Lasting Memories 514 - Royal

514 - Royal 

UK - England and the UK are filled with history and traditions. The love and loyalty to their Royal Family are based on Faith and Culture. So this week I would like to challenge you with a throwback family theme. Something the symbolises History to you and your family.
Maybe it's the King / Queen in your life or the Prince / Princess that makes you smile every day. Or maybe there is a special family Matriarch that has pasted that you would like to remember and pay tribute to you.

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

Filled with love

Masterpiece

This layout features a photo of my Nan with her children..
My uncle on the left, my aunty in the middle and my Dad on the right..
A true Angel on Earth! I can not fault this woman... Although she has passed, I still think about her everyday.. And the emotions are still far too roar when I feel like I still need her! She was the blessing that kept us all together...

This beautiful Uniquely Creative  - English Boutique collection range suited to match in with this photo so perfectly, it's like the designers knew exactly what I wanted the range for.. lol

Using a white cardstock base, I layered and matted everything on a soft grey piece of cardstock.. 

I grabbed the cute leaf swirl that came with the range also and an old doily diecut they released a while ago too.. It all fit so well, I just couldn't go past it! 

 

To finish it off, I made up clusters.. Yes, I know we are suppose to work in odd numbers, I don't always follow the rules...lol.. The super cool Sizzix wreath diecut that I got a couple months ago and now can't stop using! lol ..

 Plus some Prima flowers, Kaiser flowers and 49 Market flowers + dots.. 

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 the Lasting Memories Design Team! 

I really hope that you will drop by the blog and check out the inspiration from the rest of the team members and then get creative to link up your own entry.. There is plenty of options for this challenge theme, please join us in celebrating someone special..  

Thanks again, Toni.. xoxo

White With One - Mandarin

YAY Spring has finally hit ya'll!!
This means slightly warmer days and the most beautiful weather that central Qld has to offer and of course some of the most lovely citcus fruits you'll ever have.. We have so many Mandarin trees around here, that it was quite exciting to see this challenge when it was released to us as DT members.. 
We have an interesting mood board to use as inspiration also, I can't wait to see what you all do with this! 

 

WHITE WITH ONE - CHALLENGE BLOG

# favourite

Welcome back.... YAY September is my favourite month to get back outside and be a part of nature again.. So I wanted to share a page with you for this DT featuring my gorgeous boys at a stunning local fresh water hole in here in central Qld.. 

During the covid iso, I was watching loads of live streaming crafters and learning all sorts of techniques... I watched loads but didn't get to join in many as I really just enjoyed the relaxing experience of coming up with new ideas that I would probably never have time to use anyway.. lol ..

So finally, I was able to put some new ideas to use and have focused on creating my own background with some inks, blending brushes and stencils for this one.. 

The mandarin colour absolutely pops off the page and with the black, white and clear elements add to the eyes craving the colour without becoming overwhelmed.. 

There really isn't much else to this page. I added some die cuts and scribbles with the pens - that's about it... but wow, do I love this!! It actually turned out better than I had imagined... and as crafters, we know how rarely that happens.. lol

What do you think?

Lasting Memories 513 - travel

Lasting Memories 513 - travel

This month we would like to celebrate the wonders of the world and celebrate different cultures. So please come along each week and let us guide you on this journey.

To begin our challenges this month we will have an easy one. We want to see layering of words. Title + Sub Title + Journaling. Plus we would like to see the word TRAVEL within the Title or Sub Title.

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

When in doubt TRAVEL
Collect Memories, not things
plus there is journaling in the tag next to the title.. 

I am loving this "New Adventures" collection from Couture Creations...
It comes with a huge range of corresponding stamps and die cuts with it.. I think I bought one or two of everything with it was released in June... lol

This was actually a very easy layout to put together.. I don't have a heap to tell you about it.. 

I tore the top piece and middle piece, stuck to the base.. 

Fussy cut some flowers and cut out the dies, then layered with a bunch of ephemera already cut out.. 

The tag between the the photo and the title has journaling on it about the huge over 12 hour day of travelling (cars and planes) the day this photo was taken.. lol

Although my "TRAVEL" words aren't layered on top of each other, there are two titles and journaling included in this layout.. 

What do you think?

Lasting Memories 512 - Special occasion (Christmas)

512 - Christmas

Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

Joy to the World

Righto..... This one..... man, did I love this one crafters!!

I really wish I could give you all a 3D view of this baby.. 

The photo was taken at the White Christmas evenings that the Movie World theme park hold each year.. My boys and I LOVED it!!  During an exclusive access dinner, we were able to have photos with loads of Christmas themed characters.. There is a "Fairy Land" section at the park for Christmas, so the Fairies came for a photo op visit too... Boy didn't I jump up quick for a photo.. I didn't even ask my kids if they wanted a photo too... nope nope, step aside, Mummies turn!! 

\

The photos just don't do it justice!

The layers are something even I thought I had outdone myself with.. haha.. 

Truthfully though, I would have loved to have been able to make them higher.. I was careful and used restraint with how high they ended up.. 

Using papers from the Scrapboys - Winter Cotton collection, I actually cut a 12x12 piece almost in half and then stick it end to end in the middle.. So instead of the reindeer being on the bottom of the paper, it's now in the middle.. 

Then came lots of fussy cutting! A full sheet of frames was randomly placed under the photo.. plus half of the designed fussy cut sheet pieces were slipped between the layers to add the dimension.. Of course I couldn't go past that awesome new Uniquely Creative doily diecut that I recently picked up.. It cuts so perfectly!! darn thing to clean out though.. haha.. 

Finally some super cut washi strips finished it all off.. 

What do you think?

White With One - Lemon Bliss

We've had a sunshine shortage lately here in central Qld.. It's out, but darn it's still too cool for my likings.. lol  Glad that it starts to warm up again this month and we find our way knocking on the door for Spring.. 
So this month, we would love to challenge you to use a cool Lemon Bliss colour and of course the sketch too if you wish.. 

  

WHITE WITH ONE - CHALLENGE BLOG

COOL

Such a FUN layout! 

So bright and makes this photo pop.. 

Firstly I started off with some yellow misting spray, just to give the back a texture element to catch the eye behind the layers.. I dug into my stash to find this awesome yellow tissue paper, as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to use this as a featured base piece behind the photos.. Then a yellow & white stripped pocket in the back, holds my journal tag.. 

To add the layers and flow to the layout, I put down some stars and a couple of other embellishments to complete the look..  The scribbling though was just a stroke of genies on my behalf of course... haha... It didn't quite feel finished, but added that just gave me that "ahhhh yep done" feeling.. :)

Lasting Memories - 508 - sketch - flawless

#508 - Sketch
Final sketch this month to reach the end of the month.. I LOVED working with this one! 

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

flawless

I truly have no words for just how beautiful this young lady is.. And WOW how much fun it is being able to create using Ella's photos are such a pleasure.. I am very lucky that I have friends that will allow me to use their daughters to feature on girly layouts when I need.. 

This layout uses the Uniquely Creative - Urban Garden collection, It is made from one patter paper piece. Torn just over half way and flipped.. The embellishments are all fussy cut from the collection sheet.. I did add some pretty pink roses from my stash and some gold sploshes on the background to highlight the gold glitter on El's face in the photos.. Such a lovely boho beach theme... I really can't get enough of these photos!!! 

I was so happy to get a Canon Selphy for Mother's Day back in May and have used it a few times now to quickly print off photos... It's great cause it means I can scrap the photos I actually WANT to scrap instead of either wasting time going to the shops and waiting, ordering online and waiting or just using whatever I have instead... This printer is a real game changer for me and let's me set the photos up first.. 

What do you think?
