Pin the Bow on the Cat Layout for Lasting Memories #678

Good morning everyone, and welcome back to the latest challenge for Lasting Memories. It has been fun to be the hostess this month, and here's my last challenge. Grateful for Words - use one of the following journaling techniques on your layout: a list, 50+ words, on a journaling card, digital or hidden. I chose to go with a journaling card on this one, and after searching through my stash, I found one I thought went well with the layout. Hope you think so, too, and are inspired to hop on over to Lasting Memories to play along with any of our Scrappy Gratitude challenges before the clock runs out on Saturday, December 2!

Scoop the Poop Layout

For my daughter's cat themed birthday party, we came up with a variety of the games, including this one for the kids to scoop the poop (chocolate candies) out of the kitty litter (rice). To be honest, I probably found the idea on the internet, but the kids loved it, so thanks to whoever dreamed up the idea. I found a poop emoji on the internet and traced it to create a hand made embellishment to add to my layout.

EMS Sketch Challenge #111 - Everybody Wants to Be a Cat

I haven't posted a new sketch since May, but as I was working with one of my older sketches, it kept morphing until it didn't look that much like the original, so I decided to create a new sketch based on my layout! You won't need a ton of patterned paper for this one, but even with four photos there is room to get creative and have some fun. As always, feel free to change things up a bit and please post a link to your completed layouts in the comments so I can enjoy how you used the sketch.

Here's the sketch:

Scrapping photos from my daughter's cat themed birthday party has been a rather hodgepodge affair, so this layout actually goes before the one I posted on Sunday and after the one I posted in August. I think I am now in chronological order, though, so it's all good. The title for this layout was based on the song from the Aristocats, but I decided to keep the second "e" in "Ev'rybody" since it looked better on my layout. Anyway, here's my layout:

Posing Layout for Lasting Memories #676

Happy Sunday, everyone. It's time for another challenge over at Lasting Memories, and this time I asked everyone to show their appreciation for stamps and stickers by including two or more of either on a layout. I usually am all about the stamps, but I had purchased a cute cat themed kit for scrapping my daughter's cat birthday party, so I decided to use the stickers from that. Feel free to hop on over to Lasting Memories and join us for any of the November challenges before December 2!
