Lasting Memories Guest Designer Post 1

-
I'm so excited to announce that I get to be a Guest Designer at the Lasting Memories challenge blog for April. This first challenge is called Word Play. And I'll explain that more below. 

I decided to use photos of my daughter and her best friend from when they went to the mall for a shopping spree at Justice! I can't believe she is growing up so fast. I just watched them looking around the store, trying things on, and making purchases like grown ups. Yes, I stuck around - and watched from afar. Not quite ready for the whole drop them off at the mall - at least not two years ago when this was taken. 

The Challenge: Wordplay - Since today is Easter Sunday - use a scrappy item, theme, or technique for every letter in the word "EASTER". Your layout does not have to be Easter-related - it can be about anything. And since there are 2 "E"s you will need to include 2 different "E" items. Here's the link to Lauren's Scrappy Alphabet page if you need some ideas.


My Layout:



E- ephemera "besties"
A- American Crafts photo overlay
S- Simple Stories - paper bow clip
T- thickers - flowers
E- Echo Park - stickers "happiest girls are the prettist girls" and the camera
R- "Remember" title

To Create this layout I used the following:

My Mind's Eye: Lost and Found Market Street paper stack
American Crafts: "Be You" flower thickers
American Crafts: "Colorful" Word sticker
American Crafts: "Confetti" photo overlay
Echo Park: "Just Be You" element stickers - "happiest girls are the prettist girls" and the camera
Simple Stories: "Spring Farmhouse" paper bow clips
Simple Stories: "Kate & Ash" bits and pieces -"Besties"


Now it's  your turn. Head on over to Lasting Memories and upload your project for a chance to win!




Blessings,

War Binder

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder . I looked into this War binder thing a little more closely and decided that that is exactly what I wanted to do with my Planner. I spent a lot of time looking around on FB and Pinterest to get ideas and eventually just decided that I just needed to start it.  I have struggled with making time for Bible Study and prayer ...

Let's Scrap - Friends Forever

Since moving away from my home town I don't get to see my old high school/college friends very often. There was a core group of us that hung out beginning in high school and we are all friends still. The one friend that was responsible for all of us meeting and ultimately becoming friends was getting married. It was so fun to all be back together for an evening. What was also fun was seeing all of our children together. Definitely one of those sentimental moments that needs to be scrapbooked and kept for all time! Let's Scrap has a fantastic sketch up on the blog that was perfect for these pictures. This sketch included a fun element: booklet. At first I had some trouble figuring out how to do this but then it became clear. I hope you enjoy the layout and the booklet as pictured for you below. I decided to use the left side of the layout. And I hope you are inspired to try this fun element on your next layout! The Sketch: My Take (on the left side of the...
