Fishing in the Great Outdoors



Hi everyone I'm back again this week as the Guest Designer here at  "LASTING MEMORIES"
What fun challenges there are this month,  last week was polka dots and now this week its all about
striped paper.  I used the two tone stripe paper from Echo Park Dots and Stripes collection.  I even used part of the tear strip on the page for the left edge of the picture.
I kept it in muted colors and nothing fancy to showcase the picture of my son enjoy his time outside and getting some great fishing in that he loves.  

Here is the link to "LASTING MEMORIES"  have fun this week and all month, can't wait to see what you do with this challenge.

USE STRIPED PATTERNED PAPER ON YOUR LAYOUT.

HELLO FALL


We are going to see our grandkids in St. Louis tomorrow and I always have more layouts ready to take to them whenever we are together here or there.   I went through the stack I had made up and then found these pictures of Addisyn that I hadn't scrapped yet so went to work on getting one last layout made to take with me.

I'm entering them in the double Scrappy Friends Challenges

"THROUGH THE EYES OF ROCHELLE SPEARS CHALLENGE BLOG"
She has this awesome sketch this month that I used.


"SCRAP WITH STACY"
Has a great mood board for November and I was inspired by all the leaves, the fall trees, the pumpkin and all the gold/red/oranges colors of the falling leaves.



One other challenge this layout is great for is "CRAZY HAZELNUT'S PATTERNED PAPERS"

Lunch with Dad



This turned out to be a very simple layout to make, but the simplicity is what I like about it.

Every week when I go visit my Dad we go out to eat.   He isn't ever very hungry but the special this week at one of the places we usually go to was an open face roast beef sandwich, and as soon as he
verified it came with mashed potatoes he wanted it.    For him could have been 3 meals but he loved it.

I used the November sketch at  "LET'S GET SKETCHY"  for this layout.

Here is the sketch I used.

1st ornament



I LOVE Christmas, but this is even a first for me.    We put up our tree yesterday.    I know, crazy isn't it?    It's a pre-lit tree so that is all we did to it yesterday, but today adding some colored lights to the white lights already there and then putting on the ornaments.    

Anyway I got this picture of our cat Rose who immediately climbed into the tree.   She hasn't done this since she was a kitten 6 years ago.   But I'm glad I got the picture because I think it makes a cute layout to start the season.

I used the Nov. 1st sketch #395 at  "SKETCHES IN THYME"  for the layout.

Here is the sketch.

Rainy Day


I'm happy to say I was asked to be a Guest Designer at  "LASTING MEMORIES" for the month of
November.     I'm going to have a lot of fun with the theme this month of Patterned Paper Prints.

Starting off the month the Print is  ----- "Polka Dots"     I used a full sheet of polka dot paper as my background for this one, but you can use as much or as little as you want just so we see those
Polka Dots.

Here is the link to "LASTING MEMORIES".

NOVEMBER THEME - PATTERNED PAPER PRINTS.

This week the print to use is Polka Dots.    Have fun and share your layouts with us and then 
come back next week for the the next print theme.
