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!!

Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a good weekend. October 1st is just a couple of days away - can you believe that?! October! It seems like summer just started and now we are already in another season.

We also have another guest designer joining us in October. This guest designer has joined us before and she always shares beautiful layouts. Help us welcome Rainny as our second guest designer this month:

Introducing Our Guest Designer For October

Hello, everyone! I hope you are having a good Saturday!

It is almost a new month and tomorrow we will be kicking off a new set of challenges along with a new theme, so today we are introducing our talented Guest Designer for October - Lori Kobular! Here's a little about Lori:


Hi!  My name is Lori and I have lived my whole life in New Jersey!  I am married to my wonderful and supportive husband Wayne for 39 years.  We have two daughters, Julie and Jenna.  Julie just turned 32 and Jenna is 24 and I love scrapbooking about our lives!  It is my biggest passion!  I started scrapbooking when I was in grade school and then stopped for a while.  I went to a Creative Memories Class in 1997 and that class rekindled my love of scrapbooking!  I have been scrapbooking ever since!  I became a Creative Memories Consultant and I am currently on several Design Teams making cards!  When I am not scrapping I am making cards!   I love going to Crops so that I can work on my albums without any interruptions!  I am so excited to be a Guest Designer for Lasting Memories Challenge Blog!  It is one of my favorite Challenge Blogs to participate in!  

You can see more of Lori's beautiful work on her blog - Lori's Kreations
