May Flower Challenge by Kathryn

Design Team Member Kathryn submitted this layout for the May Flower Challenge. She said:


I am really, really super, super pleased to be on the DT for Scrap Our Stash Challenge!!! Scrapbooking is a huge part of my life and I love being challenged to really use up my stash. Like many of us, I am sure, I buy way too much stuff and I need to be pushed to actually use it!! For the May challenge it was great to be able to use some of the jars of flowers I have gathered over the last few years, especially the purple ones. I love purple and I have a big kilner jar full of purple flowers, but I never seem to need that colour. The photo I have used this time was perfect though and I have gone to town! This is Emma at 2 years wearing my sunglasses on holiday. Sadly, as she gets older the willingness to pose for photos is receding rapidly!
Recipe:
Bazzill leaf embossed cardstock. I have painted a frame around the background to break up the empty space using willow and lettuce Adirondack dabber paints. I painted it in quite a slapdash way so it didn’t look too precise. · The papers are off cuts of Basic Grey Euphoria papers arranged so they are peeping out from behind the photo, and the edges inked with versa magic purple hydrangea ink. · The flowers are a mixture of Petaloo, Prima leaves (love these, on my second packet) and some lovely purple Iris flowers and roses. I have then added coordinating buttons and some bling gem flowers and a Rockstar gem title. Hope you like!

May Flowers Challenge by Sue

This challenge was the perfect opportunity to play with my stash from Little Yellow Bicycle's Twig Collection and create a fun layout about the Signs of Spring. Journaling reads: "When we see and hear the Canadian geese, we know that warmer weather is just around the corner!"

Eight flowers pop off the page in this row.......

Two chipboard flowers balance the design.......

Three smaller flowers add interest around the title.......

And one flowered brad sits on top of my journaling. That's a a total of 14 flowers!

May Flowers Challenge by Sarah

I managed to find a flower, woot!I was all pumped to try this challenge but realized quite quickly...
I have very, very few flowers in my Stash.
I have 4 boys, we Steampunk and I'm NOT a girly-girl... so I barely, if ever, get the opportunity (or think) to use them.Now gears, tools and other rusty things... those I got! lol
But here goes, I made a 2 page LO for my (recent) 36th Birthday.
Paper is all The Paper Company.
Inked with Stampin' Up! spots.
Bling from the $ store, sliced and separated over the 2 pages.
36 was cut with the SLICE (think pink).
Re-used Birthday Card, Front & Inside.
...and my 1 lone flower from Prima.
