New Lasting Memories Challenge!

Happy Sunday, everyone!  It's time again for another Lasting Memories Layout Challenge!  For this week, ANYTHING GOES!!!  The design team was given an digital stamp of our choosing from Tiffany Doodles to use on our layouts this week (Thanks, Tiffany!), so I chose the "Lily Stems with Oval" digi.  Here's my layout for this week:

I used the April GDT Challenge sketch at Sketchy Thursdays for this layout, and I'll also be using entering it in the Scrappin' 'n' Chattin' monthly challenge.  The patterned paper is Gigi Stripe by Glitz Design (double-sided), and the title is Thickers white glitter letter stickers.  I used Martha Stewart's loops border punch on the large polka-dotted paper, and I added some Stickles in Fruit Punch to make the lily on the digital stamp pop out a little.

Now, ON TO THE CHALLENGE!!!  For this week's challenge, YOU'RE THE BOSS!  We want to see your unique style on this week's entry.  Again, our sponsor this week is Tiffany Doodles, and she's offered some GREAT prizes!  Our first prize winner this week will receive 5 digis from Tiffany; second prize wins 3 digis, and third prize wins 2 digis.  How awesome is THAT?!?!?  You have until Saturday, March 12 (MY BIRTHDAY!!!!) @ 9pm EST to link your layout at Lasting Memories.  So get started on those entries!  We can't WAIT to see your style!!!

P.S.  I ALMOST forgot!  Be sure to come back and visit my blog on Saturday, March 12.  I'll be giving away some BLOG CANDY for my birthday!!!!!!

Lasting Memories weekly layout challenge

Happy Sunday, everyone!  It's time for a new layout challenge at Lasting Memories Layout Challenges!  For this week's challenge, you need to follow this sketch:

Here's my take:

These pictures were taken shortly after my husband received the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal at Camp Pendleton, California, in 2007.  I was so proud and honored to be able to attend the ceremony!  The medal and award ribbons on the layout are the actual awards my husband received that day; the paper is K & Company, and the stickers are from Creative Imaginations Signature Collection.

I hope you'll decide to join us this week!  You have until Saturday, 5 March, at 9 p.m. EST to submit your layout.  Check us out at Lasting Memories for some great inspiration from the other design team members.  We can't WAIT to see what you create this week!!!

BLOG CANDY WINNER!!!

I apologize--yet again!--for being late in announcing my blog candy winner from last week's Lasting Memories Layout Challenges challenge!  What with being in Boston last week, getting back late Monday, and having to take my husband to the doctor yesterday and physical therapy today, things have just been CRAAAAZY!!!  There were five people who both left comments on my blog AND played along with last week's challenge.  I entered numbers 1 through 5 into random.org, and it chose number 3!  Looking back at the comments, comment number 3 of those who played along belongs to Teenabugg38!  Here's the comment she left:

Party Time Tuesdays new challenge--ANYTHING GOES!!!

Hi, everyone!  I apologize for being late in posting my card for this week's Party Time Tuesdays challenge!  I was in Boston, Massachursetts, last week, and it just seems like I'm having a hard time getting back in the swing of things since I got back.  ANYWAY!  Here's my card for this week:

Our sponsor for this week's challenge is Glitterbabe!  Stef is offering two digital stamps to this week's winner!  All of her stamps come in JPG format and also come with a colored image.  The PTT Design Team was lucky enough to get to work with Stef's stamps, and I chose this LOVELY rose!  It's so versatile and can be done in so many colors!!  My sentiment, "Thinking of You," is from a clear stamp I received not too long ago from one of the ladies in my Yahoo group, Scrappin' 'n' Chattin'.

This week's challenge at PTT is ANYTHING GOES!!!  Any color, any image, any sketch, any design!  We'd LOVE to see what you've got for us!  You still have FIVE MORE DAYS to get your entry submitted!  Please come on over and play along with us at Party Time Tuesdays!
