BURFORD FALL FAIR - LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES DT REVEAL

Good morning Friends, it is time for the newest Lasting Memories Layout Challenges design team reveal. We are starting the March challenges a little early and the theme is National Month of - Did you know? I have you at the edge of your seat right? Today's challenge is,- Did you know that March was named for the Roman God "Mars"? Mars was the god of war and also an agricultural guardian. So this gives you 2 options, a layout about war (think a layout of a war hero, museum-area about war  or an agricultural/farm layout (which this could cover just about anything with farming-food, animals, seasons....)

Here is my layout. I chose to do an agriculture layout...



Lots of family fun at our local Agricultural Fair.

Here is each page close up....



And some closeups...






Product List: Photo Play paper & stickers, AC Cardstock, Echo Park Enamel Dots and stickers.

Be sure to stop by the Lasting Memories Blog to see what the rest of the team created and link yours up before the end of March.

I was also inspired by The Studio Challenges to use Kraft Paper. My background paper is Kraft paper.
