Night and Day

  Welcome back for my last July layout at Lasting Memories.  I've enjoyed my time as a guest designer and loved seeing all of your amazing layouts.   Now onto challenge #609 for the final challenge. This week it's your choice to create a layout featuring either hot and cold, summer and winter, or night and day. 

I choose night and day featuring another of my son’s troop campouts.  I only had a few photos that I borrowed from the troop Facebook posts so not the greatest photo of the boys around the campfire.

I’m trying to finish off another of my simple stories "Happy Trails" kit and priced together scraps for the banner stripes.  Can’t even tell when the photos are in place

 Please make sure to share your layouts with us at Lasting Memories 

Spots and stripes

 Welcome to my third week as a guest designer for July at Lasting Memories.
This month's challenge is opposites attract.  Challenge #608 Spots and Stripes: create a layout featuring both spots and stripes on it. 

I really struggled with this one as most of my holiday papers are plaid.  I made it work by adding striped washi tape and embellishments.   I also added in some old stickles in a dark glitter green.  It was a challenge as the tip was dry and clumpy so not all the dots are uniform.

I’ll be back next week with another opposite attract layout but in the meantime please share your layouts with us at Lasting Memories 

Mood board at UYS

 

 It's time for some summer inspiration.  Select an image, color, pattern, or whatever from this bright mood board to guide your creative process then share it here with us at Use Your Stuff.  I went with the pool theme, sunglasses, and the colors pink and orange.

I was also inspired by this sketch by Laura Whitaker

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you come up with.

New and Old

Welcome to my second week as a guest designer for July at Lasting Memories.

This month's challenge is opposites attract. Challenge #607- New and Old: create a layout with new and old.

 It might be a newborn with an older relative, comparing an old look with a new look, or using both old and new products.

For my new item, it’s the first time my son presided over the court of honor as a senior patrol leader.

And the old is all of the uniforms hanging behind the boys.  The shirts are the scoutmaster and assistant scoutmasters from when they were boys.  Also the paper I'm using is several years old

Now let’s see your take on old and new.

I’ll be back next week with another opposite attract layout but in the meantime please share your layouts with us at Lasting Memories 

Big and Small

Welcome to my first guest design team layout for July at Lasting Memories.

This month's challenge is opposites attract.  #606 Big and Small: create a layout and include both big and small on it. It might be a big title with a small photo or both big and small embellishments.

I went with big and small font. The large font is fussy cut from a 4x6 decorative mat. 

 The two alphas are from my simple stories “Take a Hike” kit. 

 

Another Boy Scout layout is done and closer to finishing off 2021 troop photos.  I have a pocket page album to do for his big summer camp adventure as the troop traveled to West Virginia for Orion Project at the Summit.

I’ll be back next week with another opposite attract layout but in the meantime please share your layouts with us at Lasting Memories 

Guest Designer for Lasting Memories in July

 

 I'm super excited to announce that I'll be a guest designer for Lasting Memories for the month of July.  It seems like I'm making a guest appearance about once a year (the last time was June 2021) and am so glad to be back.  I love playing along with the challenges and getting inspiration from the design team.  I think their challenges are some of the best but I might be biased as I'm a former DT ( 2013-2017).  This year I'm on a DT over at Use Your Stuff
