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!!

For some reason, I woke up at 5am during our vacation to the lake.  I sat on the dock and watched the sunrise.  I knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be, living in the moment.

LM #225 - Life's Lessons

Hi all! Karen here with this weeks challenge! This week we are challenging you to create a layout with the theme "A Life's Lesson" we can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge. Here's our Jan GDT, Maja's take on it!

And here's some more awesome inspiration from our DT! Being that we are a larger team now, we've broken into 2 teams, so this week it's team A's team to show off - but we have a few from Team B who wanted to get in on the fun too!!


Always wear your seatbelt properly!

Life lesson: Leave it (hairdressing) to the pros..... My daughters after being caught red handed with the scissors, right - their very own hairdos, left my attempt to fix....

My son learned something today that upset him; he learned about the role of a bait fish.  It was difficult for my innocent little boy to understand.
