Carole Wright

"Hi everyone my name is Caroleanne, I live near the beach in Dorset, England and I am a wife to Phillip my lovely husband and mother to a beautiful daughter, Jessie. Who I mostly scrap! We also have a little white bichon called Millie.

I have been into crafting since an early age and have tried most things, I did fashion design at college and now this is my artistic outlet.

I also love photography and mostly take photos just to scrap! Mostly of my daughter!

I love playing with paper, paint, ink, glue, scissors etc. I love making cards, layouts and off the page projects.

I am passionate about craft, scrapbooking and card making, am addicted and cannot stop!!!

I am happiest in my craft room with paper, stamps, glue, scissors etc.

My style is girly, pretty, sometimes shabby chic and always flowery. (I have become known for my flowery style).

I love to layer, distress, paint, sew, mask, stamp and generally have lots of fun!

I also love to post step-by-step tutorials and I always give clear instructions on my work.

I love scrapbooking as it is a way to preserve our memories for the future, I am really excited to be on the Scrap Our Stash Team.

Bye for now from Caroleanne"

Carole's Blog:  The Pretty Paper Patisserie

Carole we are excited to have you on our team and looking forward to the awesome inspiration you will be sharing with us!  

For today's inspiration, Carole has created this awesome masculine page, inspired by our
July Stash Challenge:

"Awesome"

Carole:

Wow I am so excited and honored to be a part of this fab team. Here is my first layout. I loved this challenge, it helps you think outside the box! My pages are usually very girly and flowery, I am not used to doing masculine type layouts, so I really challenged myself on this one. I wanted to add more, but sometimes less is more as they say!! I hope you like it. 

So, without further ado, here's how I did this page and this is what I used.

P is for Paper Clip,

 H is for Hessian 

O is for Oval

 T is for Tag 

O is Ocean Boat Blue Cardstock

S is for Stamping (around the page).

For full instructions and a list of products I used, please go to my blog. http://theprettypaperpatisserie.blogspot.co.uk/"

Okay we have introduced all of our team members for this term, and each has created a layout based on our July Stash Challenge and shared with you!
So there you have it, a challenge, inspiration and a wonderful prize for motivation!
We would love for you to take the challenge and show us what's hiding and/or buried in your stash.
Or what new stash item have you purchased and just dying to use...if it is something you can use to meet the requirements of the challenge....go for it.
We would love to see your take on our challenge!

Tomorrow we will be revealing our July Sketch Challenge as well as introducing our July Sketch Artist to you.  Make sure you stop by, you will be inspired!!!!

My favorite subjects are my daughters, but love to scrap about anything and everything!"

July Stash Challenge

Join with us in extending a warm welcome back to returning designer

Becky Springer

"I live in Portland, Oregon with my partner, Jayden, and our two french bulldogs. 

By day I'm a college instructor and adviser for at-risk youth. I have always been artistically inclined, drawing and painting from a young age and taking art classes throughout school. I discovered scrapbooking in 2005, but then my focus turned to other forms of creativity, such as quilting and embroidery. After taking an art journaling class this past year, I discovered mixed media and reclaimed my love of paper crafting. It sparked a renewed passion in all things scrapbooking and I happily discovered a community of like-minded folks. My approach to the craft feels different this time around, as it's messier, less refined, and more expressive. Now I'm dreaming in color, imagining new layouts, playing outside the lines, and making time for art journaling, card making, and scrapbooking every chance I get." 

Becky's Blog: Heartstrings and Lovely Things

Becky we are excited to have you  design with us for another term.  We are definitely looking forward to all of the awesome, colorful inspiration and creations you will be sharing with us!

Take a look at Becky's bright and cheerful layout she created to share with us:

Love Wins!

Becky:

"I was pleasantly surprised to see how well my rainbowed Facebook profile photo printed and I knew I wanted to incorporate it into a layout. I enlarged and welded the background flowers together with my cameo before die cutting them on white cardstock. I wanted a watercolor effect so I painted the flowers with clear gesso. Then, I used an array of inks and mists applied liberally in some areas and lighter in others. I dug through my stash to find patterned papers to match each color. I die cut the small petals and randomly taped them behind the flowers. I finished with ink splatters and embellishments that corresponded to each color. 

The items I used from my stash to represent PHOTO:

P - Purple flower, paper, enamel dots, and ink

H - Heidi Swapp color shine ink 

O - Orange flower, paper, enamel dots, and ink 

T - Tag, ticket 

O - Odd number of photos (1)"

Hello!

Back today introducing you to another talented Design Team member.
Our next designer is not only celebrating her return to the team but also celebrating her birthday today
Happy Birthday and welcome back 

Patricia Barnett

"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!"

Happy Monday!

This week we are continuing with our Design Team Introductions!

Meet talented designer and new member to our team

Rachelle Olaridge

"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.

Rachelle's Blog:  Scrapbooking and Crafts 24*7 ~ 365

"Beautiful Day"

Rachelle:

"I am really excited and honored to be sharing my first layout for this fantastic challenge and site. I went with a shabby chic style and a bit of elegance to create this my friend's wedding day layout. I used soft pastel colors, mixed media, distressing and inking. I added chipboard, resin elements and white metal for an added touch.

For is page I chose:

Design Team Introduction ~ Sherri Caramico

Good morning!

It's our fourth day of Design Team introductions!  

Join us in extending a warm welcome to talented designer

Sherri Caramico

"My name is Sherri Caramico, I live in Northern New Jersey. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 32 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 10 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 teach classes at my Local Scrapbook Store and I enjoy inspiring 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 - everyone has their own personal "art" inside them."

SPECIAL MENTION: Selected for a Heart Healthy Video for Cheerios.com about my “Passion for Scrapbooking” you can view it on You Tube “Precious Memories – Sherri” and see some of my work. (If you click on CHEERIOS tag on my blog, you can find out how this came about) It was filmed at Scrap-a-Doodle Doo too! Here is the link to the video from 2010."

Sherri we are excited to have you on our team and looking forward to the awesome creations you will create to share with us,  inspired by our challenges!

And now take a look at the wonderful inspiraiton Sherri created inspired by our 

July Stash Challenge

"Shutter Bug"

Sherri:

"For this challenge, I selected a photo that I took on our recent Disney Cruise to Alaska. There are these really cool super duper large porthole windows on Deck 3 of The Disney Wonder, that have a padded seat in them, just outside of the Adult Night Club area. We happened to be waiting there to play a game of Trivia or participate in a Mixology Class or something like that. When I saw my husband and 2 sons sitting there in the shadow of the windows, I just had to take a picture!! I knew that the Mama Razzi2 Collection would be just perfect for it too!

Here are the items used for the Challenge from my Stash:

P – Punch / Peacock Feathers Distress Stain

H – Hemp / Heart

O - Oval Brad

T – Tag / Twine / Tape (Washi)

Tanti K

Tanti welcome back!   We are very excited and honored to have you designing with us for another term.  We are looking forward to seeing more of your amazing work inspired by our challenges for the next six month!

"Hi scrappers,

my name is Tanti.

I was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia.

In 1994 I went to Germany for my studies. There I met my husband, so I stayed for good. Nowadays I'm a stay at home mom of two wonderful kids.

I speak indonesian, german and english.

I've been papercrafting since I was at school.

15 years ago I started making cards for my friends and family.

2009 I fell in love with scrapbooking and I'm addicted to it since I made a vintage mini album for my mother in law.

I love working with transparency and vellum. I like creating homemade embellishments on most of my projects. My style is clean and colourful but I do also layering and splashing. Besides scrapbook pages I also love to make cards, mini albums and altered items.

I'm so excited that I could be here again for another term.

Thank you Brenda and Rochelle for letting me stay in your team.

You can see more of my creations on my blog:

TantiK Creation

or on my Facebook page"

July Stash Challenge

I sleep very little and work so much with great satisfaction, my hands never stop working!

My relaxation is my hobby.

I started with decoupage in the nineties, passing through the lovely world of doll houses, to arrive (and never stop!) at scrapbooking and mixed media in 2009."

Design Team Introduction ~ Steffanie Seiler

Hello and welcome to day one of our New Design Team Introductions!

As always, Scrap Our Stash has been blessed with another amazing team of talented designers with various scrapbooking styles!

 During the next two weeks, we will introduce a designer from our new team, each day along 

with their first reveal for this term. 

Be sure you check out each of their blogs to be further inspired!

Our first designer is celebrating her third term as a designer with Scrap Our Stash!
Say hello to
Steffanie Seiler

Welcome back Steffanie!   

We are thrilled and looking forward to the inspiration you will be creating inspired by our challenges for the next six months!

"Hi! My name is Steffanie. I started scrapbooking when my oldest son was a baby---he's now 15! I also have another son who is 10. These two are my primary scrapbook subjects in addition to a golden retriever puppy, a calico kitty and, of course, everyday life. 

In the early days, I was definitely a flat, non-lumpy-bumpy scrapper---I now can't imagine scrapping that way. Although I don't really dabble much in mixed media, I do need to have layers and dimension on my pages. I think I have a pretty good eye for color, balance and details. I like clean lines and don't really do messy. 

My husband and I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest region of the United States. My favorite season is summer. I like coffee, chocolate, pizza and wine (among other things!). Besides scrapbooking, I enjoy running and just being outdoors. I am an RN and work very part-time so that I can spend most days being home fulfilling my role as wife and mom...and have plenty of time for scrapbooking, of course!"

Steffanie's Blog: Glimpses of Life from a Brown Eyed Girl

Today Steffanie has created this awesome Disney page to share with us:

"Magical"

Steffanie:

"I know I have said it before but I really enjoy these word/stash challenges. I think it's kind of fun---and challenging at times!---trying to find creative ways to incorporate each letter item into my layout. 

Here is what I chose for this page:

P - pictures, punches, polka dot, pink, princess castle

H - heart (wood), handwriting

We are not featuring a Guest Designer this month, so we are going to double up on
today's inspiration provided by the
 Scrap Our Stash Admin Team:

"#Bday Selfie Shoot"

Brenda:

"These are not the greatest photos, because I am "Selfie Challenged" but wanted to make sure I got a photo or two to document my special day and being on a mini vacay with  only me, myself, and I, 

"I" was the photographer! 

My layout was created using product from the 

The ScrapRoom's July Doutble Shot Kit 

which as you can see was a  perfect choice for a selfie shoot!

To complete the stash challenge, I used the following items:

P ~ Punch, Pink Sticker

H ~ Hashtag

O ~ Orange Sticker

T ~ Twine, Tag, Tab

O ~ Oval (camera lens in patterned paper)

S ~ Stitching (faux zigzig), Selfie sticker, Sequins"

"A Boy's First Hero Is His Daddy"

Rochelle:

"For this layout I used a sketch from Stuck?! Sketches for inspiration. I was happy to use scraps from an old Echo Park collection - YES! I love it when I use up my stash!!! :)

So for the Stash challenge, here are the items I used for - PHOTOS:

P - Paper clip

H - #hashtag

O - Oval (journal sticker)

T - Tag, Twine and Thickers

O - Overlay (over photo)

S - Stencil and Stitching"

Hopefully you are inspired by the challenge and/or today's inspiration  and will get creative and show us what you have in your stash using the letters in the word PHOTO!
