Our "Scrappy" Friends!

Welcome!

Hello fellow scrapbookers!!! Welcome to "Lasting Memories" which is all about LAYOUTS!! Yes, JUST layouts! There are no cards allowed here. We have weekly themed challenges, but you have the whole month to get in on the fun! Our challenges begin each Sunday at 8am EST and all 4 challenges will end on the date listed on the sidebar at 6pm EST. At month's end, we will choose a GDT to join us for a month! Only one entry per challenge, and no back-linking is allowed since we would love to know that we "challenged" you. We look forward to challenging you and helping you get your pages completed!

Specialized Hosting Sites

A lot of crafters use specialized hosting sites that not all of us have access to. We just wanted to let you know that if we don't comment, it's because we don't have access - but we see your work here at LM and appreciate your taking the time to link up and show off your style!!

LM #786 - The Power of Words: Word Stickers

Good morning, scrappy friends, and welcome back to another challenge here at Lasting  Memories. This is design team member Cheryl, and when I first wrote up this post, I had just finished reading The Hobbit with my daughter as part of her home school English class. One of the themes of the book is the power of words, which inspired me to see how we can use words to great effect on our layouts.

LM#786 - Use word or phrase stickers on your layout.

Here are the fabulous layouts from the design team, starting with our guest designer.

LM #785 - The Power of Words: 50+ Words

Hello everyone, or perhaps I should say "Ciao!" The Winter Olympics is off to a flying start in Milan, and today is the Superbowl here in the USA, so there's plenty to keep everyone busy, but hopefully you still have a chance to sit down and get creative this month.

This is design team member Cheryl. I just finished reading The Hobbit with my daughter as part of her home school English class, and one of the themes of the book is the power of words, which inspired me to see how we can use words to great effect on our layouts.

LM #785 - Use 50+ words in your journaling.

Here are the design team layouts, starting with our guest designer.

GDT Amanda

I went a little crazy writing about a wonderful hotel my hubby and I stayed in, so I ended up with about 175 words!


Now it's your turn to show us your layouts inspired by the sketch. Link up your layouts to the linky below by Saturday, February 28th at 10 PM EST for a chance to be our guest designer for an upcoming month.
