Arrows Aplenty

Hi all,

Another week, another challenge at Lasting Memories! This is my second GDT layout for their challenge, this time the challenge is to use lots of hearts or arrows. 
I chose to use plenty of arrows for this layout:


When I saw the theme, I immediately thought of this background paper, which got me thinking about the Simple Stories Instasquares pack that I knew I had in my stash for quite a while but hadn't really used yet. I had a lot of fun trying to incorporate as many arrows, see if you can spot them all ;)

Challenges:
Delicious Doodles (Anything but a Card)
Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends (Anything Goes)
Love to Create (Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes; I've used Distress Inks to stencil the arrows)
Doing Life (Anything Goes)
Crafts Galore (Anything Goes)

If you have an idea how to use lots of hearts or arrows on your layout, why not share it with us? There are more fun challenges for the month of February, so check out the blog and play along if you want!

Snow Review

Hi everyone,

Last year, I participated in a Lasting Memories challenge and based on that they invited me to be their guest designer for 4 weeks, how cool is that! Today the first challenge is up and it was a tricky one! The idea is that you use at least 4 supplies that start with the letters in the word L-O-V-E. I've used Letter stickers, Orange-Red colour, Vellum and Enamel dots. I also dug out some really old snowflake brads I still had in my stash. These pictures are very recent of our daughter's first encounter with snow; she wasn't all that impressed but we got some lovely images! I plan to make another page with photos of all of us.


Challenges
* Fairytale Challenges (Colourful Snowflakes)
* Alphabet Challenge (Winter Walk)
* Kreative Inkauf (Snowflakes)
* If You Give a Crafter a Cookie (Inspiration Cookie; I've used the snow theme and colour scheme)
* Crafter's Cafe (Inspiration Picture; I've used the snow and outdoor theme)
