LMCB #84 - "Hopping Into Spring"

Hello!! Thank you all for joining us last week at Lasting Memories. It's time for a new challenge and this week we're "Hopping Into Spring" with easter or spring photo's!! I chose to go with Spring photo's. Andrew can't wait to get out on his bike and even in the winter, if it's a warm day and the roads are clean, you'll find him out there. He's always looking up new tricks on YouTube. On this particular day, his buddy Thomas came to hang out and I gave them the camcorder to play with and they had a blast and got some amazing footage. I found the first layout pattern in my CTMH "Reflections" and "Play Hard" is cut from my cricut cartridge 'Geographically Speaking'

Now it's time for you to show us your spring/easter photo's! Hop on over to Lasting Memories and show us your stuff. We can't wait to see what you create this week!!

LMCB #82 - "April Fools!"

It's April Fool's Day and time for a new challenge at Lasting Memories! In honor of April Fool's Day, we thought it would be fun to show you our ‘sneaky’ tricks!!

  Idea’s: hidden journaling, hidden photo’s, hidden tips and tricks

One of my favorite tricks to do is to use CTMH Flip Flaps so that I can add as many photo's to a LO as I want to. See, the first page just looks like there are 2 photo's, when indeed, there are 3!! I love these things!!! I didn't have page protectors on me at the time, so once these are in an album, you attach the flip flap on the OUTSIDE of your PP so you can open it. This is my son, enjoying his favorite hobby - and he's getting better and better at all these tricks he does!!

Now pop on over to Lasting Memories and show us your tips, tricks and sneaky idea's! Can't wait to see what you create this week!!!!
