More December Daily - Catching up on Project Life Style

Good Morning everyone, it is an eventful one for me this morning as I am starting a new job in a different department. On Friday I said goodbye to some ladies that I have known and worked along side for almost 30 years. This is a really big change and even bigger step for me!

Today I would like to share a couple of Project Life Style cards with you. I got my inspiration from Sketches In Thyme Project Life Style sketches.

My journalling card for Day One of my December Daily.

And here is the sketch #94 from Sketches In Thyme Project Life Style that inspired me.

And this photo shows it tucked in behind my photos.

And without the photos in front...

And here is my card from another sketch...

And the sketch #93 from Sketches In Thyme Project Life Style that inspired me once again. I reversed the layout to suit my photo.

Here is my December Daily page for Day 13.

And with the journalling card tucked in.

Midland Harbour - Lasting Memories Layout Challenges Reveal

Today I would like to share with you the latest Lasting Memories Layout Challenges Design Team reveal. We are starting February challenges today and the theme is Colour Me Happy and today's challenge is Blues - use blue as the primary colour on your layout.

Here is my double layout...

We visited the Midland Harbour last summer on vacation. All the papers that I used are blue or have a blue pattern on them. and my photos show the beautiful blue sky.

Here is each side close up....

And some closeups....

I used a font and cut my title from a flocked paper. I had to do it twice as the first time all of the blue flock rubbed off!!!

The little anchors are from a friend's punch that I borrowed at a crop. The wood veneer compass was the perfect embellie! I even used the product strip from the one paper with the words Let Your Adventure Begin Today!

Product List: KaiserCraft paper & stickers, The Paper Studio background paper - Shiplap, MME Lush flocked paper and buttons. Wood veneer from my stash.

Be sure to stop by the Lasting Memories Blog to check out the rest of the team's layouts and then link yours up before the end of February! We would love to see what you create.

I was also inspired by The Studio Challenges Mood Board. I was inspired by the blue colours and the water.
