Spring Walk

 Spring is here and while we wait for all the pretty flowers to bloom, we like to take walks around different 

towns to see what they have going on.  Here are my daughter and I in Naperville at the Riverwalk checking out the decorated BUGS all over.

This week at Lasting Memories, we are still playing along with the Design Teams favorite sketches

Here is one of Jill's favorites for challenge #748:

Love the multi photos and the hexagons.  Inspired me to dust off my Creative Memories punches and start using some of the new hexagon enamel shapes.

Stop by the blog and see what else the Design Team has put together at Lasting Memories!

Beautiful - Homecoming 2024

 Hello there!  Today I would like to share a page I made for the Lasting Memories Design Team - April challenge #746. 

We were tasked with sharing one of our favorite sketches to work with - I have had this sketch saved on Pinterest for years and always come back to it.

                                        

I love the "girly" feel of this sketch - using the swirls and the different flowers.

It certainly reminds me of the HUGE stash of flowers and bling that I have!  I really need to use more of it and this sketch is a great incentive.  

This sketch has been used for many homecoming and prom pictures for my daughters, and now I can use it for my son and his girlfriend.

I  die cut a couple of small frames to add some flowers.

The larger pink flowers are all from 49 and Market and the smaller ones are from Recollections.

Here are some close up pictures of the bling and the flower clusters:

I am sure everyone has had a sketch that they have used multiple times.

Be sure to share your sketches and ideas at the Lasting Memories blog this month!

Here is my page:

I used up lots of scraps and older stash.

LOVE these Big Brads!
