Lasting Memories April 16- Easter Sunday use bunnies, chicks or eggs

Happy Easter Sunday everyone.  I hope the Easter bunny stopped at your house with some special treats.  I'm trying to cut back on the amount of sugar I'm consuming so I decide to treat myself to some new scrapping supplies this spring instead of indulging in a chocolate bunny.

I picked up the Creative memories power palette folders.  Now that I'm doing more kits I like to keep everything together so I don't have to hunt and search for coordinating papers and embellishments.  Next up is creating my own kits from my stash.

 

Anyway on to this weeks Challenge which is to create a layout using Bunnies, chicks or eggs.

Also don't forget there is plenty of time for  you to play along with our first two spring challenges as well (use flowers, use the word spring)

 

Here's my Easter layout from April 2015

 

I used the March jumpstart sketch from TSR, but added a few twist

Super cute bunny from the march  TSR kit "Echo Park- Celebrate Easter/Spring"

 

 The lined paper in the kit was the perfect place to add journaling to the layout

 and my title piece is salvage from the paper identification strip. 

 

Hope You enjoyed my inspiration.  Please join us over at lasting memories for our Spring Challenges

 

Lasting Memories April 9th - use the word spring in your title or journaling

Welcome to the second spring themed layout challenge.  This week we are asking you to create a layout that uses the word Spring in the title or journaling.  We can't wait to see what you come up with and don't forget it's not to late to join us for last weeks challenge to use flowers.

I choose to go with the word Spring in my title and was inspired by the March 15th sketch over at Stuck sketches. Nothing like a good sketch to get the creative juices flowing.  I've been away from scrapping for too long due to girl scouts and I have a feeling that this Spring will be busy too.

 

But for now here it is my "Spring Planting" layout

 featuring my Junior scout Danielle and her troop mate Samantha. 

I pulled the blue polka dot paper from my stash as it was a close match to one of the journal cards I have from the GS kit I've been trying to use up.  I got it from one of my former scouts that was cleaning out her closet.  Cute die cutes and bugs go perfectly with the theme too

Hope you've been inspired to create a spring layout. 

 Don't forget to share it with us at lasting memories.

 

 

Lasting Memories April 2 -Spring Flowers

I can't believe Spring is finally here after weeks and weeks of non stop rain for us in the Pacific Northwest, so to celebrate all of the challenges this month will have a Spring theme.

This week we are asking you to create a layout using spring flowers.  It can be photos of flowers, patterned paper with flowers or even bunches of flower embellishments.  I went with flower embellishments as my photos are actually from November/Dec 2015.  I did however go with the bright spring colors to compliment the flowers on my layout and to pull in the blue on the bow my daughter uses.

I also used  even more scrapping challenge

 

The flowers are a mix of die cuts from my TSR kit " Jillibean soup Chit Chat chowder" and felt flowers that I have had in my stash for a while along with the assorted pearls and gems.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you join us at lasting memories for our spring challenges
