Lasting Memories Challenge #38

This weeks challenge over at Lasting Memories is this great sketch with a circle theme.


The page is of a lunch at White Spot the day before my wedding.  My cousin and I grew up with their milk shakes and pirate pack kids meals.  Since both of our husbands to be are from non-Canadian families they missed out on the childhood fun. 



Check out the Lasting Memories blog for more inspiration and to play along with this weeks challenge.

Scrapbook Challenges and

Again I combined two challenges into one layout.  They colour and embellishment inspiration came from the Scrapbook Challenges crop prompt photo shown below.  I combined it with sketch #119 from The Scrappiest.



A couple of work friends and I often have "Finer Things Club" meeting (all you fans of The Office should appreciate this).  This is one they had to give me a gift before my wedding.  They are so sweet!

Another One for Lasting Memories

This is my second submission for this weeks Lasting Memories challenge.  I already completed my DT layout so this is just my normal entry.  I actually initially did this for my DT entry before I came up with my other little stroke of creativity found here.

Cherry & Vanilla

I was exciting to play along with The Scrappiest blog when I saw this sketch.  It just looked like so much fun.


These photos are of my husband and his best friend.  They both happened to grow moustaches at the same time and were feeling like such rebels they wanted to do a bad ass photo shoot.  Unfortunately even the addition of beer and cigars couldn't save this.  It didn't turn out very bad ass at all. The title on the page is cherry and vanilla because those are the flavours of cigars they bought...I thought it was the epitome of not bad ass.




I had so much fun with this page and I'm happy with how it turned out.  Check out The Scrappiest post for Sketch 118!

Featured at Scrapbook Challenges

I got featured of at Scrapbook Challenges for my Fondue layout.  It's funny because I struggled with scrapbooking this photo for so long.  I'm glad the layout turned out so well and it feels great to be recognized.


Check out the Featured Photos page at Scrapbook Challenges.

Gift Opening

I did this layout to show the gift opening after our wedding.  I was amazed by how generous everyone was and it was such a fun this to look forward to after the wedding.


I divided this page into two sections because we did a gift opening with each of our different families.  The left side is my family and the right side is his...or I guess both sides are both of our families.

Lasting Memories Challenge #37

This weeks challenge at Lasting Memories is a photo inspiration for mother's day.  Unfortunately I don't have any new pictures of my mom to scrap for this one but I did use the colour scheme from this photo.

I love the colours in this photo because they are so feminine so I made girly layout of me and my cousin last spring.  I used this Scrapbook Challenges sketch I found on their last blog hop.
