LM #623 - All About Sketches - Double Page Sketch

 Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Lasting Memories - we are so happy that you stopped by today! We are just days away from the first of November and that means we have a new theme and a new set of challenges all ready to go!

DT member Lori K. has picked our theme for November and it is a favorite around here - sketches! Here is what she has to say about it - I find sketch challenges to be very difficult, but once I have completed the sketch I love the page and I love how it gets me out of my comfort zone. 

Here is our first sketch challenge of the month - a double-page sketch from Allison Davis for Scrapbook Generation:

Here is the link on Pinterest:  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/407153622575699135/

Feel free to just use one side of the sketch if you don't want to make a double-page layout.

Here are the beautiful layouts from the design team:

LM #619 - Mood Board/Color Inspiration Week #1

Hello, hello! Welcome back to Lasting Memories! It is the start of a new month and that means that it is time for a new theme and a new set of challenges.

Before we get to that, we have some exciting news to share. Our September Guest Designer - Brandi - has agreed to stay on as a full-time designer for Lasting Memories! She will be joining us later on in the month so be on the lookout for her lovely layouts!

Now for our October theme. DT member Maureen is our hostess for October and she has chosen four beautiful color inspiration/mood boards for us to use.

LM #619 - Mood Board/Color Inspiration - Winter Mood Board - Create a layout using the mood board/color inspiration below. Choose all of the colors or just one - it is up to you, or maybe you are inspired by the flowers or both.

Maureen says - here is the winter mood board the colours remind me of the winter we just had in Australia, the coldest on record since 1985.

Introducing October's Guest Designers!!

Hello, everyone, and Happy October 1st!  I can't believe that it is already time to introduce our October Guest Designers!

For October we have two talented scrappers joining us. Please help us give a warm welcome to Jane and Lynda! 

October GDT - Jane

I have been scrapping now for over fifteen years using this wonderful craft as both my creative outlet and a way to preserve my family’s precious memories. My hobby has become somewhat of an obsession and is now a very large part of my life – my overflowing craft space can attest to that! My personal layout style has evolved over the years and while I will happily try a mix of varied products and techniques, I do tend to lean towards a clean, relatively simple style with heavy emphasis on white space. I like to capture not only those special events in the lives of my family but also our everyday moments too. I am a major fan of challenges and am particularly drawn to gaining inspiration from mood boards and colour themes for my pages.

Please visit me on my blog - http://scrappiecesofme.blogspot.com.au/

October GDT - Lynda

Hi, I’m Lynda. I’m excited to introduce myself this month as a guest designer here at Lasting Memories Layout Challenges. I have 2 grown children, as well as 1 granddaughter & another on the way. We all live in Kentucky. I am a semi-retired speech pathologist. I have been scrapbooking for about 20 years. I love to make not only layouts but cards & mini-albums also. I find most of my inspiration from photos & patterned paper. I like doing challenges because they make me step out of my comfort zone. Most of my creations are posted at instagram.com/scraphousemom. Thank you so much for the opportunity to show you my creations!

Be sure to check out Jane's blog and Lynda's Instagram page to see more of their beautiful creations.

Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see the theme that DT member Maureen has chosen for October and for our first challenge of the month.

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