Lasting Memories Sketch Challenge!

Hello, The challenge this week at Lasting Memories is a sketch and to use autumn colours. Here is the sketch-

 The paper is from K&Co. I got the flowers when we were on holiday in France a couple of weeks ago, the stickers are from Papermania. 

I made a bit of an oops! this week with this project. I had emailed the sketch to myself, and I got on with a page. Then just as I was finishing I remembered that it had to be autumn colours!! So I had to start again! But this is the layout I did, at least I am getting through all the photos that need to be scrapped!!

Thanks for stopping by!! I am looking forward to seeing what you do with this sketch this week!

Lasting Memories Challenge- Black and White!

Hello, the challenge this week at Lasting Memories is to use Black and White- and nothing else, even the photos need to be black and white! I thought I would find this a really hard challenge, but once I got started I really enjoyed it. I am pleased with the finished page. The picture is of my family before my daughter was born. 

 The paper, the vellum, the buttons and the pearls are from Papermania. I used a Sunbeam Stamp for the family stamp in the bottom corner.

Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to seeing what you do with this challenge!

Lasting Memories Challenge- Simply YOU!

Hello, I have been on holiday the  past week with my family in France, we had a wonderful time! But I have really missed my blog and crafting! I am really glad that this week everything goes back to normal!

This week at Lasting Memories the new design team are named!! I'm really excited to be working with everyone!! This week the challenge is 'Simply YOU'. I have done a layout of the last time my husband and I went to Disneyland Paris. We went to in February for Valentine's day. It was soooo COLD! We went this week and it was really hot! 

I used loads of different bits and bobs for this page, I am not sure where any of it came from! The paper were in a bunch of paper I got from eBay a while ago, and don't know what they are. The chipboard letters were from the poundshop! The ribbon was from Hobbycraft.

This week at Lasting Memories there is extra reason to join in, as there is a fantastic giveaway! MyMemories is giving away a copy of their latest digital scrapbooking software! How exciting!! I'm excited to see what you do for this challenge!

Lasting Memories Challenge!

Hello, This week's challenge at Lasting Memories is to scrap what inspires us. I found this a tricky challenge. I have picked a photo of my daughter. My children are so special to me and most of my pages are of my children. These photos were taken of my daughter's feet when she was a month old. I think they are so cute!! My children are my biggest inspiration. I am also inspired by beautiful photos, like this one. I tried to use scrapbooking supplies that inspire me too-I used some lovely American Crafts patterned paper, and some ribbons. I also used the sketch-

Lasting Memories Challenge-Try Something New!

Good Morning! I am really excited about this week's challenge at Lasting Memories! It is to try something new! I think we all have things that we want to try out but never get around to, or things we have bought that we haven't used! Well that is what I have done for my layout. I have always loved die cut papers and ages ago I bought a pack of Silhouettes by K&Co. and have never used them. I have pulled them out a few times, then felt a bit unsure so put them back again!! I have also tried something else today, I really like it when people use quotes on their pages, but I have never tried it. So in the spirit of trying new things I have added a quote on my page! 

So, what new thing are you going to try? Don't forget that this month Lasting Memories have a design team call, if you want to get involved head over to Lasting Memories to see how to apply!

Lasting Memories Challenge!

Hello, well, it's Sunday again, which means another Lasting Memories Challenge. I love being on the Lasting Memories Design Team, not only do I get to work with some talentled Scrappers, but I also am getting loads of pages done!! I am pleased to say that I am staying on for another term, and there are some spaces on the team, so make sure you head over to Lasting Memories to see how to apply!

This week's challenge is a sketch and also to use buttons. Buttons are my all time favourite!! I have loads of them, and they are on almost every page I do!! 

Here is the sketch-

All the paper I used was from We R Memory Keepers. I loved the colours in this paper. The letters are from American Crafts, the ribbons were odd bits I hadm and buttons are from different places-some are Papermania, some are from American Crafts, some I am not sure!

Lasting Memories Challenge!

Hello! How are you? It is another Lasting Memories Challenge! This week the challenge is all about the title!! I usually think about the title at the end of a layout, and I am bit rubbish of thinking them up! They are usually quite simple. But today I found the pictures and then thought of the title and took it from there. These pictures are of my little girl, she is such a clown!! She loves making people laugh and is always pulling funny faces.

 I am a bit of a lazy crafter, I tend to use whatever is out on my table. I had used this paper earlier in the week for a card and it was still out so I used it again for this layout. It is good in one way because I use up my paper (which means I can buy more without feeling guilty!!) but it also means that sometimes my posts tend to have the same paper-sorry!! But I have used We R Memory Keepers paper. I cut the title out from the Hannah Montana cartridge at 3 1/2", I cut the blue out in capitals and the pink in lower case letters. I used a My Pink Stamper stamp, the embellishments are Making Memories. The ribbon is from Hobbycraft. I used a X-cut border punch.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you can play along!!
