Design Team Lasting Memories: L.M. :766

 

Good Morning all.

I hope your warmer then we are here in Australia, an Artarctic blast of cold air is hitting us now.  Freezing weather with snow to hit highlands areas across several states. Thank heavens we are by the sea, but that wind is very cold.

As we approach Spring and a new month. Lasting Memories is bringing us a new challenge and its all about "Pattern Paper"

Lasting Memories

This week we are using ,"Polka Dots" somewhere on your layout.

I have used purple polka dots on my photo mat and also as a 10" square on my page.

I hope you find some inspiration from my layout and will come join in this week's challenge at "Lasting Memories.

 Morning all

Another week has passed us by, which means my renovation are one step away from being completion.

Craft room joinery installed Monday, touch up paint, cutting down of doors , some grouting and installation of my stove. I think they will all be tripping over each over to get it done Monday. 

Cleaner coming Tuesday to clean paint and plaster dust off places they shouldn't be.  Next step is unpacking everything and finding homes for it all.

The challenge this week at Lasting Memories

LastingMemories

Brought to you by Design Team Member Wendy : Stash busting: Use Glitter, Sequins or  Beads on your page.

You can use all three or pick just one

To say the least none of these are my favourite things to use. 

I have chosen glitter, there was glitter on the page when I put the  container down, I also added Kindy Glitz  to the bow and butterfly and sequins to the flowers

I went to get the glitter container not realising there was a hole in the container.  Well I now have glitter across my brand new flooring in two rooms plus all over my slippers. Its now time to clean it all up. I can't blame the great grandson for adding to my clean up. Off to find a new container to put them on

I do hope my page gives you some inspiration.

A cold front is coming through from the Antarctic  bring wind gust and much cooler temperature. Its just in time for the snow season which opens in two weeks.

  Morning all,

Last Friday night at a Craft and chat session I have completed the card Sketch challenge from  Craftin' round the World Challenges. I can tick off another one complete.

Great Grandson has decided my corner rounder is his, the punch I used did not  quite punch the page not sure if the paper was too thin or I need to sharpen it with some aluminium foil, or the last option is buying a new one

Craftin' round the World Challenges have four different challenges per month

A Scrapbooking Sketch

A card sketch 

Tic-tack-toe challenge

OPEN THEME: which can be a journal page, card, ATC or a scrapbook page. The choice is yours

My first choice was to have a go at the card sketch, I thought as I had not used the papers from my Uniquely Creative monthly subscription from last year, I would start off using these.

Why no join the fun and have a go at one of the challenges either using the inlinkz  at

This month at Lasting Memories we are playing Tic -Tack-Toe. So many choices up, down, across, and bottom to top.

I have chosen the middle row top to bottom. Two photos, Doily and Fussy cutting.

I chose some material doilies I had in my stash to go underneath the focal point. I cut each one in half, so I had enough. Fussy cut the Hot Air Balloon and the spray of flowers. Used a 6" x 4" photo and a 2" x 3" photo

Morning all

Autum has set in; Love the cool morning and with daylight saving finishing I like the early dark night.

It's been a while since I posted. My life has been turned upside down in the last six month and its slowly returning to a new normal. My husband of 50 plus years has passed away after a short illness, I have sold our house and moved into a granny flat at one of the Grandchildren houses. 

This has been the first layout I have completed since his passing.  Love using flowers.

The challenge for Lasting Memories this week is to use the sketch and bash your Flower stash

although here in Australia its Autum, flowers do definitely brighten your day. I think I did go a bit overboard with mine

Why not join the challenge this week at Lasting memories and try the sketch

  Hello, hello! 

Last week of physio, thank heavens, I  will still kept the exercises up at home.

The weather has been very unpredictable with a couple of seasons in  day. rained overnight but a lovely Spring afternoon

Not much time this week to get much done .

At the Lasting Memories Challenge Blog! We are celebrating fall with all things autumn. For this week's challenge, we are taking our inspiration from the HARVEST. Find inspiration in the growing crops by using ascending sizes of paper strips or shapes. Or create a colourful ombre design to symbolize the growth. 

Completed this week's Inspiration on Tuesday, probably not Autumn colours  but the green to me represents new growth and the purple reminds me of th colours of Autumn leaves. Cutting strips of paper for the ascending for the growth of crops.
