My BTS layout is actually using the Back to School photo I took of my son last year. Nice to get it scrapped. I also added this little photo of him when he was 3, it's fun to see the similarities and differences after 5 years.

 So for my B I used this little green button that was just sitting on my scrap table. I don't remember where it came from, maybe off a shirt. lol T I used some brown twine to tie up the button and for S I did some sewing on my layout.

 I also used a Fiskars punch for the top border and trim above the photo, some doodling, inking, date stamp and lots of fun Moxxie Forever Family paper.

Try out this fun challenge and send in your layout for us to see!

Here's my BTS layout:
B = brothers, brads, and barbed wire
T = tag and textured paper
S = stars and Studio J

One afternoon, I kept my nephews after school and ended up getting some great pictures of them together!  I decided to make my layouts digitally in Studio J so that I could easily get one for myself, my sister, and our mother.

You can learn more about Studio J and my layouts at http://inkyscrapper.blogspot.com.  Thanks!

BTS by Wendy C

Just like the first day of school, it's time to get back in the swing of things. I just took these adorable photos of my two youngest on their first day of school. Perfect timing for the BTS challenge!
Here is what I used: B = Banners, Buttons - T = Twine - S = School Supply Stickers.
Feels good to be scrapping again! Now if I can only get the kids to keep up the same enthusiasm with school!

BTS by Tamara

This was such a fun challenge BTS to me right now is Back to Scrapping! I needed this push to get me going again in my family chronological scrapbook. I am currently scrapping the year 2002 and I was ready to get my Torch run layout finished. I used B- buttons and place them strategically about the page. T- I used twine to add the trim on the bottom and tied a bow. Then I also created a start and wrapped the twine around it for a different look. S`- my silver was added by using silver numbers in the right hand bottom corner (02) also I added silver bling jewels to ever other dot on my scallop strip. I loved doing something different with the BTS theme! Hope you enjoy taking on this challenge too!!

Our BTS challenge this month has so many possibilities! Go here to see how you too can play and maybe be our next guest designer!!!Thanks, Deb♥



SOS Designer Sarah has a clever idea today using our BTS challenge :)

BTS usually means Back to School, but not here at SOS this month! This month it means you are to use your stash with anything that begins with the letters in BTS!!!
B might mean buttons and brads
T might mean twine and tin
S might mean sequins and silver
Remember YOU choose what B, T, and S mean and dig into that stash of yours!
*******
Ha!
BTS means something to all of us in this house right now...
Boxes, Tape & Stress!
We are moving...
We don't know when but we know it's within the next 2 months.
Due to the decline of my Mother's motility after being hit by car, with the light as a pedestrian crossing the road withing the crosswalk, back in April; and my Father's Alzheimer's starting to get to the 'we need to plan ahead' stage... We've all come to the decision that we're best getting a 2 home-house together now. In hopes that my parents will be able to live longer, happier lives in a *house* (yard, keep theirs dogs etc...) with family to help. On our end it means my parents are quite willing to help out with homework (with 4 boys that's no small task!) and passing on some of their knowledge and stories now, before they disappear (as in my Dad's case).
It's win-win! Considering the amount of time we all spend at each other's houses now we'll also gain heaps of travel time back... lol.
In the meantime we're playing what I refer to as the 'Game of Homes' as we go through each stage of the game: selling their house, making an offer on a new one, moving and then fixing and selling ours. That means we're living in Box-Ville and it's growing every day.
Most of my Studio has been packed up so I'm trying operate on a bare minimum of supplies... hence my page! Used a piece of scrap box, packing tape, stickers, single rub-on and Sharpies for the titling... and embellished with a snipped up sheet of BoBunny Rub-Ons scattered all over.
Scrapping my very limited Stash!





















Bit of angle for less shiny...

Our designer Elizabeth is back today to show her BTS, here ya go...


The Scrap our Stash challenge's theme this month is BTS which usually means Back to School, but the twist in the challenge is that we are to use your stash with anything that begins with the letters B T S.

However, the first thing I thought of when I read the theme, BTS, for September's Scrap Our Stash challenge was this photograph. Taken in 2000, it's of three of my grandchildren, looking incredibly smart and, judging by their smiles, ready for their first day back at school after the summer holidays.

So I decided to go ahead and create a layout entitled Back To School but in the spirit of the challenge I used (B)uttons, (T)rim and (S)teve's Pages from my stash.

I truly raided my stash for this layout so the papers are not from a particular collection but from various sources - Sugartree's Steve's Pages School Days; Sandylion's School Pencil Crayons (matting); Daisy Bucket's, My Little Monster's Share Your Toys (trim) and Bloomin Paislies, Charming Claire (flowers) ; Fancy Pants Kraft Kuts Ledger (journaling). Somehow it worked!

The stickers, including the title alphas, are from an Inspirations bumper book of stickers from Designworks that I've had for years and the buttons are also from stash.

Remember our guest designer Brenda who was here last month? Well, Brenda, created such lovely projects to share that I just had to offer her a position here at SOS! Here is she is today with her BTS and what she would like us to know about it:


I could not wait to scrap this adorable photo of my great nephew taken on his first day of school and this challenge was the perfect opportunity. My mojo has been on vacation lately and I think this cute photo and fun school themed papers and chipboard from the Fancy Pants “Off To School” collection was just what I need to get my scrap on!

The challenge was to use (B)ack (T)o (S)chool as the inspiration to create a project and here is what I came up with:
(B) Border, Bracket, Buttons, Brown
(T) Tag, Tab, Thickers
(S) Star, Sneaker, Sketch by Heather Waldron

Not only did this challenge help my mojo find its way back home, I was able to use product I have had sitting in my stash for quite some time!

Looking forward to seeing all of your BTS projects!!!

Here is our designer Debbie with her take!


I loved this month's challenge. It was like a mini recipe to follow. This layout is all about using up the older product! My "B" is the buttons on my stars, as well as all the color blue that I used on this layout. The "T" is the word tape that I used as a border. I have had this in my stash forever! I got it at the dollar store a few years ago. And the "S" is my stars. The quote and the stars were die cuts that My Mind's Eye made more than 8 years ago. They are the "This & That, Tags & Things". Do you remember those? I can't believe I hung onto them for so long. But now I'm glad I did. This page is for my son's baby album that I started recently. The photos aren't the greatest, but they bring back so many wonderful memories from 33 years ago.

BTS by Charlotte

Very fun challenge this month using the initials BTS to create a layout. I decided on B- Bo Bunny, T-Twine and S-Sew Stamper. This is my Daughter and Grandson at Mom and Tot's Swim class! He enjoyed the water so much and loved when we would come and watch him! Hope you join in the challenge and come up with some fun things to use from your stash! http://scrapsational-char.blogspot.ca/
