Cards For Izzy

(this post will stay on top till October 21st, pls scroll down for all new posts, thank you!)

Hi there! As most of you know, Evanna's daughter has been diagnosed with Leukemia. When Evanna emailed me last week, I just felt heartsick and wondered what could I do? So, after a lot of thought, I'm going to run "Cards For Izzy" and reach out to all our fellow blogging friends to send a card to little Izzy. All cards can be mailed to me at:

Cards For Izzy

Cards do NOT have to be "Get Well", in fact, they can be absolutely ANYTHING that will put a smile on a little girl's face. If you have little ones and they want to make something, PLS add that in! The more cards, the better. I'm asking for all cards to be mailed out by October 21 and I will wait a couple weeks to be sure I get everyone's and then I will pkg everything up and send out to Evanna. Thank you all so very much - now let's make this little girl, and her family, smile.

Reader's Submission - "Family, it's about time"

Hello everyone!  I feel like we all haven't chatted in a while!!  LOL  :-)  It's Michele with you today.  I am just loving all the layout submissions so far for our Current Challenge.  This layout from MARCIA D. in particular caught my eye!  So I had to share with all of you!!
Congratulations Marcia!!  Grab your "I was FEATURED" badge from our left side bar and display proudly on your blog!!

Marcia's curled and distressed edges on her layout show dimension perfectly.  There is still lots of time to join us!!  Would love to see some more wonderful layouts!
You have until Saturday, October 22 @ 9pm EST to LINK UP.  You never know... you could be chosen as our TOP 3.
Have fun!!

We also might shake things up a bit in the next weeks to come.  So be looking for a few things NEW to start in the month of November.

So glad you all join us from week to week.  You inspire us all tremendously!!

Happy Scrappin'!!

Introducing .. A New DT Member!

Good morning friends! Michele and I have been chatting a little and since we have 2 DT members dealing with some personal issue's right now, we decided to add one more person to our DT. I didn't want to run a DT call for one person, so I went back through my challenges and this person has joined just about every single challenge this term, has commented on our personal blogs and has been an inspiration. So, without further a-do, please give a warm welcome to ... Suzanne!! Here's what Suzanne has to say about herself:

"Hello everyone! Hi this is Suzanne from cricutcraftingrammy.blogspot.com. I am so excited that I have been asked to be a designer for Lasting Memories. I love the challenges at Lasting Memories, as they give me so much inspiration to keep up with my scrapbooking. I retired over a year ago after teaching 33 years to become a full time grandmother. I have been blessed with 3 sweet granddaughters in the last 22 months, so I have lots of pictures to keep me busy. I usually use my Cricut Expression or Imagine to create layouts, cards, home decor and other projects. I am a member of the Cricut Circle and am on the Design Team for Sweet Sassy Diva and Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. I find so much inspiration from other crafters and love to learn new techniques. I am looking forward to sharing with you here at Lasting Memories" 

Welcome Suzanne!! We look fwd to working with you!!!

LMCB #59 - "TAG" You're It!

Good morning friends! It's time for another Lasting Memories challenge and today we're challenging you to show off those tags on your layouts! Feel free to use this sketch to get you started!

Thank you all for joining us last week and we look forward to seeing more of your layouts this week! Looks like some of you who join us week after week are really getting caught up!! Let's see some awesome inspiration from the DT for this week ...
