LM #528 - Mixed Bag - Anything Goes

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Lasting Memories, we are so happy that you are here today. Before I get to this week's challenge, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you that have played along with us in 2020. We are so thankful that you choose to spend some time with us each week. In order to give our design team a little time off for the holidays, this will be our last challenge of the month. The linky for our December challenges will remain open until Saturday, January 2nd and we will be right back here on January 3rd with new challenges to kick-off 2021.

Since this is our last challenge for December, I would like to thank Rona and Barbara for being our guest designers. Their beautiful work is always a great source of inspiration.

Now for this week's challenge. Our theme for December is "Mixed Bag" and our challenges are a little bit of everything. To finish off 2020 our last challenge will be an easy one:
