LM #813 - Jill's Favorite Things: Places

Oops, I was away this weekend and thought I scheduled this post in advance, but I just noticed it was never published. Sorry about that! I updated the linky so you can add your layout until Tuesday, September 1st. Apologies again.

Welcome back to Lasting Memories, where it's all about layouts. Thanks to everyone who has joined us so far this month for our challenges featuring Jill's favorites. Jill's life is making it difficult for her to participate in our challenges, so she has decided to step down from the design team right now. Thanks for all the great inspiration, Jill. We will miss you! In her honor, here is the final challenge of August.

LM #813 - Favorite Place: We all have a place that makes us smile just thinking about it, and yes, being at home counts. Show off your favorite place in this challenge.

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

August GDT Heidi

Heidi said: my favorite place is my house because my cats and my video games are there!

Lisa

My favorite place is a conservation pond near my home where I feel calm. I can usually see the swans, sandhill cranes, painted turtles and different species of ducks when I am there.

Now that you've gotten a few ideas from the design team, it's your turn to get creative! Link up your layouts to the linkup below by Saturday, August 29 at 10PM EST for a chance to be our guest designer for an upcoming month.
