Satisfying Circles- LM#821


Maureen at Lasting Memories has challenged us to use shapes this month.
This week, we must use at least three circles.

I'm using the Creative Memories October virtual crop sketch#2 for my inspiration.

I used Simple Stories "Love and Adore" to document my Mother's Day scones.
My husband made sourdough blueberry lemon scones and tea, which we eat in the garden.

If you look closely at the script on the paper, it alternates between Love and Be Mine.  Even though this paper seems to be made for Valentine's Day, I think it is perfect for my layout.  I didn't follow the sketch exactly.


 I substituted a dolly for one of the circles and used a much smaller third circle than in the sketch.  I also used straight strips instead of a chain of circles.  I tried a floral punched border, but it got lost in the script background.

Rad Rectangles-LM#820

 

Maureen at Lasting Memories has challenged us to use shapes this month.
For this week, we are to use three or more rectangles.

I used the sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap#333.  It works perfectly with the Lasting Memories challenge to use rectangles.  I used 3 large rectangles and could have had two more if I didn't cut the vertical ones at the bottom.


I also replaced one of the photos with a journal area as I only have the one basket shot

Lasting Memories #819 Triangles

 



 Maureen at Lasting Memories has challenged us to use shapes this month.
For this week, we are to use three or more triangles.


This layout is similar to LM#818 except that I flipped some of the photo locations and the title journal box.  I used the same sketch from a CM idea book for both variations.  I love how versatile a sketch can be.  As for the challenge, I went small and subtle with three triangle pennants.   
 

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you share your triangles with us at Lasting Memories
