Poinsettia Day

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is December Holidays.  This week, we are focusing on National Poinsettia Day, so our challenge is to use a poinsettia on your layout.

I had the perfect photo for this challenge.  Next to my sink, I have a dish drying mat with poinsettias on it.  My cat, Oliver, likes to sit or lay on it.  I took this photo last Christmas when he was about 10 weeks old.  I knew I had to use the title "Ollie Jolly Christmas" on the layout to play off his name.

Supplies:

Papers by October Afternoon

Puffy letters and embellishments by Crate Paper

Poinsettias by The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)
