Hello Crafters! 

Today's gorgeous inspiration comes from our DT Megan:

Happy Memorial Day! 

Today's gorgeous inspiration comes from DT Tanti:

Tanti said: "This is absolutely my favorite challenge this month. I had so much fun making my own background. This is how I did it.  I used a white cardstock for my background. I begun with putting some paper doilies all around the page and glimmer misted it.  Then, I put my homemade polka dot mask on the cardstock and also glimmer misted it to give more structure to the background. After that, I took a TP roll, painted the rim with an acrylic paint and stamped it on my background paper to get those circle prints.  If you want to know how I made my polka dot stencil/mask here is the tutorial on 

my blog: http://tantiktutorial.blogspot.de/2014/05/diy-polka-dot-schablone-diy-stencil.html . 

Happy scrapping!"

Hey Scrappers!

Check out today's inspiration by DT Kerry:

This is what Kerry said about her layout:

Here's the sketch:

Just a few more days left to get your layout uploaded for

this sketch challenge and for the May Stash challenge.  

Hi there!

Today's adorable Sketch with Stash inspiration is being shared by

DT Robin:

This is what Robin share about her page:

"It was so fun to scrapbook my precious puppies. I don’t know how I’m going to handle it when  they have to go to new homes! 

I used Light Molding Paste along with a stencil from The Crafters Workshop. It’s very subtle since I didn’t add any color to the molding paste. I also used Tim Holtz stencil, Dot Fade, along with Art Anthology’s Cinnamon Toast Colorations Spray. I used the same spray to sprinkle dots around the page.

For closer details on this layout, please visit my blog:

Until next time,"

~Robin Redd

This sketch is probably my favorite since I have been part of the Scrap Our Stash DT! It is so inspiring and there is nothing I love more right now than the mixed media trend! I really tried to use as much media as possible. I misted the background first with the elongated hexagon stencil. Then I stamped a mini hexagon background stamp on top of it, which actually ended up being covered up. On top of that, I used Distress Ink over the 'Remember' stencil from Heidi Swapp. To highlight the 'Remember' even more, I used some gold embossing paste with a circle stencil. I watercolored a piece of white cardstock that I mounted the vellum and photo to. I love being able to experiment with new materials and just play. Sometimes, the Virgo in me needs the unpredictability that comes with using media that is supposed to be loose!

Don't forget to link up your layout for this sketch challenge and the May 1st Stash Challenge (both challenges can be found HERE) to the sidebar by May 29th! :) 

Here's what Leila said about her layout:

"Our family is addicted in movies...we watch in home, in cine..every kind of movies, actions, comedy, romantic and etc… To make my background I used a white cardstock, stencil by Prima, distress ink and spray inks too, some stamps and washi tapes.  I choose a clean style and put just a few embellies.  I hope you like it!"

Have you started your layout for the May sketch challenge?  You still have some to upload it to the side bar! :) 

"I started with the white cardstock as my background and use molding paste and a stencil and also spray the stencil with Heidi Swapp primrose color shine and added some misting, and I used the molding paste lid to create my circles."

And here is the sketch:

"Hi my friends!  This one was pretty fun, because I not only got to scrap photos of my daughter and one of her friends at Ferrells Ice Cream Parlor but I also tried something I never tried before which was using a stencil to create a different technique.  For the background, I used the new Heidi Swapp Stencil (Cheveron) and also used Heidi Swapps' Color Shine (teal).  Heart embellies (Heidi Swapp), Banner (Basic Grey), Alphas (Dear Lizzy), Butterflies (Studio Calico Cork), and Paper came from Elle's Studio (Love You More). Thanks for looking!"

See you tomorrow with more inspiration!! 

This is what Elizabeth said about her layout:
This was a fun challenge and sketch! I really enjoyed making my "own" background papers. I used a pre-made mask from Studio Calico Mister Huey’s Mask and then used a cup lid and ink to make the black circles on the page. After I sprayed the mist, I also used some BG Basics Candy Buttons to add to my background paper. Totally fun to do and create!!!

You can check out the sketch challenge HERE! 

Happy Scrappy Saturday! 

Today we bring you awesomeness from DT Dulcinea!  She has inspired us with this wonderful layout from the May sketch.

And this is what Dulcinea said about her layout:

I love gesso and paint. For this challenge, I use some old butterfly sticker sheet as a stencil. I use gesso and mist to give a bit of color and texture of my background. I place my picture where is the tag space from the sketch and made some butterfly mist on the circular spot inspiring by the sketch. Now, it's your turn to make a beautiful and personalized background.

More fabulous layouts daily here to inspire you! 

Happy Friday!!!

Today's inspiration is brought to you from our DT Carol:

This is what Carol said about her layout:

For this challenge i used gesso and a mask on a white cardstock for my background. Once it was dry I coloured the triangles with gelato. It was fun to create my own background paper! I can't wait to see what you will create for this challenge! Have fun!

We wish everyone a happy scrappy weekend!

Hi There
Today's May Stash Challenge inspiration is an adorable layout created by DT Megan:
Here is what Megan shared about her layout:

"For this challenge, I pulled out an older photo of my son and documented about how he always had (and still sometimes does have!) his fingers in his mouth. I used patterned paper for the background from Dear Lizzy's newest line for American Crafts, which is less than 6 months old. The blue paper from Echo Park and the green paper from Studio Calico that mat the photo are both from lines that are at least a year old. I fussy cut the stamped green chevrons above the journatling block. I ended up using blue cardstock to mat the background paper, as well as blue patterned paper to mat the photo."

AND...this is what DT Tanti shared about her layout:

"I really LOVED this challenge and enjoyed it so much mixing my old and my new stash together.

To complete this challenge I used my OLD patterned paper from American Crafts "My Girl" collection.

I also used my OLD Thickers.

I added my NEW journaling card from Simple Stories that I've bought two months ago. 

My Something BLUE is my background paper and the watercolour.

My FUSSY CUT is the Flowers from the Dear Lizzy's patterned paper."

Thank you so much for stopping by today, make sure you come back tomorrow for more
Design Team inspiration!

This is what Kerry shared about her page and how she interpreted our
May Stash Challenge:

"Armed with multiple photo's I created a grid design of sorts as my 'new' stash item was Sn@p PL Summer cards. For something old I retrieved some jelly stickers from a set I purchased many moons ago. The fussy cutting comes in the form of a cloud and camera cut from Bella Blvd papers. Lastly the 'something blue' are the Echo Park mini alpha's used on part of my title.

This challenge is such fun and there are so many ways to interpret all the elements! 
Come and play along with us and create another page 

for your album!"

We all have something new, something old, something blue and something we can fussy cut in our stash.   Let us see what creative ways you use your stash items for a chance to win a

Hello Everyone!

We're back today featuring another Design Team reveal inspired by our 

May Stash Challenge

Check out DT Kelly's wonderful page and how she completed the all four of the challenge requirements, and for her design, using an oldie but goodie!

Kelly shared this about her page:

"What a super fun challenge! 

For my Something OLD I used the gray patterned paper (don't even know the brand!), the white rubon stitching, brads, black border strip from Creative Memories (really OLD), title letters and the Queen & Co felt green border. 

My Something NEW is the background paper by Jillibean Soup Irish Farm House & the Queen & Co. arrow washi tape. 

My FUSSY CUT item is the journal block and my something BLUE is my blue washi tape. 

It was great to use up so many OLD items and I also used an OLD sketch 

(#114) by Creative Scrappers for my inspiration."

If you are scrapping this weekend, why not print out the details of our challenge, create a layout and link it up with us for a chance to win our YUMMY sponsored prize this month!

We would love to see what you create inspired by using Something NEW, Something OLD, Something BLUE and Something you have FUSSY CUT!!!

Click HERE for challenge details!!!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Robin shared this about her page:

"This challenge was a blast!

Everything on my layout is "Something Old" except for my little bicycle die-cut/stamp which is my "Something New."

My "Fussy Cut" item isn't too fussy. It's the simple downward chevron stamped image at the upper right corner of my layout.

"Something Blue" is my base page and the larger layered square behind the pictures."

Have a Scraptabulous Day!!!

This is what Jenni shared about her layout:  

"This was a great challenge and one that came together surprisingly fast! I knew I wanted to use this new patterned paper from Heidi Swapp. Choosing the other elements became an exercise in color blocking and I love the way it turned out...Obviously, my something blue is the top cluster of colors, the something old include the 'life' stamp and the heart stamp, both from Studio AE, when I used to be a subscriber. I fussy cut some little frames from an older Amy Tangerine paper pad. I used those frames under the butterflies and the date.

Good luck with the challenge and can't wait to see everyone's take on it!"

By now with all of the fabulous Design Team inspiration we have shared with you this last week, you should be inspired to show us what you got!  It's your turn to mix something old with something new, something blue and something that you fussy cut!

We are looking forward to seeing all of your creations!

Something new, papers and chipboards from Chalk Studios Collection by My Mind's Eyes.

Some fussy cutting is the 2 little dresses in ther corner of page.

Anyway I love this challenge and had a lot of fun when I was working in it!
