Happy Sunday everyone, time for another Lasting Memories Layout Challenges Design Team Reveal. We are starting a new month of challenges a little early. The theme for March is Birthdays and we are starting out the month's challenges with a lovely sketch from the very talented Laura Whitaker.

Here is the sketch....

And here is my layout....

Birthday Wishes for the little man turns 7 and in a few days he will turn 8, so it was a great time for Birthday challenges.

I used my We  R Memory Keepers Mini 8 punch to create my circles as shown in the sketch.

I added some acrylic paint splatters to the background.

Product Lists: We R Memory Keepers - Cakes & Candles paper, ephemera & Enamel dots, Jillibean Soup - Soup Staples and twine from my stash. I used a couple of Silhouette cut files as well including a Hand Drawn Circle freebie from 17 Turtles - Juliana Michaels.

Adore

Good morning friends, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far.

I have another wedding layout to share with you today....

Isn't this just the most adorable photo ever? The photographer capture this moment perfectly!!! Photo credit Luxarte Studios.

Here are some closeups...

 

I kept my grandson's boutineer just for this layout. I created a little heart shape pocket using my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool and Fuseables card. Adding a piece of organza ribbon by the Ribbon Boutique is just the right touch.

I use a couple of my favourite circle stamps to add to the background

Product List: Basic Grey - Prism papers, sticker and wood veneer, AC Cardstock, Heidi Swapp epoxy title and hearts, Simple Stories enamel dots.

I was inspired by The ScrapRoom Freaky Fast Friday challenge.

And by the Paper Issues - Pinspire Me Issue - I was inspired by the hearts and the colours.

A little ribbon, stickers and strip journalling are just the right touches.

A few Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon cut files to go with the theme.

Just Married - Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal

Happy Sunday morning everyone. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

It is time for another installment of the "All In The Name Of Love" challenge over at Lasting Memories Layout Challenges. Today's challenge is Celebration of Love - create a layout showing a moment, celebration, favourtie hobby, family, anything you love. That was an easy one for me.

Here is my layout....

What better "Celebration of Love" than a wedding!!!

I just love this photo....I had journaling all printed out on strips to add to the layout, but I thought it took away from it, so I added it to the back of the layout....it reads: So much captured in this candid photo.....You are both looking in the directions of your families just before the minister announces you as Mr. & Mrs.

Aiden is in the background admiring the ring bearer cushion.

Here are some closeups....

I added lace to the top of my layout and an antique piece of lace from my Great Aunt Ada. I wouldn't want to guess how old that piece of lace is.

I used my Silhouette to cut the heart, title and flower cluster.

The background paper is a lovely soft pink flocked print....fabulous texture.

A piece of organza ribbon for a feminine touch to the tag. I stapled a tiny heart with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher.

Product List: Anna Griffin papers, ribbon, lace & metal leaf from my stash.

Be sure to stop by the Lasting Memories Blog and check out the rest of the Design Team's creations. Then link your Celebration of Love layout up before the end of the month.

I started my layout with some inspiration from a Citrus Twist Kits sketch....

I was also inspired by the challenge # 121 at The Paper Girl's Challenge to use Hearts

and 

Use Your Stuff Challenge #250 - Love is in the Air - Use Hearts

You & Me Forever Together - Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal

Good Morning everyone...time for the latest Lasting Memories Layout Challenges Design Team Reveal. We are continuing with our theme of "All In The Name Of Love" for February. This week's challenge is HEARTS or ARROWS - Use one or both of these shapes on your layouts.

Here is my layout....

I used both Hearts and arrows on my layout. This photo was taken at our daughter's wedding last June, but I thought it was perfect for a Valentine's layout with the photo printed in black & white.

Here are some closeups...

I punched a heart out of vellum and layered it over an arrow sticker for the cluster at the bottom and part of my title.

I anchored my photo on a large ampersand.

A punched ampersand grouped with alpha stickers for the rest of the title.

Product List: Anna Griffin papers, Teresa Collins vellum, Heidi Swapp title stickers, Jillibean Soup Grey Smile Wise Words, Fancy Pants alpha, MME stickers and enamel dots, Tim Holtz tiny attachers and washi from my stash. Photo - Luxarte Studios
