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!!

LM 3790 - Stash Busters Word Play - LUCKY

Good morning, everyone, and thanks for stopping by to check out this week's challenge. We feel so lucky to be a part of  your scrappy world! This is Jill, and this month we're working on clearing some items out of our stash by using some word play. I will give you a word, and you need to use an item from your stash for each letter in the word on your layout. Today's word has some hard letters, so we will be in awe if you find something other than yellow for "Y!"

LM #790 - Use an item from your stash for each letter in the word LUCKY.

Here are the layouts from the design team, starting with our guest designer.

L - Letters, U - Umbrella die cut, C - Chipboard, K - Knitting pattern paper, Y - Yellow pearls, sequins and cardstock
