Lasting Memories Challenge-Try Something New!

Good Morning! I am really excited about this week's challenge at Lasting Memories! It is to try something new! I think we all have things that we want to try out but never get around to, or things we have bought that we haven't used! Well that is what I have done for my layout. I have always loved die cut papers and ages ago I bought a pack of Silhouettes by K&Co. and have never used them. I have pulled them out a few times, then felt a bit unsure so put them back again!! I have also tried something else today, I really like it when people use quotes on their pages, but I have never tried it. So in the spirit of trying new things I have added a quote on my page! 

So, what new thing are you going to try? Don't forget that this month Lasting Memories have a design team call, if you want to get involved head over to Lasting Memories to see how to apply!

I can't believe I haven't posted anything all week!!

I can't believe that it is Friday already!! And I haven't done a post all week!! Well, I am making up for it today! This week my son has had a swimming crash course so we have been at the swimming pool every day this week, while he has been having his lesson I have taken my daughter swimming in the learner pool. It has been a great week-although it hasn't left much time for crafting. This morning I let my son have a TV morning. He was really tired from all the lessons so he needed a bit of rest, and I sat at my table making cards and doing some scrapbooking for a couple of hours-which was FAB!!

So here are my cards-

For Die Cuttin' Diva's challenge this week it is to use fruit or veg- I have used From My Kitchen to make this card. The paper is from DoCraft, the button is American Crafts.

 The next card is for Throw Back Thursday challenge to use a retired cartridge. I have used the Elephant from Zooballoo. The paper and buttons are from Papermania, the greeting is from a Honey & Hugs set. I used a Fiskars punch for the bottom of the card.

 And finally I made a card for Cricut Cardz Challenge to make a Thank you card using a heart, and not pink or red. I have used Doodlecharms. The paper is again Papermania. The punch is XCut and the stamp is from a Honey & Hugs set.

Hello, well, it's Sunday again, which means another Lasting Memories Challenge. I love being on the Lasting Memories Design Team, not only do I get to work with some talentled Scrappers, but I also am getting loads of pages done!!

This week's challenge is a sketch and also to use buttons. Buttons are my all time favourite!! I have loads of them, and they are on almost every page I do!!

The paper I have used is from Papermania and so it the embossing folder. I have used Create A Critter to cut out the phrase and the hippo. This is one of my favourites on the cartridge! I cut the tag from Once Upon A Princess.

Travel Notebooks

Hello, over at Cricut 360 the challenge is transportation, with it being holiday time!! I have wanted to make notebooks for my kids for our holiday later on in the year and this was just the motivation I needed to get them done! I have used some exercise books and cover them with some paper from We R Memory Keepers. I have used Destination Cartridge. I wanted my kids to have a notebook that they can draw and write in while we are away and stick in anything that find and want to keep while we are on holiday. It will give them something to do while we are driving around France.
