Good morning, and thanks for joining us again here at Lasting Memories, where it's all about layouts! Today we are continuing to inspire you to get your layouts scrapped, so here is our latest challenge.

Introducing Our April Guest Designer

Hello everyone, and a happy Saturday to you. Hope you are enjoying your weekend and are getting in some scrappy time before Easter!

Today we are thrilled to announce our guest designer for April. She has guest designed for us previously, so please give a warm welcome to Lisa.

April GDT Lisa

Hello, everyone. My name is Lisa. I live in rural Iowa with my husband of 33 years. We have 3 adult children and 3 grandchildren. I am a veteran art teacher of 35 years, all in the same school system. Scrapbooking is my self-care; it brings me peace and joy, along with giving me another form of creativity. I enjoy taking inspiration from other scrapbookers, so I hope you can find something in my work that will inspire you.

You can see more of Lisa's inspirational work over at Scrapbook.com.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check back tomorrow for a new challenge. This month we are going to be getting sketchy!

Have a great day.
