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 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!

LM 562 - Get Your Game On - Sequence

This month at Lasting Memories, we are getting our game on.  This week's game is Sequence and we have 3 options for our layouts: grid background, line of photos or sequence of events.

I decided to line up my photos.  I used photos of my two dogs and two cats.  Unfortunately, both of my dogs passed away in the past year - Rocky in June 2020 and Daphne in January 2021.  This is a tribute layout to the relationship between my four fur babies.
