In Black and White

The challenge this week at Lasting Memories is to use only the colors black and white on your layout, including the picture. We'd love to have you play along. You have until Saturday September 17th 9:00PM EST.

I love using old pictures, seeing how the styles changed.  This is of my aunt's wedding in 1952.

Items used:  cardstock from Target
Glimmer mist in marshmallow
Mini round gems from recollections
title from the Tie the Knot cricut cartridge
black flowers and white gems from imaginisce
white flowers from the dollar store - lei

This layout is based on the sketch at Stuck?!  I turned the sketch to fit the pictures of my niece's daughters.

Fairy Tale Wedding page 2

This is the second page of Fairy Tale Wedding. I used the sketch from Frosted Designs and  turned it 90 degrees since my pictures were landscape.

This is the left side of a two page layout from my friend's wedding. Her colors were lemon and lime. I used the sketch from Sketchabilities.

This layout is based on the sketch at Sassy Lil' Sketches. It's the second page for my grandson's birthday. And yes, my daughter is on two phones at once. LOL

This layout is based on the sketch and instructions given on the Yahoo group Scrappin-n-Chattin for the Monthly Layout Challenge. It also meets the challenge of using a Birthday Theme and a banner for The Paper Variety. 

Exciting News

I have some exciting news - I'm a new design team member on Lasting Memories, a simply awesome challenge blog that's all about layouts. 

This week, it's all about "Simply You" ... can be your style, you personally, something you love .. just "Simply You". Super easy, super fun!!! But guess what!! We have a sponsor this week!!! My Memories is offering up a copy of their latest digital scrapbooking software!!

My "Simply You" layout is a very simple layout, paper (from DCWV Trade Winds stack) a photo of me (at least 25 years ago), gold colored title and journaling. But it's also about me because my love of family history is what lead me to scrapbooking and now I enjoy spending time doing both.

Be sure to check out all the inspiration at Lasting Memories and join the fun.
