Lasting Memories Challenge-Borderline

Welcome Back to another challenge at Lasting Memories. It's "Borderline" Week! We want top see your borders on your layout this week.

I had some fun using up my stash this week. Long before Wobblers existed there were Piggy Tales Pig Tales. I have been hoarding them for years. Not sure what I thought I was saving them for. But they do a wonderful job of making the frog appear to be in motion when touched. I also added some googly eyes, some Ranger Red Christmas stickles on the party hat and Black Enamel Accents on the toes and nose to give the flat Belle Blvd diecut frog some dimension.

Since the cat was playing with ribbon I thought it would be fun to add some Birthday Ribbon to the title tag, The letters are from my stash and I remember they came from a Disney sticker set.

To make the border I laid 2 ribbons from my stash side by side. I then used an old Bazzill border on top to give the border some dimension.

The star embossed cardstock is REALLY old-I am thinking like 10 years. The Paper is from Bella Blvd Boy Birthday Collection.

This week we are sponsored by a2z Scrapbooking.
 Up for grabs is a $10 gift certificate.

Lasting Memories Challenge #115-Stamp Those Layouts

Missed me?? I was lost in Technology World, trying to convince Comcast that to wait more than a week for service was unreasonable. (The joys of being in an area that only has one service provider. No competition means poor customer service.) But the tech person shared a secret I am going to share with you. Apparently the router and modem will sometimes get out of sync causing a disruption in service-and why they could not have told me this over the phone is beyond me. So the trick is to turn off both the router and modem. Wait 30 secs and turn on the modem, let the lights come back on. (The wireless will not come on at this point.) Then plug the router in. Within a  minute or so your Internet should come back. So I am back!!!

This week the challenge at Lasting Memories is to Stamp on your layout. I had planned to do this elaborate stamped layout, but life got in the way. But I just got Kristen Werner's new On Edge Stamp Set and Small Folder Banners Die Set and I was aching to trying them out. So I used them to put the finishing touches on this layout.

The actual layout is not on a diagonal. Not sure what happened here. Sorry:(

Supplies:
Cardstock and Paper: Bella Blvd Birthday Girl
Die: Simon Says Stamp Small Folded Banners Holiday Kit
Stamp: Simon Says Stamp On the Edge
Ink: Hero Arts Neon Pink
Adhesives: Glue Glider Pro, Micro Glue Dots
Ribbon: May Arts
Stickers: Bella Blvd Birthday Girl

Looking forward to seeing your stamping creations! Be sure to check out A2Z Scrapbooking Supplies-there's a ton of sales going on over there. And there are some awesome Christmas stamping supplies!


And Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American Friends!

Supplies:
Cardstock and Paper: Bella Blvd Birthday Girl collection and scraps
Dies: MFT Fish Tail Stax
Foam Tape: Ek Success (used for sentiment
