Lasting Memories Tic- Tac Toe Board #798

 This month's challenge at Lasting Memories is Tic-Tac-Toe Boards


I recently finished a scrap-your-stash challenge with Noreen Smith, which got me to pull out this Creative Memories Boat Life paper.  It's a collection I won at a scrap event and thought I'd never use.   The B sides of the designer paper were a perfect fit as the colors worked well with my layout.  

For the tic-tac-toe, I did the diagonal (3-word title, die-cut, and 3+photos)
I layered three die cuts to create the cluster

Thanks for stopping by to take a look

lasting Memories this or that #796

  The last of April, This or That from Lasting Memories is 
THIS: Use never-before-used pieces of paper or THAT: Use all scraps except the base paper.

 This layout is made of new materials, as it was the table gift at the retreat I attended last weekend.
As an added challenge, we were given a sketch by Meggan Jacks for the December 2025 Power Hour.





Thanks for stopping by and I'll try to be more timely in the future


lasting Memories this or that #795

 I created this layout as I'm working my way through the Creative Memories virtual crops for 2026. Not sure I'll do all of them, but the February Layout #1 was perfect for my photos and the Heart theme for Lasting Memories  THIS: Use stars on your layout OR THAT: Use hearts on your layout.


I went with hearts.  I also used larger photos and pushed the hearts down



Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.  I've got one more This or That to go, so stay tuned
