Siblings Layout for Lasting Memories #669

Good morning, and happy Sunday to everyone! This month over at Lasting Memories, Sandy challenged us to use up some of our stash, and today's challenge is to create a layout with a title starting with F, M, or S, and use at least three pieces of patterned paper. I chose to scrapbook a photo of my kids hanging out with their bio-sibs as we celebrated my daughter's birthday. We at Lasting Memories would love to have you play along with this or any of our September challenges using a newly created layout, so click here to come check it out. But hurry, because a new round of challenges start next Sunday! Here's my layout:

Recover{y} Layout

Lasting Memories posted a challenge on September 3rd asking us to use a weaving technique, and I started a layout for it two weeks ago, but was not feeling inspired at all until last night. Today I have slowly been working at getting my layout finished and posted, so here it is!

Pattern: Posted on Scrapbook.com but possibly originally from Let's Scrap

Challenges: Let's Craft and Create #199 Paper Strips instead of ribbon (not sure this is what they had in mind, but I used lots of paper strips in my weaving!)
