The Good Stuff - Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge

Hello and Welcome :) to today's challenge over at Lasting Memories Layout Challenges. We have a fun theme for October and today's challenge is one that anyone could join in on:

 

Our theme for October is - October Events - and this week our challenge is:

LM # 417 - Breast Cancer Awareness.  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Show us a way that you help out this worthwhile cause or just use lots of pink on your layout.

Here is the layout I created with this challenge in mind because of the pink used:

This was completed during the LOAD Mini: Out of this World over the summer where we do 1 week of LOAD. I used paper from my Perfect Collection Class for this very quick layout. The prompt was: LOAD Mini: Out of this World: Day 1: SPACE: Scrap about a physical space you love or something that requires a lot of your mental space. How do you make space for yourself? or you could created a layout with white space.

I would have to say I love to be out in the yard this time of the year to enjoy seeing God's creation through the flowers we have about the yard. Summer 2018. Between the beginning of Spring and throughout the summer I love to see the flowers we have growing around the yard. 

My title work coming from my counterfeit kit in August 2018: Summer Life. The title definitely came from the kit and so did the embellishments.

 The journaling block is a bit hard to read and I darken up the image so it's a bit easier to read.

Love to be out in the yard this time of the year, especially when the flowers are in full bloom. Summer 2018

Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing what you create for this fun challenge over at Lasting Memories Layout Challenges.

Rainy Day Layout

Hello today's challenge over at Use Your Stuff is Inspired by a Song - Create a project that is inspired by a song title, line, or is the theme of the project (ie concert, etc)
I created my title with a little help from Coldplay and their song Rainy Day. 

While cleaning up my craftroom I came across the rest of my papers from The Perfect Collection class of Shimelle's I did last year :) Score so some easy layouts coming up during the week when I have less time to create.

 The title and the girl are both from cricut die cuts I had on hand

 The washi tape and the gold pearls were the only other addition to the layout besides

 My journaling card I added too. Thanks for stopping by today, just maybe I'll get the rest of this collection finished up and out of my stash. Looking forward to seeing your creation to this fun challenge over at Use Your Stuff is Inspired by a Song - Create a project that is inspired by a song title, line, or is the theme of the project (ie concert, etc)

Remember Delicate Treasures layout for a Use Your Stuff challenge

Good Morning and welcome to this week's challenge over at Use Your Stuff challenge blog.

The theme of our challenge is .....
BUTTERFLIES

So get out your stamps, your dies or your embellishment and join in our fun!
I used butterfly wood veneers on this double page layout:

 Using the papers I had created during Shimelle's Perfect Collection Class (just a few more pages left to this class and out of my stash too) I was easily able to put these photos and story together for LOAD518 Day 23 prompt: Tell a story about something that is too cute for words

 Left side of the layout: I added the word block and the embellishment cluster to the 2 photos of Emily on this side of the layout. 3 generation photo of my husband Dave with our granddaughter Jessica and our Great Granddaughter Emily and on the other side of the double page layout is Emily's Sister our other Great Granddaughter Ava who is all full of personality :) Emily was not feeling good that trip and very clingy to Mom

Right side layout: so Ava got all of the attention and she's so comically at that age too :) Dave said he's got a new favorite among the Great Grandchildren, yep Ava stole her Great Pappy's heart that day :) Isn't that last picture just too cute for words :)

 Close up of the photos

 another butterfly cluster with a word block

 The last photo has the last butterfly cluster with my journaling too. So glad we had this chance to see the girls as they live in South Dakota and we live n the east coast so a bit hard to see them, so glad to have facebook so then we can see them growing up. Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing your creations from this fun challenge over at Use Your Stuff Challenge blog.

5 Different Pattern Papers for LM Challenge

Good morning and welcome :) today I have a layout for the challenge that our DT sister Sandy challenged us to do this week over at Lasting memories.

LM #337 - Use 5 Different Pattern Papers

with and optional challenge to create a birthday layout.

When I think of using 5 different papers I think of layering and this layout certainly has layers:

 This layout was created during LOAD217 this was DAY 18: The 9 Muses
How do you bring culture into your life?
    We like to take day road trips and most are usually to go see some kind of history, something we both take pleasure seeing. This layout is created for a day trip album to Ithaca, NY to see the Museum of the Earth, fascinating museum and all the dinosaur skeletons (layouts to do yet) We take trips to Antique Tractor Shows for history in live view and to museums to see what once was.
I used a layout from the Perfect Collection Class for my base for the layout :) This class is a class that I took from Shimelle and I had learned about the class from Tina Gale from My Scrappy Ideas. I'll post about the collection next week. Thinking to use the rest of the paper for the photos for this trip to have it all tie together :) This is one of my goals this year is to work on purchased classes.            

 I did use a paper from my counterfeit kit in February : A Few of My Favorite Things. this paper I used for my journaling

 Used some fun washi tape as the exhibit was still under construction. The Right Whale is fascination to see at the museum and such a cool story on there site as to how they came about getting the skeleton.

 Also found some fun chipboard stickers in my stash that worked out perfect for this layout. Who say's that it had to be used for a beach layout :)

I used a few fun stickers that was in my kit that month too. I'm looking forward to working with this collection a bit more for the day trip and get that finished up here real soon. I also found out that the Perfect Collection class is a fast fun way to have your base papers ready for your layouts and makes creating a layout ridiculously fast :) I look forward to seeing your creation over at Lasting Memories. Have a Great Day!
