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!!

Introducing our October Guest Designers

Hello, everyone! Happy Saturday to you!

Today we are announcing our guest designers for October. Both of the lovely ladies joining us for our October challenges have guest designed for us previously, and I know they are going to inspire you again with their beautiful work! Please help us welcome these amazing scrappers!

October GDT Ella

Hi everyone! I'm Ella, which is a polish diminutive from Elisabeth. I come from Poland but have lived near to Ratisbon, Bawaria, Germany with my family since 2006. I have two sons (11 and 16 years old). I love to crochet and knit, and I also draw and paint. I've been interested in scrapbooking and cardmaking since 2016. I think it's some kind of art, too and my painting experience can be helpful in scrapbooking. For me, it's a wonderful way to spend my free time. I invite you to my blog Moje Craftowe Przygody, which means My Crafting Adventures.

October GDT Haven

Hi. My name is Haven, and I am excited to be back as a guest designer with Lasting Memories. I have been hit and miss this past summer with my crafting taking a back seat to some fun adventures. My husband and I celebrated 30 years of marriage this past August with a trip to Hood River, Oregon. I keep telling myself that I will make time to scrapbook, but it's my last child's senior year, so I'll be taking it season to season. When I'm not creating, working, or coaching, I enjoy spending time outdoors. I love Lasting Memories challenges and the inspiration that they provide. Here's to a fabulous Fall. If you would like to see some of my work, you can find me at Haven's Haven.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. We will be back tomorrow with a new theme and the first of five artistic challenges for October!
