Lasting Memories September Guest Designer " STRIPES" Challenge LM#360

Hi everyone! It is time for week # 2 as a Guest Designer for September Challenges over at the Lasting Memories Scrapbook Layout Challenge Blog!  As you know, this month is all about patterns, and this week, the LM#360 challenge is to use Stripes somewhere on your layout - as many (or as little) as you would like - Just make sure there are stripes on it somewhere -  Check out all the details and rules over at the LM Blog!

I decided to use LOTS of stripes on my layout!  I included striped patterned paper, striped washi tape, even striped buttons!  

Here is my Guest Designer Inspiration Layout for you!  I hope you will play along with us this week!  You have all month to LINK UP your layout so go ahead and "have at it!"

These photos are of some of my scrappy friends and me, at a SUPER FUN Weekend Scrapbooking Crop! Scrap-a-Doodle Doo puts on these awesome crops 4 times a year and we always have a BLAST, Scrapping and Laughing together!
( www.shopthedoo.com )  Each Crop event is "themed" and this Crop was right after the 4th of July weekend, so it was called "Star Spangled Scrapping!"   I had to include a "?" after the #CROPPING in my title, as after looking at these pictures, I am not sure how much actual "Cropping" took place! LOL!!

I am LOVING these buttons from Queen and Company!  I picked them up at the Scrapbook Expo event last month, specifically with this layout in mind!

Besides Themed decorations, and give-a-ways, there is always some kind of "photo-op" including "props" too for all of us scrappers to "capture the memories!" 

Of course, all the late night scrappers need a little "adult libations" to keep our "mojo" flowing into the wee hours of the morning!

So come join in the FUN, and let us see what you can do with "STRIPES" by joining in on Challenge #LM360 at the Lasting Memories Blog!!   You have until September 30th to LINK UP and play along!

Thanks for stopping by! ((HUGS)) ~ Sherri
