Friday Features

Happy Friday, everyone! We have made it around to the weekend again. We are supposed to get some snow this weekend so it looks like a great time to stay inside and scrap!
We haven't had a "Friday Feature" around here in ages, and we have had so many beautiful layouts entered into our challenges this month, so I thought it was time to get back to it! I have picked one layout from each of the challenges to feature today.
Challenge #432 - Black, White, Blue
#20 - Melissa Hill

Challenge #433 - Black, White, Green
#9 - Barbara

#434 - Black, White, Pink

#22 - Brenda B

Challenge #435 - Black, White, Lilac

#25 - Toni

Such beautiful layouts, ladies! Be sure to grab your "Featured" button from the left sidebar.

There's still a little time to play along with our February challenges. Deadline to enter is tomorrow, Saturday, March 2nd. 

We will be back tomorrow to introduce our guest designers for March so be sure to stop back by.
Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you find time to create with us this week!

Friday's featured Artist October 4th

 Welcome to this wonderful first Friday of October. 

 So glad you can join us here at Lasting Memories for our featured artist this week.

Joefil Cate from Cate's Corner

Here's what she has to say about herself

Hello everyone, My name is Joefil Cate. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada  and am a stay @ home mom. I am married to a wonderful husband that encourages my scrapbooking. I have a 4 yrs. old daughter named Chelsey who is my inspiration! She is my favorite topic to scrapbook and I use her photos all the time. I started scrapbooking three years ago and fell in love with it right away. I am now officially addicted! I scrapbook whenever I feel like it which is a lot. I don’t have a particular style I just go with the flow. I get many good ideas from sketches and challenges online. I love the online challenges. I started blogging online more than a year ago so I can better share my layouts with others

 Joefil joins us on a regular basis here at Lasting Memories and you may recognize some of her past layouts from the following challenges:

Scavenger Blog hop and winner of my (Haven's) blog bling

All about Me

Friday's featured artist is...

This week's featured artist is Melinda Felicilda!

I love that she finds the time to play along with our challenges so often.  Her layouts are always fun and her children are adorable!  

Here is her take on our 'animal antics' challenge from this week. 

I just absolutely love how her red paper matches the black ink.  The arrows, the stars, the twine - OH MY!  It just all comes together perfectly!  

Thank you, Melinda for joining in our challenges.  Can't wait to see what you share with us next!

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you find time to create with us this week!
