LM #690 - Barbie and Ken (item for every letter of their names)

 LM #690 - Be inspired by the famous couple Barbie and Ken by using an item for every letter of their names.

Welcome to my last guest Dt post for lasting memories.  I've got to say this one was a true challenge for me as I struggled to come up with items for some of the letters.  With a little creative license, I got it done with the following: Baker twine, Arrow, Ribbon, Banners, Ink, Embroidery floss, Kraft-colored items, Embossing (dry), and Nine phrase/ icon stickers.

I also was inspired by the throwback sketch at the scrap room

When I got this simple stories kit I never thought that I would use the journal card, but I think it works perfectly for the page, and can't wait for my husband and son to fill it in.

LM #689- Stick items together using fasteners

LM #689  Stick two or more items together by using fasteners: brads, ribbons, twine, staples, etc.

Welcome to my third week as a guest designer for lasting memories.  This week's challenge is to use a fastener.   Before I chose an arrow-shaped brad I had a whole different layout in mind but wanted to enter it into the S.I.T January challenge

aside from the grey and kraft papers the rest of my layout is pieced together  Simple stories scraps.  I'm not sure which collection it was but it was perfect for this fishing layout.  All my scraps were 4x6 or smaller and I used the plaid branding stripe under the fish.  The die-cut fish and bobber were popped up on foam squares so that they would stand out against the same color background paper.

Here's a close-up of my brad that goes through/ connects all of the layers.

LM #688 and February SID double page

 

 I'm back for my second guest design post for Lasting Memories.  

This time we are creating a layout and a card using the same products. If cards absolutely aren't your thing, create layouts for two different topics/events using the same products.  I started my layout with project life cards and matched them to paper in my stash.  I used two smaller cards to create the base of my card and pulled in some travel-themed embellishments that are from the same kit as the airplane sticker on the layout.

Here are the Stick it Down sketches for February.  

Hope you join us at both Lasting Memories and Stick It Down

LM #687 Use complementary colors

LM #687 Use complementary colors (colors opposite each other on the color wheel). Other colors are fine to include but focus primarily on your color pair.

I'm so excited to share my first guest design for Lasting Memories.

I chose to use Purple and its complementary color Yellow from my layout featuring the Troops Trunk or Treat event in 2022.  I used old CM Halloween papers.  Light purple, yellow, and green are all from a 6x6 paper pad that I pieced together.  I tried to hide as many of the seams as possible with the title work, journaling, and spiders.  The dark purple paper was from an 8x8 pad which I also pieced together.  Love using up my stash.
