XoXo Blog Hop and Lasting Memories Challenge all in one!



Welcome to the true XOXO blog hop! You must've arrived here from Linda.  If you happen to just stumble by, head to True XOXO where the fun begins!!!


I was challenged by Linda to create a monochromatic page! Perfect challenge to do more pages for my baby boy!! My design was inspired by this week's challenge at Lasting Memories' Tag challenge. The key was to have a tag somewhere on your page. I made large tags and used it for my photos. If you lift one tag, there are more photos underneath! It is a great way to have multiple photos on one layout! 







Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to check out my giveaway! You're next stop is Lindsey, but if you happen to get lost, here's a list of the hoppers!

    What a cutie pie! I haven't done any secret journaling/pictures in MONTHS and I used to do this all the time at some point. Maybe I can start secret journaling again soon. :))
