Our final theme for 2014 at Lasting Memories is 'Anything Goes' with a holiday twist. A nice easy challenge to end the year ~ great timing too, considering so many of us are occupied with other goings-on at this time of year and may not get a lot of scrappy time.
This is my final DT reveal for Lasting Memories. I have decided to step down from the design team to make room for some new adventures in 2015. I am grateful for the wonderful opportunity I was given to share my layouts with a wider audience of scrapbookers throughout the year After such a long break from scrapbooking, it was just the motivation I needed to jump back in with both feet! I enjoyed getting to know some of the other designers, and I hope that some of my creations have inspired others to get scrapping too.
It's been a few months since I joined in at Jot magazine for the mood board challenge. I really loved the current one; I was especially inspired by the warm, neutral colour palette.
I knew straight away that I wanted to use a kraft background, and I toned down the saturation of my photographs to keep with the theme too. I liked the idea of using a wide ribbon, and I also made my own holly embellishment:
I'm also submitting at Unstampabelles for their Summer Fun challenge. I done half a twist too ~ Southern Hemisphere Christmas
