Our "Scrappy" Friends!

Welcome!

Hello fellow scrapbookers!!! Welcome to "Lasting Memories" which is all about LAYOUTS!! Yes, JUST layouts! There are no cards allowed here. We have weekly themed challenges, but you have the whole month to get in on the fun! Our challenges begin each Sunday at 8am EST and all 4 challenges will end on the date listed on the sidebar at 6pm EST. At month's end, we will choose a GDT to join us for a month! Only one entry per challenge, and no back-linking is allowed since we would love to know that we "challenged" you. We look forward to challenging you and helping you get your pages completed!

Specialized Hosting Sites

A lot of crafters use specialized hosting sites that not all of us have access to. We just wanted to let you know that if we don't comment, it's because we don't have access - but we see your work here at LM and appreciate your taking the time to link up and show off your style!!

Thursday Features!

Hello!! How's everyone doing??? Getting back into routines etc .. I personally find it's time to get back at it once the summer holiday's are done. My son has moved out and is starting his 2nd yr University today and daughter started Gr 10 on Sept 1. Change is always good but having son move out tugged on those heart strings like you have no idea!! Super proud of them though!!

On that proud note, we have some awesome inspiration to share with you today from our September challenges!
