Introducing New Team Member, Designer Tiffany Call

Hello everyone!
We are excited to have this talented designer joining
our team!
Welcome aboard
Tiffany Call
"Hi, I'm Tiffany from Ashby Massachusetts! Like most of you, I wear many hats. Mom, girlfriend, papercrafter, scrapbooking event coordinator, sprinkle in a bit of chef and taxi driver...and that's me! I have been scrapbooking for 18 years, starting with a baby book for my first child. Once I started, I was hooked! I mainly scrapbook 12x12 layouts and pocket pages, and also enjoy hosting scrapbook events and teaching paper crafting at my local library. I'm thrilled to be part of the Scrap Our Stash team and look forward to making a dent in my stash."

Below is the incredible layout Tiffany created inspired by this month's
Hooray for Summer” 

Tiffany:
"For this layout, I hand-cut a sunburst shape out of yellow patterned paper and layered it over a sky blue water colored background. To mimic the movie poster, I printed a whole bunch of 2x2” photos that were highlights of last summer. I put my title in the center of the sunburst and had my photos coming out over the rays, creating a big summertime collage. A few epoxy stickers, sunshine embellishments, and nests of blue thread finished up the layout."


Here is a look at this month's board:

Introducing Returning Designer Rachelle Olaridge


Happy Friday everyone!
Today concludes the introduction of our design team members for the Jan - June 2017 term.
I hope you have enjoyed getting to know a little bit more about each of our talented designers!
Scrap Our Stash is looking forward to all of the amazing inspiration this team
will be providing to share with our fans, inspired by our bi monthly challenges!

It's time now to meet our final designer,
Rachelle Olaridge

Rachelle is celebrating her fourth term with Scrap Our Stash and we are excited she has agreed to design with us another term.  
We're looking forward to the beautiful inspiration she will be sharing with us the next six months.
"Hi there. My name is Rachelle.I am a mother to 2 grown sons and grandmother to 2 beautiful grandchildren.

I was a 6th grade teacher for 7 years. As a result of failing health I am wheelchair bound and keeping busy is still my goal. Scrapbook is the best and rewarding therapy.

I started scrapbooking in 2008 when I viewed a friends work. My passion quickly turned into addiction for this type of artistry and I never looked back. I am very passionate about this interest. It's not just about creating albums but it is a work of art. I truly love the art of design in all aspects of life, Thus, here I am today enjoying my passion as therapy and inspiration for others. Each day is filled with being inspired, creating, providing inspiration through my work and treasuring the memories. I define my style using one word it would be Shabby Chic." I love beautifully embellished projects with lots and lots of detail. My love of flowers is reflected on most of my projects. I always have the urge to add a flower here or there. 

Although this is my true style, I easily adapt my style depending on the type of project. 

I love using a variety of techniques, elegant and fun elements. My style has been described as detailed, beautiful, and multifaceted. My greatest strength is attention to detail. I like to take the viewer on a visual journey of my inspirational designs.

And...for today's inspiration, Rachelle has created the beautiful layout below inspired by the
January Tic Tac Toe Stash Challenge:
"Reminisce"
Rachelle:
Hello scrappers! Rachelle here and I am excited to share my challenge inspiration for you. I created a holiday page using my grandchildren as the focal point. I added a bit of mixed media background followed by 5+ patterned paper, red-white twine, and paint/mist.selected from the left of the Tic-Tac-Toe Board.

Introducing New Designer Michelle Mattie

Hello!
It's day 11 of our Design Team introductions!
We are excited to have this talented designer joining our team!
Welcome aboard 
Michelle Mattie
we are looking forward to seeing the awesome inspiration you will be sharing with us!
"Hey everyone. My name is Michelle Mattie and I live on our family farm in a small community on the east coast of Canada. I work full time as a veterinary technician and have a daughter, who is the focus of most of my layouts. I started scrapbooking in 2003 after being invited to a home party and haven’t looked back!! I love challenges and use sketches on pretty much all my pages. Some signatures are machine stitching, handmade flowers and inks, in one form or another. I'm not sure how to describe my style. Sometimes it can be clean and simple, and other times it can get pretty messy . I love texture and dimension on my layouts. When I'm not scrapping, I love to putter outside, play volleyball, read or work on wool applique. I am super excited to be on the Scrap Our Stash team, and can’t wait to share my first reveal with you!!"

Take a look at the wonderful layout Michelle created inspired by the
January Tic Tac Toe Challenge

"Just Us Girls"
Michelle:
"I love tic tac toe challenges!!! There are so many possibilities!!! I decided to use the vertical row on the left: paint/mist, 5+ patterned papers and twine. The photo is of my daughter and her puppy Saxon, just hanging out. The pattern papers and embellishments used were from Fancy Pants' 'Millie & June' collection. 
Thanks for stopping by!!"

Introducing Returning Designer Patricia Barnett


Join with us in welcoming back talented
Designer
Patricia Barnett
Patricia is a veteran and celebrating her ninth term with Scrap Our Stash
and we are looking forward to the inspiration she will be creating to share
with us this term.
"Hello my crafty friends!
My name is Tricia and I am from Sunny Southern California, mother of one beautiful daughter Breanna Nichole (6) and a brand new fury friend, Brownie. I have been creating for about 17 years and have enjoyed every moment of it. I began scrapbooking right when there weren’t too many “safe” products out there to use. Since my attendance to a Scrapbook Expo it went all down hill from there! I usually reference that as my “coming out party!” Most of my projects and layouts you will see will be of my daughter as she IS the subject and focus of my life! I have met so many cool people through the world of crafting in which I am so lucky to have many of them as my friends!

I’m usually kept busy doing layouts, canvas pieces, Project Life, Art Journaling and my favorite…. Mini Books! Whatever it is I am creating I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE using embelIies! You will almost always find some BLING, Washi Tape, Paint, and most likely some doodling. =) I

Besides crafting, I love spending time with my family, friends, traveling, reading, dancing and working out. I am usually never still and always involved in something.

I am super excited to be a part of such an awesome design team here for Scrap Our Stash! 
All the designers are extremely talented and I am sure you will find inspiration every time you visit! 
I am totally looking forward to another term and I hope you are too! 
Stay tuned to see some cool stuff!
See you around!"
Tricia

Today's inspiration was created by Patricia
inspired by the 

Patricia:

"Our favorite holiday of the year and this is one of my daughters favorite tradition, which is tree decorating and placing the tree topper. This was the first year she was able to reach and place all by herself, she was so happy and proud!

Paper used: Pink Fresh Studios, "Oh Joy". 
Utilized from the Scrap Room stash of mine!

Row used: Paint / Mist, Winter Theme (paper), & The Color Blue...diagonal.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Introducing New Designer June Swart

Hello and welcome to another day of our Design Team Introductions!!!
Please join us in welcoming another new member to our team,
talented designer,
June Swart
Welcome aboard June, we are excited to have you on the team and looking forward to the 
fascinating inspiration you will be sharing with us!
"Hi there! My name is June, and I am thrilled to be part of the SOS design team! Being an avid scrapbooker and cardmaker, I create something new almost every day. I enjoy making cards, but scrapbooking is my true passion. I started my first scrapbook as a teenager in the 1970s and I’ve created dozens of albums since. My style varies, as I love trying new techniques and crossing over ideas from cardmaking into scrapbooking. Mostly I just like to have fun, be creative, and add a little humor or something clever. I love to push my creativity, and as a former teacher I also like to encourage others to do the same. I started my blog, Super Stick Chick, just last year. I also have a strong following on Flickr as snazzyjj.

I am a stay-at-home mom who lives in Minnesota and is married to her sweetheart, Jeff. We have two wonderful sons (ages 16 and 28) and two playful cats. I love to do all sorts of papercrafting, gardening and Jazzercise."

"A New Year's Resolution"
June:
"I am so excited to join the Scrap Our Stash team! This is the first time I’ve ever been on a design team. I am trilled and nervous, but most of all looking forward to enjoying this adventure with all of you. For my debut, I thought it would be fun to combine my two favorite hobbies – papercrafting and aerobics – with a traditional New Year’s Resolution. 

For the tic-tac-toe challenge, I used the first column:
Paint (gold)
5+ pattern papers
Twine
(I also “accidentally” did the top row with paint, die cuts & Simple Stories.)

Wanting to add a lot of energy to this page, I punched 1” circles from a bunch of pattern papers – mostly from Bobunny’s Believe collection (can you spot their tag on page?), but also a little Simple Stories, too. The gold stars on top were made with Inka Gold paint and a stencil. If you would like more detail on this page you can visit my blog
http://superstickchick.blogspot.com/."

And here's a look at our challenge that inspired June's layout:

Introducing Returning Designer, Asa Johansson

Happy Monday!

It's day eight of our Design Team introductions and we are excited to have returning designer
Asa Johansson
continuing on our team for another term!  
We can't wait to see the fabulous inspiration
she has in store to share with us for the next six months:
"My name is Ã…sa Johansson and I´m from Sweden. I´m 39 years old or I rather say young. I live here with my hubby and our three kids (one boy and twin girls) and a dog. I work as a teacher since 16 years. 

My big hobby, or maybe I may say addiction, is scrapbooking and cardmaking. I started out in 2007 when I was pregnant with our twin girls. But I see 2012 as my real beginning. That is when I started my blog and had a little more time to scrap because the life with twins was crazy in the first years... 

I like to join different challenges and I´m a team member in some Design Teams. I think I developed by that. 

I don´t know if I can describe my style. In cardmaking it is CAS for sure but my layouts varies. But I often use white cs as a background, many layers and bright colors. I got a Silhouette Cameo some months ago and I love to cut out things to add to my layouts. 

I´m so proud to be a part of the design team here at Scrap Our Stash. I hope I can give you some inspiration during the months. 

Please visit my blog if you want to see more from me.

And for today's inspiration, Asa has created a beautiful layout inspired by the 

"Let It Snow"
Asa:
"Hi my scrappy friends! 
I hope that the beginning of the year has been good for you. 

Here´s my take on our first Tic Tac Toe challenges. Love these challenges where you have so many options to create. 
I decided to use the diagonal row: paint/mist, winter theme, blue. 

And now it´s your turn. Can´t wait to see your work. 

Hugs! 
Ã…sa"

Here the challenge that inspired this beautiful layout:

Have a great day and remember to stop by tomorrow for the 
introduction of our next designer.

Introducing Returning Designer Michelle Henderson

It's day seven of our Design Team introductions!   
Our next designer is celebrating
her second term with Scrap Our Stash!
Join with us in welcoming back talented designer
Michelle Henderson
We are thrilled to have Michelle back on the team and looking 
forward to the awesome creations she will be sharing with us inspired by our challenges!
"Hi everyone I'm Michelle and I'm from the shaky South Island in New Zealand!

I live in Christchurch (which had a major earthquake in 2011 that we're all still slowly recovering from), with my husband of 31 years, 2 teenage daughters that I love but drive me batty sometimes, and 2 psychotic cats. My poor hubby is outnumbered 5 to 1 as even the cats are girls! 

I've been scrapping for around 15 years although it's just in the last couple of years that I've discovered what a huge online community there is for scrappers. I can spend hours "window" shopping online, checking out techniques on YouTube, finding things I like on Pinterest, reading blogs and updating my own blog. I love competing in online challenges as they always give a "push" to get those photos on to layouts and then into albums.
I'm also on the design team for my local scrapbook store The Paper Teapot.

I am super pumped to be on the Scrap Our Stash design team and I hope that I can inspire you to create, create, create!"

Today Michelle is sharing the amazing layout she created inspired by the

"Young, Wild & Free"
Michelle:
"Happy New Year everyone - or is it too late to still say that?
Here's my take on the first of the Tic Tac Toe challenges. I used the bottom horizontal line - twine on the tag and the button, a couple of gorgeous paperclips, and blue in the denim of the ribbon and also watercolour background.
There are so many different ways to interpret these type of challenges - I look forward to seeing YOURS!
Come visit me at my blog for further details

Karin Dahllof
"My name is Karin Dahllöf, aka Kada, and I live at the island
​ of​ Orust in Bohuslän, Sweden with my husband and our cat. Scrapbooking is a lifestyle to me, a part of my daily life, my nerv of life. To create is to be free, to have fun och be personal. Nothing is right or wrong, it's fantastic! 

I began to scrapbook in 2004, just after our marriage. But I have made birthday cards ever since I was a child. I love to create with paper
​ and try different techniques, tools, etc. 

To be a member of this design team means a lot to me
​ and I am so looking forward to this term​. I really hope I can give you inspiration to feel the fun in this hobby. 
​You are welcome to visit my blog: 

 Now it's time to check out the incredible layout Karin created inspired by the 
"Winter Life"
Karin:
"What a great challenge this is; you can use many different things from your stash. 
I chose a diagonal row: Simple Stories, Winter Theme and Twine. 
The pictures of my lovely niece playing in the snow we had back in November is just perfect, don't you think?! 
Simple Stories is the washi tapes, the chip board decorations and the journaling card. I used twine by doing a rope. The papers that are so spot on for my pictures I got from a monthly Swedish Paper Club. For more information, please visit my blog: https://kada72.wordpress.com/
Looking forward to see what you create for this challenge! 
Love Kada"

Introducing Returning Designer Sherri DeKnight Caramcio

Hello, scrappy friends!
It's day four of our Design Team introductions!
We are excited to have talented designer
returning to our team for another term!
Look forward to seeing the wonderful creative and colorful inspiration she will be 
sharing with us for the next six months!
Welcome back
Sherri DeKnight Caramico
"My name is Sherri Caramico, I live in Northern New Jersey. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 34 years, and am the mother of 2 adult sons, and 2 young Portuguese Water Dogs. All of them are my favorite subjects! We love to travel and Disney Cruising and Disney Parks are our favorite way to vacation. I love meeting people, and enjoy photographing our journeys. I started scrapping late in my children's lives, ( about 12 years ago,) and I know I will never get "caught up." I'm okay with that, as I like to scrap what I "feel like" scrapping, and love lots of layers, textures and "stuff" on my pages.

I work full time in the corporate world and scrapbooking helps me to relax from a busy day, and get creative. It has helped me to meet so many people that I now call my true friends. I love going on weekend scrapbook retreats with my scrappy friends, and creating and laughing together late into the night! I enjoy sharing my work, and hope I inspire others to think outside the box and encourage them just try a new technique or product. I believe there is no right or wrong, no good or bad in scrapbooking - everyone has their own personal "art" inside them." Don't be afraid to find yours!"

Using this month;'s Tic Tac Toe Challenge as inspiration, 
Sherri created the super cute layout below...
"Puppy Love"
Sherrie:

"Happy 2017 everyone! This month, we have a Tic Tac Toe Stash Challenge, for your creative pleasure! Just pick any 3 blocks in a row, across, up and down, or diagonally, and use those items from your "stash" in your layout! This was lots of FUN, and I hope you join us and show us your creativity this month too!
I selected Paint/Mist, 5+ Patterned Papers and Twine, from the 3 left vertical blocks! 

In the photo are our 2 Portuguese Waterdogs, Valentino on the left, and Maggie on the right - laying nose to nose! I used lots of "stuff" from BoBunny's "Happy Tails" collection. The base page has been in my "stash" forever - the paw prints are raised and have a little glitter. 

Tino on the left is all black with a wavy coat. He is 2 years old. His "big sister" Maggie is black and white with a curly coat. She is 4 yrs old.
They love each other, although Maggie won’t always admit it, she still thinks Tino can be a typical pain in the tail little brother sometimes!
I hope you will play along with us this month at the Scrap Our Stash Blog! 

Wishing you and your family a very Happy and Healthy 2017, filled with ONLY Good "Stuff!"

((HUGS)) ~ Sherri

Introducing Returning Designer Cassie Wiscarson

Hi there!  
Thank you for stopping by to check out day three of our Design Team introductions.
 We are thrilled to have this talented designer returning to our team for another term..
Welcome back,
Cassie Wiscarson
"I am a stay at home mother to my 9 year old daughter and have been scrapbooking for around 13 years. My favorite part about scrapbooking is being able to show my creative side by working with a wide variety of products. I have had the pleasure of working on a few design teams and I love being able to share ideas with the others on the teams and learn new techniques from other scrapbookers. I use my layouts to share the memories of my family and enjoy being able to tell our story with paper, pictures, embellishments and journaling. At the beginning this was just a hobby, but over the years it has become a passion that I am able to share with my daughter and loving husband. I take great pride in my work and love to share my style with fellow scrappers!"


Today's beautiful inspiration was created by Cassie
inspired by the
January Tic Tac Toe Challenge

"Good Times"
Cassie:
"It is the first new challenge for Scrap Our Stash in 2017 and this one is a Tic Tac Toe challenge. I combined two tic tac toes to create this page. I used Mist, 5+ patterned papers, Twine, Paper Clip, and The Color Blue. When I go to start this type of challenge I first eliminate any blocks that I know I won’t use, in this case “winter theme” since I knew I didn’t have any printed winter pictures. I then grabbed my photo and started looking for paper and I ended up using blue, so I decided to do the bottom row. By the time I added some mist I noticed that I already had 5 patterned papers on my page for the two tic tac toes. I can’t wait to see how this challenge will inspire you!"

Here's a look at the challenge that inspired Cassie's incredible layout:
If you would like to play along for a chance at winning this month's prize,

Introducing Returning Designer Natsuko Suzuki

Hello and welcome to our second day of Design Team introductions.
We are excited to have another awesome talented designer return to our team.
Welcome back...
Natsuko Suzuki
"Hi everyone, I'm Natsuko from Japan. I've been scrapping for 7 years now, and I'm still deeply in love:) Most of my layouts include my loved ones especially my daughter who is now in 5th grade. Scrapbooking not only makes me happy but it's also very therapeutic.That's why I join workshops and events especially for moms. I love looking at other people's layouts too, by reading their blog or imagining what kind of story is hidden there. I love both colorful and shabby chic style. I don't want to limit myself so I'm not hesitant to try new techniques or style. I love travelling, taking pictures and meeting new people from all over the world (especially scrappers !!) It's such an honour to be a member of this team and I'm so excited !! Thank you xxx"


And for today's inspiration, Natsuko has created the amazing layout below inspired by the

"Cuddly Bears"
Natusko:
"Happy New Year!!!
A brand new challenge for a brand new year ♡
I chose the middle row down, DIE CUT, WINTER THEME and PAPER CLIP. 
I thought this collection from Crate Paper was perfect for this layout. I used white cardstock for the background and used a 12 inch bubble stencil and put light modeling paste and glitter on it. After drying it, I dabbed some paint. I love the texture and the shiny look (sorry it doesn't show much in the pictures). I machine stitched around the paper and decorated the edges with gold washi tape. 
You can see more details in http://natsukoslittlecraftroom.blogspot.jp/
Thank you ♡"
