EMS Sketch Challenge #129 and Grateful Layout for Lasting Memories #800

Have I ever mentioned how grateful I am all the scrapbookers who enjoy and use my sketches? I love creating them, and this month, I even managed to create two, so here is my latest one. What's cool about this sketch is you could actually use either side as a single page layout! As always, I would love to know if you were able to use the sketch, so share in the comments below if you do.

Speaking of grateful, I am also very thankful for the fun challenges and awesome design team over at Lasting Memories. The blog wouldn't run without their dedication, so here's another shout-out to those great gals! We are actually in need of another design team member, so if you love scrapbooking and are interested in applying, please email me at chereven26@gmail.com. And now, here is today's challenge reveal, another great tic tac toe board from Maureen. I decided to use the diagonal with One word title + Buttons + Rub-on to scrapbook this layout showing my kids on a hike with a friend. It was a blessing to look back on the photos of my kids with this sweet girl and reflect on how precious their times together were. We would love to have you check out all this month's tic tac toe boards and join with us in scrapping those memories, but the May challenges end on the 30th, so don't delay!

Here is Maureen's board:

And here's my layout

I didn't add the little girl's name yet for privacy reasons, but plan to add that and the date (May 5, 2019) to the back of the layout.
