Bath TIme Layout for Lasting Memories #741

It's Sunday again, so that means Lasting Memories' challenge time. I'm hosting this month and focusing on circles, so this week's challenge is to create a circular page border using punched or die-cut circles. I used two really old scrapbooking kits from Stampin' Up to Scrapbook these old photos of my two sons in the tub when they were little ones. Reusing my sketches is also something fun to do, so I rotated this month's sketch to the left and used the wreath circle instead of a big circle. Hope you are inspired to  join us for this or any of the other circle challenges over at Lasting Memories this month!

Recipe:

EMS Sketch Challenge #119 + Lasting Memories #740 + 1st Mission Layout

It's a new month and time for a new sketch. I had a dual purpose in creating this one. I am also hosting the March challenges over at Lasting Memories with a theme of Going in Circles, and my challenge this week is to add a circle with journaling on it to your layout. With this sketch, you can use a big circle in the background, plus add a smaller circle for the journaling. I actually cut a circle out of the floral paper and backed it with the black, so now I have a big circle in that darling floral paper that I can save to use on another layout - win win! Feel free to use the sketch (share in the comments below so I can see it) and/or play along with us at Lasting Memories.

Here's the sketch:
