Crafty Ladies - Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal

 Good Morning friends and happy Sunday! It’s time for the latest Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal. This will be the last challenge for August and the theme of Get Your Game On!

                          This week's challenge is inspired by the board game - Sequence.


The object of the game Sequence is to create horizontal, vertical, or diagonal rows of five chips on the board.  

               Sequence - This week I am giving you 3 options for your challenge:

Option #1 - Create a layout with a grid background - 

Option #2 - Line up your photos in a row across your layout - this can be vertically, horizontally, or on the diagonal.

Option #3 - Show us a sequence of events in your photos - or now and then photos, or before and after photos. 

Be sure to let us know which option you went with this week - Option 1, 2, or 3

Here is my layout, I chose Option 2 but Option 3 also works as my photos are shown in the sequence of how the event occurred.


These photos are from last summer when my daughter and I were finally able to be together during the pandemic. We had been apart for so long and we love to create together!

Material list - Echo Park paper and stickers and Freckled Fawn puffy alphabet stickers.
