"Awesome Hair" Layout by DT Patricia

Hello!

Today's featured layout is DT Patricia's awesome "crazy" fun layout, inspired by our

June Sketch Challenge

Patricia:

'Welcome again friends! Here is my take on this month's sketch challenge! 

I tried using some paints on this one and used this butterfly I've had in my stash forever! Feels great to get rid of items I've been collecting forever! I loved incorporating hearts that I actually cut by hand 

To complete the challenge, I created a card using the leftover scraps from my layout.

Can't wait to see all the entries!

Thanks for taking a peek!"

Patricia thank you for your continued support and contributions to Scrap Our Stash!   We are so happy that you will be returning for another term, and we are looking forward to what you have in store for us for the next six months!

"This Was Meant To Be" Layout by DT Tracy

Hi there!

Today we have more awesome 

June Sketch Challenge

 inspiration to share with you today, created by DT Tracy:

Tracy:

"Aww, last month marked 1 year for my handsome son and his beautiful girlfriend. These two make such a lovely couple and I can't show them off enough.

This was such a fun sketch to work with and it gave me the opportunity to use some of these heart doilies that I've had laying around for a few months. I decided to offset them with the black and white printed papers because I just love that contrast. Also laying around in my stash (for a very long time) was that tin heart and this was the perfect opportunity to use it as well. 

To complete this challenge my card was made from the scrap paper of my layout, also adding a heart doilie and continuing with a love theme.

I do have to say, my stash pile is getting smaller and smaller and I have to credit Scrap Our Stash for that! With my term coming to an end this month, this will be my last challenge as a DT member but I will continue to play along whenever I can! Thanks so much for your support and please visit me anytime! http://scrappydaze2012.blogspot.com/"

Tracy thank you for being a part of our team.   We appreciate all of the beautiful inspiration and support you have provided to Scrap Our Stash!  

Best wishes to  you and your future endeavors!

"Happy" Layout by DT Kate

Happy Friday evereyone!

Today's beautiful inspiration is the creative work of DT Kate,

inspired by our

June Sketch Challenge:

Kate:

"I decided to add some mixed media into this challenge since I had this butterfly stencil that was begging to be used! Went to my desk and tried to use up my tiny scraps. Hand cut and painted my own hearts smile emoticon and just loved that it all came together pretty quickly.

Since I am not a card maker, I made a mini card that I could tuck into a gift."

Kate it has been a pleasure having you as a part of our team and we are thrilled that you have agreed to design with us for another tern.  We really appreciate all of the support and contributions to Scrap Our Stash.  We are looking forward to the inspiration you will sharing us for the next six months!

"Cherish" Layout by DT Becky

Today's fabulous layout, inspired by our
June Sketch Challenge
is the creative work of talented DT Becky:

Becky:

"I love this sketch challenge! Given that our guest designer this month is Ashley Horton, I used one of her cut files for the hearts. I changed things up with a vertical photo strip from a wedding I attended recently and used a love theme through out. Most of the elements come from my Valentine's Day stash. For the background, I tinted modeling past with several shades of spray ink and applied it through a stencil. I sewed around a lid to get the thread circle and added silver and black ink splatters."

To complete the challenge, I kept the love theme and tried to incorporate most of the elements from the layout. I should continue making cards from remaining layout goodies, as it was really quick to pull together. I used the same mixed media techniques for the background, the hearts were remnants of the cut files, and I added leftover paper scraps and embellishments."

Becky we are excited that you have agreed to stay for another term and we are looking forward to the inspiration you will be creating inspired by our challenges for the next six month!

Your support, contributions and dedication to Scrap Our Stash is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for being and awesome team member!

Here is a look at this month's sketch, the inspiration for Becky's layout:

You still have time to play along but remember to be eligible for the prize drawing,

you MUST use your left over scraps from the layout to create a card, any design of your choice!

Have a wonderful day and make sure you stop by tomorrow and check out what our next designer has created to inspire you.

"Have Fun" Layout by DT Claire

Good morning!

Welcome to another day of Design Team inspiration!

Today's featured layout was created by DT Claire, inspired by our

June Sketch Challenge

Claire:

"Wonderful sketch -cannot go wrong with a sketch like this. I loved the way the hearts cascaded down so I decided to keep the hearts as the main element. 

This is definitely a stash layout. I had leftover acrylic paint that I did not want to waste so I brushed the various colors on white cards stock thinking I would use it as a backdrop. That changed once I saw this sketch. I decided instead to use my die cutting machine to cut the hearts out at various sizes. I then used the negative cut another layout as well as any left over hearts on a card (see below). I kept this layout simple so that the focus was on the photo. 

The theme of my wedding album is "life lessons" such as having fun, remember to smile, don't sweat the small things, etc. This photo is about the life lesson of having fun, to play and not take things to serious. Don't worry, I did not follow through..."

In this layout, I used the negative of the heart cut file as the background layer. I used papers from the scrap bin -primarily Echo Park Everday Eclectic, to fill in the heart spaces. I also used stickers from Basic Grey Fresh Cut. 

This layout is part of "through the ages" album. I have many random pictures of my husband and I from the beginning. So I thought I would document our relationship in this album to show how we grew as a couple.

"I used all the left overs from the previous two layouts to create this card, the left over hearts from the first layout, and the papers (the last of the EP Eclectic collection) and stickers (BG Fresh Cut) on this card...

For all the details on these projects, please visit my blog, www.ThreeWatersCreations.blogspot.com.

Have a great day and I cannot wait to see your layouts and the cards you create with the leftover papers and embellishments."

Thank you Claire for being a part of our team.   Your contributions and dedication to Scrap Our Stash is greatly appreciated and we will miss you.   
We wish you the best in your future endeavors!

Here is a look at our sketch that inspired Claire's layout:

AND...don't forget, you MUST create a card using the left over scraps from your layout
to be entered into the drawing for our June prize drawing.
You have until June 29th, 11:59 PM (PST) to link up your entries!

"Best Friend" Layout by DT Robin

Hello there!
Today's super cute Design Team reveal is the creative work of talented DT Robin,
inspired by our
June Sketch Challenge:

Robin:

"Surprise!!! It's a dog layout! haha I know, I know...another dog layout. I can't get enough of my 4-legged buddies. I had a good time with this great sketch. I found these old-school flat stickers that I've hung onto for all these years. These are my favorite colors for my dog pictures.

I, also, had a good time make the coordinating card. I didn't have any paper scraps, so I used a duplicate piece of paper for the base, again.

For more detail shots of my projects (and a peek inside the card), please visit my blog....http://robinredd.typepad.com/reddrobinstudios/"

This is Robin's last reveal for this Design Team term, but  we are happy to announce that she will returning for yet another term, so look forward to more of Robin's awesome creations inspired by our challenges!!!!

"Remember I (Heart) You" Layout by DT Nicole

Happy Monday everyone!

Today DT Nicole is sharing an amazing layout she created inspired by our

June Sketch Challenge:

Nicole:

"Another awesome sketch this month... it makes me so sad that this is my last SOS DT reveal! I am keeping happy knowing that I will be able to come back to play along to the challenges with all of you. My last DT project is one of my favorites I must say. I used My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Record It Heirloom collection and I just love the combination of kraft and reds and pinks. All those hearts, inspired by the sketch, were cut out of the patterned paper. 

As the challenge asked, I used leftovers to create a card, also with a love theme. I hope I was able to inspire you to play along with this month's sketch challenge!"

Close up:

Nicole it has been a pleasure  having you on our team.   We have enjoyed sharing the fabulous inspiration you create based on our challenges,   Thank you so much for all of your contributions and support of Scrap Our Stash!

June Sketch Challenge:

Lynn:

"I seriously love this sketch! I used all of my favorite colors, products and techniques on this one. From machine stitching, to watercolors, to washi tape, and to Heidi Swapp. I was inspired to use bright colors and a play little on the wild side wink emoticon 

I fussy cut my hearts by hand and kept the negative sections for my card, and cut out those hearts again.

Thank you Ashley Horton for a super fun sketch!

This will be my last layout as a SOS DT member. I will miss all the ladies here at SOS and I truly enjoyed my stay. This blog rocks and the challenges are unique! I will surely see you all around!

"Deutsches Technikmuseum" Layout by DT Tanti K

Good Morning!

Today's feature is the wonderful creation of our talented DT Tanti,

inspired by the June Sketch Challenge

Tanti:

"This page is for my photography album.

I found the circle displays in the museum were such an interesting photo subject.

So, like always, I had to take a picture of them.

For my layout, I just followed the main design of the sketch but instead of hearts I cut out some circles out of patterned papers to match the circle displays.

To complete the challenge, I created a card using just the leftover paper scraps from the layout."

Tanti thank you so much for being a part of this team and agreeing to return for another term to continue to inspire our followers!

Anyway we are most beautiful now."

"Aim High" Layout by DT Steffanie

Hello!

Today's super cute inspiration is the creative work of DT Steffanie, inspired by our

June Sketch Challenge:

Steffanie:

"As you can see, my page definitely took on a more masculine feel. As I I was plowing through my Disney photos, I just wasn't seeing the hearts working for any of the photos I had left. So I decided to see the hearts as a vertical element and that translated to vertical strips on my page. A little secret here...I used a 6x6 paper pad, which means I cut my papers and hid the ends behind the photo block to make them appear longer. One of the many things I love about 6x6 pads!

Most of the sketch stayed relatively the same. I used two photos and matted them into a block. Mine are just vertical instead of horizontal. The title shifted to the left a bit. I used twine to create a whimsical "circle" around my photos rather than the stitched circles shown on the sketch.

For the card challenge, I gave myself a little bit of creative liberty and created a card using any of the paper scraps I had from this particular paper pad. 

The design of the card was inspired by a sketch from Case This Sketch!"

This is Steffanie's last reveal for this Design Team term, but...we are excited that she has agreed to stay on and create inspiration to share with Scrap Our Stash for another term!!!   :)

It's your turn to show us how Ashley's sketch below inspires you and the creative way you use the scraps to create a card...
