Design Team Lasting Memories Challenge #724 "AUTUM' Team A

 

  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.

Why not come and join in the challenge over at

This collection is very bright and full of flowers

 Team Member Brandi is bringing you this month’s challenge theme. 

This week’s challenge is “Colours of the Rainbow” 

Four year old’s worlds are often very colourful - they’re learning all about the colours of the rainbow. As scrap bookers, colour is a big part of our world too!

 This week’s challenge is to use at least FOUR different colours on your layout.

Design Team 20th January "Smile"

 Morning all

This is my first page as part of the Design Team for Cookin Up Creations with a Theme of "Out with the Old and in with the New" since last year. Happy to be back

I have chosen to use some of my old paper "Kaisercaft"  Keepsake Collection , I was surprise it was in the old drawer as it was one single piece with a hole cut in it, plus a sticker sheet. Most of thoes pieces I thought had gone to the local kindergarten when I shifted. plus the photo frame

So out with the old and  in with the New I used a piece of Close to my Heart "Hope and Kindness" which was given to me for Mothers Day last May, but it was the last collection other than my kits I received or purchased , as that is when i broke my fingers and since have not scrapped.

I hope you like this plain and simple piece
