Introducing June's Guest Designers

 Hello, everyone! Happy Saturday to you! I hope your weekend is off to a good start. Today we are introducing our guest designers for June.

We have two very talented scrappers joining us this month. Please help us welcome Haven and Julene!

June GDT - Haven 

I'm super excited to announce that I'll be a guest designer for Lasting Memories for the month of June.  I love playing along with the challenges and getting inspiration from the design team.  I think their challenges are some of the best but I might be biassed as I'm a former DT ( 2013-2017).  Life just got too busy to continue to commit to the team, so I stepped away from contributing and have played along when I could.  This year one of my #2021goals is to scrap for at least 15 minutes a day and write a blog post at least once a week. With the help of a friend and a cute month tracker I’m sticking close to my goal, only missed seven days so far this year. 

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

June GDT - Julene

Julene Matthews has been scrapbooking for about 18 years and has been on several design teams. She’s a regular participant at Lasting Memories. She lives in Sydney Australia and is a retired Teacher-librarian.

You can see Julene's beautiful work on her blog - Julene By Design.

We have a new theme and a new set of challenges all ready to go for you starting tomorrow so be sure to stop back by!

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! Have a great day!

LM #546 - Color Inspiration #1

Hello, everyone! Happy Sunday to you! I do hope that you have been able to partake in some of the iNational Scrapbooking Day festivities around the web this weekend. There are so many fun challenges to play along with!

It's also the start of a new month and we have a new theme and four fun new challenges for you! Our theme and challenges for May are all courtesy of DT member Maureen and she is bringing us color inspiration challenges! Here is what Maureen had to say - "I have chosen moodboards  as we are half way through Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern we are in the midst of Autumn,  Here in Australia not all parts get the same type of Autumn.  Here in Brisbane its like a mild Spring Day compared to our southern neighbours who's gardens are being prepared for winter and the trees are loosing their leaves." Maureen has chosen a beautiful mood board/color inspiration piece to get us started.

Here's a look at this week's challenge:

LM #546 - Create a layout using the colors from the mood board below. Neutral colors (black, white, kraft) are always welcome!
