OR
Cherished Memories (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6148) by Elizabeth Weaver

And think about what you cherish that you haven't scrapped yet! We all cherish our pets and our children, but think of something you haven't scrapped yet. If you've never tried heritage, try it! If you haven't scrapped a page about your significant other, do that! Remember you can change the colors in the kits to suit your needs.

You can use the prompt or not . . . if you use either of the featured kits, you'll get the Ribbons and Bows (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=205592&cat=500&ppuser=18691) posting freebie by Z!!

[BethyNixon]

A set of cherished word art stamps that you'll be able to use on SO many layouts!!

SOO . . . put the chat on your calendar so you can get this for free!! (It'll be in the store after the chat if you miss it!)

I didn't use either page kit...credit card is smoking right now, LOL. Anyone got a balance I could borrow? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Anywho, I thought this was a good challenge. Quiet is one of the things that is high on my Cherish list!

[Elisabeth]

Yeah, quiet for me too! Thanks for joining us Melissa!

Bonus sent out to here - I sent a bad file at first, fortunately, Pam was sharper than I and caught it, so I have resent a couple but let me know if you got the wrong zip, which only had the file preview in it and not the elements themselves. Sorry!

I hope it's okay that my page is located in another gallery. It is doing triple duty...Yippee....a rarity for me:

[Elisabeth]

Caught up to here - what spectacular layouts everyone!

[MaureenH]

One of the things we cherished in our childhood was the 4-H club. We lived in the country and it was pretty much our entire social activities. I used Elisabeth's Cherished Memories.

[mariafer]

Here is my layout using cherish by beth Nixon: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=208886&cat=2943

I started by making a napping layout and then ended up with this one doubling with Fandango and I really do cherish naps!

[MarsOlson]

:think: why oh why do I do this :confused: as usual leaving a challenge until the day it is due :doh: always a dangerous thing to do if something interferes that day. :eek: oh well I still have til midnight :rolleyes: so I might still get it done. :shocked:

I wonder why this little guy's name says sarcastic?----> :rolleyes: looks more like innocent to me. :yes:

[moog25]

Once again I got mine done just in the nick of time. Here is "Solitude":

[MarsOlson]

Oh yay I even linked in time... but it's not finished. I still need to embellish more for designers spotlight. :)

[the3chickens]

Finally got my Cherish LO done and it's even still pink: Mac & Mummy (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=209016&nocache=1)

[MarsOlson]

I did a second lo with Cherish because the first one is for framing and I wanted a square one for the album.
