AT THE FAIR - Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal

Good Sunday morning everyone. We are heading home from the cottage today but first I have we have a new Theme and challenge for you today at Lasting Memories Layout Challenges. We are starting our theme for August a little early and it is - All About Animals. Today's challenge is - On the farm - include a farm animal on your layout (cow, horse, sheep, pig, chicken, etc...) - it can be in the photo, sticker/embellishment, or on the paper.

Here is my Design Team reveal...

Here some of the gang are posing with a cow at the Burford Fair last year. This cow is interactive. You can acutally try your hand at milking this lovely girl.

Here are some closeups...

Everything on my layout is October Afternoon - Farm Girl.

I was inspired by the sketch from Sketch N Scrap

Be sure to stop by the Lasting Memories Blog and check out the rest of the team's designs. Link yours up before the end of August.

Thanks for stopping by! Stay Crafty!!!

Ottawa 2016 Mini Album - Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal

Good Sunday Morning everyone...and it is a wonderful one. It is time for the last challenge of the month for Lasting Memories Layout Challenges. We are continuing with the theme of Summer Adventures. Today's challenge is - Go on a Scrappy Adventure - document a layout in a size outside your normal use. Show us your mini-album, travelers notebook, custom pocket page, etc!

I choose to create a mini album....my first....

I created an accordian style mini album and I was inspired by the following tutorials:

Tara at Citrus Twist Kits and Stephanie Bryan. Their step by step instructions were very easy to follow!

For the title page, I used a project life type card and added my title. I sewed over the alphas to insure they stay in place.

By using a pocket folder, it gave space for a couple of extra photos. I used a upcycled clothing tag to mount my photos on.

Product List: MME - follow your heart background paper, Pinkfresh Life Noted Printed Cards, Fancy Pants alpha, The Paper Studio tas, DCWV envelope, Elle's Studio -Live Laugh Love wood veneer, Me  & My Big Ideas - Mambi stickers & Puffy stickers and the washi is from my stash.

This was a great stash buster using up paper, PL cards, washi, stickers, wood veneer etc.... PLUS I used a total of 16 photos! Gotta love stash busting!!!

Be sure to stop by the Lasting Memories Blog to check out the rest of the teams creations. You have until the end of the month to play along with this month's challenges.

Explore The Rideau

Good afternoon everyone, it is another beautiful summer day. Today I would like to share another layout from our trip to Ottawa last summer.

I created a double layout to feature many photos at the Rideau Canal.

Here is each side....

And some closeups...

I kept the embellishing to a minimum so that the photos are the stars of the layout.

I added my journalling to the postcard tab at the bottom.

Product List: Making Memories papers, MME chipboard, DCWV Air Mail envelope, Hemptique hemp cord, Heidi Swapp epoxy title and stickers, Carta Bella alpha & The Paper Studio tag, the gear and brads are from my stash.

I was inspired by the double sketch from Stick It Down.
