LM #627 - 2022 Favorite Challenges - Love Your Stash

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Lasting Memories - we are so happy that you have stopped by today! I can't believe that it is already time for our last theme and our last set of challenges for 2022. This year has gone by fast! Let's get to it.

For December we will be revisiting some of our favorite Lasting Memories challenges from 2022 - according to how many played along with us each month - and our challenges will be based on those themes. The month of March saw the most entries, so our first challenge of December will be from our "Love Your Stash" challenges.

LM #627 - Love Your Stash (March 2022) - Create a layout and use 3 or more patterned papers, stickers (this can be any sticker - puffy, chipboard, or cardstock stickers), trim (washi tape, ribbon, twine, etc.), punches/die-cuts/ephemera, and finishing touches (enamel dots, brads, sequins, bling, splatters, etc.)

Here is a look at the beautiful creations from the design team, starting with our guest designer:

And the rest of the design team:

Introducing December's Guest Designer!

Hello, hello! Happy Saturday to you! I hope all of you that are in the States had a very Happy Thanksgiving and were able to spend time with your family and friends. 

Today we are thrilled to introduce our guest designer for December. The oh-so-talented Jill R will be joining us all month long and sharing her beautiful work with us. Here is a little bit about Jill:

I live in Somerset, Pennsylvania with my husband, our 23-year-old daughter, 14-year-old son, and my little grandson. I am a high school teacher and use scrapbooking as my creative outlet. I have been crafting since I was a child, but in 2003 I fell in love with scrapbooking, and it has become my favorite hobby. Of course, my family photos are always my inspiration for my layouts. In 2010 I started a blog and love participating in all the fun challenges! Thank you Lasting Memories for having me as Guest Designer this month. It is a big honor for me!

You can see more of Jill's beautiful work on her blog - Just Jill.

Our November challenges end tonight at 6 PM EST so be sure to get your layouts linked up! Check back tomorrow when we reveal our last theme for 2022 and our first challenge of the month!

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