Good morning friends, can you believe that it is November already? Time sure flies! It is time for the latest Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal . Our challenges for November are being hosted by design team member Lisa. Lisa is an art teacher, and she really wanted to use some artwork as inspiration for the month of November. She recently visited the University of Iowa Children's Hospital with her daughter and grandson. She was very excited about the artwork that is on display there, so she has chosen 4 artists whose works gave her scrapbooking ideas. Be inspired by the artists' use of colour, pattern, icons, and the like. Pull whatever inspires you out and use it in your layout for the week.

Who Are You Going To Call? - Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal
Happy Sunday friends and welcome to the this week’s Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal . Sometimes when the mojo is lacking, it's good to look at something that will get the creative juices flowing. This month, we are going to be inspired by four things that will hopefully get us scrapping away! Be sure to share your inspiration when you post your layout. Today's Challenge is Be inspired by a Movie of your choice.
Here is my layout…
I was inspired by the Ghostbusters Movies and hence my title! So long story short….I had been hearing a scratching noise coming from the fireplace for days. The dog could hear it as well. My husband…not so much. Fast forward to Easter Weekend and we were expecting a house full of family! I shared my story with our oldest son and lo and behold he takes a picture down a small crack and two beady little eyes are looking up! It was a Mama raccoon and her babies. I called an animal rescue company and the price was outrageous! So….Who Are You Going To Call? Oldest son and Hubby! They extracted them all successfully and Mama moved them to the abandoned chimney on our garage! A much better place for the furry family!
