LM #770 - color palette inspiration

 This month, Lasting Memories is challenging us to use color moodboards for October

Here is the current board

I went with the leafy green, light blue, and rusty orange

as well as touched on some of the plant motifs.

I was also inspired by the September 1st sketch from Sketches in Thyme

Here are a few close-ups of my embellishment clusters.

Thanks for stopping by, and remember to join us at Lasting Memories.

LM# 769 -plaid

This month, Lasting Memories is challenging us to use up our stash of paper.

 Include at least one patterned paper of the required design for the week on your layout.

This week, use plaid-patterned paper

I only used small hints of plaid along the edge of each side of my layout.

I have very little of the paper left, but it was the perfect amount to make this layout pop with a bit of color.

Thank you for stopping by to take a look. Remember, you still have time to create a layout for the challenge.

 

LM florals #768

 This month, Lasting Memories is challenging us to use up our stash of paper.

 Include at least one patterned paper of the required design for the week on your layout.

This week, use floral-patterned paper

I struggle to use floral paper, especially when the pattern is a large print like the paper I used.

I fussy cut around each of the flowers and layered them along the side of my layout to mimic the flower wall at the entrance to Silverwood theme park

I almost forgot to take a photo of the paper before I started hacking on it.

I have a companion page using stripes that has the journaling for our day of adventure.  You can find it here

LM stripes #767

 

This month, Lasting Memories is challenging us to use up our stash of paper.

 Include at least one patterned paper of the required design for the week on your layout.

This week, use striped patterned paper

 This is the companion page to my floral page that can be found here.

For this page, I used a large flower to carry the theme across the layout while featuring the stripes with fewer photos.  The awesome thing about stripes is that it is a great place to do journaling.

I'm not sure I like the car sticker in the title, but I'm using up stash

Close up of the journaling after I fixed the date mix-up.

Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to use your stash with Lasting memories

Graduation part 2

Finally getting to some September challenges now that we are more than halfway through the month.

I’m using the following sketch from Rochelle 

And the third column on Stacey’s tic tac toe

The background paper is polka dots, brads are under the banners, and red metallic twine.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peak.
