I used the paper size requirements for Challenge #753 at  "LASTING MEMORIES".

LM #753 - Size It Up - Challenge 1

Good morning, and welcome to a brand new month of challenges here at Lasting Memories. We are going to get started on the first day with our new theme, so buckle up - here we go!

 Let's have fun with papers this month! Incorporate one of each size paper onto your layout. 

Here are some general guidelines:
• Rectangular strips can be border punched, turned into banners or tags.
• Larger rectangles, circles or squares should be left whole.
• If you'd like to do a double page, use all of the required pieces on one page and then duplicate only those you want on the 2nd page.
• Photos may be matted with additional paper.
• Add your choice of embellishments, titles, journaling, etc.
• You can use scraps or cut pieces out of whole sheets of paper.

LM #753 - Use the following sizes of papers on your layout.

1 - 6 x 12
1 - 8.5 x 11
1 - 6" circle
1- 4 x 10

 I made another layout today using today's "LASTING MEMORIES" #752 Tic-Tac-Toe Board.

It worked out that I actually worked for tic-tac-toe lines.   First I was going for the top row across with 2+ papers, twine or ribbon and Tag.    Then with the addition of 6 rhinestones (on ribbon and on the tags) that works for the right side column,  Tag, Enamel Dots or Rhinestones and Blue

BRRRR

Family Dinner Out

 I don't have a lot of pictures of both of us together where Arthur has a true smile.   He just doesn't like having his picture taken.   So I really like this picture.  We were out to a nice dinner out with his two kids last December when they both came to visit us together in Columbia.  So we celebrated with a dinner out at CC's Broiler, our favorite special restaurant here in town.

This was the perfect picture for me to use this month at "SCRAP-CHALLENGE-YOURSELF" challenge #137-Butterflies.    I have wood veneer butterflies added as embellishments and I also have butterflies on one of the patterned papers that I used.

When making this layout, I chose to use the sketch at "SKETCHES IN THYME" the May 1st sketch this month.

Time with Dad

 

I made this layout for the SCRAPPY FRIENDS May double challenge.     I started with the May sketch at "ROCHELLE SPEARS BLOG" and then the Tic-Tac-Toe board with "SCRAP WITH STACY"

Here's the sketch.

Here's the Tic-Tac-Toe board.  I did the diagonal 3 Photos, Wood Grain & Chipboard.
