Guest Designing for Last Memories

Welcome to a special edition of Socially Scrappy but on a Sunday. 

Switching up a bit this week and next to accommodate the honour of being a Guest Designer over at Lasting Memories Layout Challenges. Their challenges go live on Sundays. 

Today’s #LM779 challenge is inspired by a choosing two former 2025 challenges that jumped out at me and combining them into one new challenge. So if you want to play along please use inspiration elements from the top sketch as well as choose a tic tac toe line to incorporate into your design for the little extra double the inspiration double the fun. 

I’ve gotten inky with some retired goodies from my stash to play along. Started with a 12x12 sheet of Vicki Boutin Ready to Use Mixed Media paper. Added in Painted Love Gold foil stickers, White Tea Lace doilies, Love Blossoms embellishment kit, scalloped and regular heart punches, wood ephemera sentiment words, unbranded gold twine and a Beager Acrylic Art Paint Pen in Gold. 

For my traditional 12x12 layout I was inspired by the circle vibe from the original sketch so chose a pretty circle paper from my mixed media pack.  I than decided to go for a full card in Tic Tac Toe challenge - so have metal elements in the foil and paper clip, 2 photos, banners, gold, a doily, wood in my hearts and sentiment, a tag, fussy cut the foil elements on the tag and finished off with some vellum in the banner and heart. 

My coordinating pocket page I used the Swirly Bird stamp set to create some 4x3 DSP and pulled in colours Azure Afternoon, Pretty and Pink and Lemon Lolly to coordinate with the Vicki Boutin Mixed Media 12x12 page starter. And pulled in some of the wooden hearts, gold foil and a doily. Left room for 3 photos. 

Please pop over to Lasting Memories to see what all the other designers have created for inspiration and if you want to play along add your project to the linky tool on the bottom of the #LM779 Lasting Memories blog post! 

Happy Scrappin’
