LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

Welcome back to my next DT reveal for Lasting Memories.. I am so overwhelmed by the response I had from my last layout I have actually decided to keep the flow of the papers going for this one. 

This time I have used a photo of my boys enjoying the nearby "Upper Stony Creek" in the State Forrest. This is one of the most spectacular and naturally beautiful fresh water places our area has to offer. It is quite popular with the locals and let's be honest, with all the swimming and sports my children do, an "everyday outdoor activity" for us is very similar to this! lol.. 

Again I used the papers for layers from the Kaiser "Hide & Seek" collection. The outside boarder of this layout though has some modelling paste to add that surprising yet subtle element. 

The chipboard pieces are from Celebr8... These I have only just discovered over the last few months and have to admit to LOVING them!!!   The frames are actually the outside of the chipboard pieces that keep it all together, so they aren't really supposed to be used. Just cut off the design piece and throw these scraps away, but no no, not me!! I get such a feeling of accomplishment being able to use up as much as I can and waste little.. 

I left my title "blessed" natural but did heat emboss the } bits with Gold powder to match in with the paper tones and colours. 

I used tearing and different sizes of scraps for the layering to really give it dimension and a sense of character. It's a "boys" layout, so really wanted to make sure if hat that feel. The photo is quite large 8"x10"  which fits perfect for this layout design. 

What do you think?

 Thank you very much for joining me today and I'm so excited to be able to share with you all the creations for my first month back joining the Lasting Memories Design Team!
