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. 

Thanks for stopping by, and make sure to join us at Lasting Memories

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

Off on an adventure

I'm heading out on an adventure this weekend. 

 My husband and I will be staying in Klamath Falls, Oregon

Can't wait to share those adventures with you in a future layout; till then, here's a sneak peek of this Sunday's Lasting Memories challenge.

 

Gimme a high Five -Lasting Memories #818

 

This month, Wendy is our hostess and will be challenging us to have fun with number play.
 For the current challenge, use the following:

5- photos

5 - stars

5- word title

5 - embellishments

I used a little more than five stars with the border, 

although I do have 5 single stars scattered in the embellishment clusters.

I fussy-cut around the cast-offs of leftover stars.

The title was cut from the graduation program; I do have one in my son's school album too.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek, and make sure to share your creation at Lasting Memories.

Creative memories virtual crop

I got one layout done with the Creative Memories Virtual Crop

September 2026 #2

The layout actually calls for four photos, but I used the space to journal and add my title.

I need to get back into scrapbooking more.  I enjoy it, but I never seem to have enough time to get it done.

 

Laasting Memories #816 3 is a crowd

This month, Wendy is our hostess and will be challenging us to have fun with number play.
 For the current challenge, use the following:

3- photos

3 - triangles

3- word title

3 - embellishments

I did two different takes on the challenge.  

One with just the triangles and embellishments, which was meant to look like party hats.  Personally, I think they look more like fake Christmas trees than hats.

Second

Same photos and cupcake, but the triangles are smaller, and the orientation is askew.  (Feels more like a piñata, plus I added some paper stripes to fill the space and add color and texture.)

I was going to keep just the cupcake with words as my title, but ended up adding the "Hip, Hip, Hooray" stripe, which I then repeated in my journaling.  

All the pieces on the second layout are from my birthday scraps from a couple of different collections, but all seem to work together.
