The Perfect Tree Layout for Lasting Memories #730

It's time for the final challenge of 2024 over at Lasting Memories, and it gave me a chance to look back over the year and pick out a LM challenge that I didn't complete because I ran out of time. There were a couple of challenges I could have selected, but I settled on LM #717, a color inspiration board. The colors are great for a non-traditional Christmas layout, and they went really well with my photos, so it seemed a perfect match. I pulled out one of the sketches I created for Splitcoast Stampers and an old KI Memories Christmas paper pack to complete this layout. Now it's your turn! If you have a favorite Lasting Memories challenge you want to play along with again, or maybe you missed the deadline for another challenge, please join us this month by clicking the link above.
