LMCB #128 - Playful Pockets!

Hello! Happy Sunday! It's time for a new challenge at Lasting Memories. Our challenge this week is ..

"Playful Pockets"

We want to see pockets on those LO's this week! This is what I created at our last retreat. I worked on my cottage album and I just have to have the kids fill in the pocket tags with a memory (or 2) as well as hubby and I and it'll be complete. 

We'd love to have you join us this week and look fwd to your "playful pockets"!

I love these "Anything Goes" Challenges because it leaves it wide open to what we want to create and the DT does some awesome stuff! Make sure you check them out! I decided to show you another of my LO's from our Cottage vacation this past August. That photo of Andrew's friend with his 'big catch' makes me laugh every time!! Just click to enlarge - although it won't help enlarge the 'big catch' lol!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great wknd!

Pop on over and see what we came up with - we'll be linking up and on Monday you'll have Monday Mojo all in one post. Here's what I came up with .. 

I'm working on photo's from our cottage vacation this past summer. I love to do 2 pg LO's so of course, I always have the very first page to struggle with - I made a title page for my album!! This was so fun. I had 2 pc's of the same paper, so I cut blocks off one and popped them up on this so I had more jouralling room!! LOVE it! Come on over and show off your "Naked LO's"!! Can't wait to see all that creativity this week!!

LMCB #92 - "Sweatin' To The Oldies!"

Better late than never, right? Here's my LO for this weeks challenge at Lasting Memories where we're "Sweatin' To The Oldies" with a twist! It has to be a summer song from the 50's to the 70's!! I found these pics from a cottage vacation my sister and her family took our kid's on a few yrs ago and thought it was perfect and the song that immediately popped in my head (because of the title) was "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay" - written by Otis Redding and Steve Cropper - lyrics as recorded by Otis Redding December 7, 1967, just three days before his death in a plane crash outside Madison, Wisconsin - #1 for 4 weeks in 1968 

Here's my LO done completely digital using My Memories Suite

Now hop on over to LM and have a peek at what the DT came up with, they ROCKED this challenge! Come on over and join the fun and show off those LO's for a chance to win a CTMH stamp!!

Summertime Friends

Evening friends! Michele on my LMCB DT told me I should check out this new challenge blog called "Paper Lovin' Gals" AND they're having a DT call, which Michele told me about to! So, this is my entry for this weeks challenge. Can you believe it took me 10-15 min's to put this together!? And NO mess! LOVE it! Yes, another MyMemories digi layout! This was a couple summers ago, might even be 3 now that I think about it, Ashleigh and Briana at a friend's cottage. We spent the wknd and the girl's were inseparable. The days of summer huh? Have a great evening!!
