"XOXO" LO by Michelle Mattie

Hello! 

Today, Designer Michelle M. shares with us this wonderful layout:
Michelle said this about her layout:
"Hey everyone,
Here's my take on this month's sketch challenge. Instead of the two large triangles, I decided to cut small ones from the checkered pattern paper and attach them around my page. For the word twist I used the following:
C: Crate Paper, colorshine
U: uniball pen, upcycle (The two little pieces of washi tape I used came from a kit where they had been used to keep a small envelope closed)
P: polariod frames
I: ink
D: diet

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you create!!!!"

C - Creative Embellishment's chipboard
U - Uniball silver pen
P - pattern paper
I - ink
D - diecut

Good Morning! 

For today's inspiration, Designer Sherri is sharing this lovely layout:
Sherri said this about her layout:
"This layout captures memories of an awesome day spent with family and weekend filled with lots of adult laughs. I am so thankful that my husband and his 2 brothers are so close - and that I love my sisters-in-laws as my sisters that I never had. We always have a great time whenever we are together -even though the "boys" sometimes act like little "boys!" Love them all with all my heart! 
I did find the triangles a bit of a challenge, and ended up using a triangle template that I cut out of scrap paper, and used it as a guide to make the triangles out of some thin washi tape - I am very happy with how they came out - and I can't wait to see what you will come up with!

I selected the following items from my stash for the word challenge:
C - Cardstock, Corrugated Cardboard, Circle, Camera, Chevron, Chipboard
U - Urban Traveler Paper - from Simple Stories "You are Here" Collection
P - Paper Clip, Puffy Sticker, Paper House 3D Stickers
I - Ink, Queen and Co. Rox "ICE" Nightfall Self Adhesive Stones
D - Diamond (Red Brads,) Die Cut, Enamel Dots

I hope you can find the time to play along with this fun sketch this month!

Today's Designer Natsuko is sharing her fun layout with us:
Natsuko said this about her layout:
"I chose C-Clip, U-Ultramarine, P-PolcaDots, I-Ink, D-Diecut
This is such a fun sketch! I especially love the triangles, so I cut them out and placed them like the sketch. I layered paper, diecuts and chipboard frames and popped up one of the pictures to add dimention. For the circle, I used twine. Ultra Marine color was used in the diecut words, and I used the same ink to write the journal. You can see more at http://natsukoslittlecraftroom.blogspot.com/

"So Cozy" Layout by DT Steffanie Seiler

Hello Scrappers!

Today's inspiration is from our designer Steffanie Seiler:
Stephanie shares this about her layout:
"How about a little pink for you during this month of all things love and valentines? I think I got it covered with this one! I actually used some leftovers from a kit (The ScrapRoom - February FOTM kits). I had these photos of my kitty laying against a unicorn that had pink accents so I thought they'd be a great fit for this collection from Crate Paper.


Here's the rest of my breakdown:

C - Crate Paper, clouds, chipboard, Crafter's Workshop (template for drops)
U - Uchida circle punch
P - pink, puffy alpha stickers
I - ink for edging papers, Ink for stamping, ink spray (white)
D - drops (Nuvo), date stamp

I made a few changes to the sketch but I think you can still see the "bones". I flipped the sketch horizontally to suit the orientation of my photos better. I added a third piece of patterned paper in the form of a vertical banner strip between the other two pieces. I used Nuvo Drops to make the circle. I eliminated the trianges as they just seemed too sharp for the otherwise soft feel I was going for with this page. I also relocated my title more toward the top of my page. It just fit better there.

Now it's your turn. Take the challenge---I know you want to!"

"Just Us" Layout by Designer June Swart

Today's lovely feature was created by talented Designer June
inspired by the 
June:
"Hello and Welcome!
Check out the new Scrap Our Stash tic-tac-toe challenge for February. So many fun elements to choose from! 
I used the middle column: 
polka dots - hearts - glitter. (And just for fun, I also did the diagonal: tag - hearts - doily.) 

Jeff and I always smile when we look at this photo, vividly remembering our romantic Ferris wheel ride. Wanting to try something new, I created the doily heart around the photos with 2 circle doilies. Then, to add a little more color and get the heart to stand out, I backed the doilies with pink cardstock. If you’d like to see more details, check out my blog Super Stick Chick.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you can find a little romantic getaway this month - even if it is just a moment on a Ferris wheel.
