June Something Challenge by Kathryn

Design Team Member Kathryn submitted this project for the June Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue Challenge. She said:

This is a really lovely theme for June, I have really enjoyed thinking about all the different items to put onto this project. I have made an altered item project this time, instead of a scrapbook page. I’ve had this box, which I bought at a car boot sale ages ago and I have just not got around to doing anything with it yet, except for putting all my buttons into it. This is my ‘Something Old’ of course! The papers I have used to decorate it are Prima (‘Something New!’) and are really very pretty, I couldn’t resist them. That is my weakness, I have boxes of paper I couldn’t resist that are still now just sitting there! The flowers, vines, bird and corner are cut using the Tim Hotlz tattered florals die and some lovely Marrianne Design dies. The bird, butterflies and the lace coloured with a Versa magic ink are my ‘Something Blue’ of course! The paint is a mixture of Salmon and Watermelon Ranger Dabbers. The only thing I have not included is ‘Something Borrowed’, as I couldn’t see how I could borrow something, stick it onto my project and then give it back. I could have borrowed a die or a stamp of course, but I didn’t think that far ahead at the time!

Design Team Member Karen submitted this layout for the June Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue Challenge.  She said:

I decided to use the challenge name as the title of my LO- I started trying to use things on my LO that fitted as well but only got as far as old and new (bits of paper) I didn't have anything to borrow and I didn't want to add anything blue to the LO but it did give me a chance to journal about my old, new, borrowed and blue things from my wedding.  The journalling reads:
My something old was a handkerchief that Joan was given as a wedding gift in 1946 when she married Dick and left for the US. She sent it back for me to use on my wedding day- I tucked it into my bra! My new was my dress, veil, shoes etc.. I borrowed some pearls from my Godmother Christine, my Mum's best friend and my something blue was a tiny ribbon flower that I sewed inside the hem of my dress - I was not a girl for garters. 27 March 1999 Sandridge.

June Something Challenge by Mary Pat Siehl

Hi Everyone,
The June challenge was so much fun! The theme for this month is Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue.   At first I was stumped  so I went to my lss and went shopping for Somthing New.  I found it right away the new line from My Minds Eye Key Lime Twist.  Love this paper!  Then I went home to shop in my stash to find something old.  My something old and blue was my blue cardstock.  I bought this cardstock back when QVC sold huge packs of Bazzill.  I used my Silhouette to cut the sun and the clouds.  I wanted to ink my clouds with a grey  and light blue ink but my Tim Holtz distress ink in Pumice was dried out--( I think my 5 year old got into it and didn't put the lid back on).  So at my crop I borrowed some grey ink to blend into my clouds.  Here is the end result. 

If you would like to get a closer look Please feel free to stop by my blog: Siehled With A Kiss.


This was another fun and challenging challenge and  now it's your turn to take the June Challenge. See all the details HERE! Be sure to scroll down the page - Scrap Our Stash posts something new everyday.

Pagerize Lea by Wendy C.

Guest Design Team Member Wendy submitted "Just Dance" for the Pagerize This Challenge #10. She said:


I chose to pagerize Lea's color combination for my page. I love all the bright pinks and blues. I added a pop of black by coloring a chipboard frame with some markers. I also added some blue and pink Stickles around the edges of the photo. I found this mish mash of flowers in the stash and added a mix of different black brads. :)

June Something Challenge by Wendy K.

Design Team Member Wendy K submitted this layout for the June Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed Something Blue Challenge.  She said:

I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this challenge, or at least the pictures I planned to use. The BLUE dress is OLD and BORROWED for my beautiful NEW baby. Let me tell you, I just love it when things work out like I envision them! I wanted a soft, elegant feel to my layout with these photos. I found the perfect paper to match her dress (made me dig through my stash!) and everything else just fell into place after that. I used some NEW paper (an unopened pack anyway!) and combined that with some OLD embellishments in my stash. You can see all the details on My Scrapbooking Blog.

Family first in my list of loves and then... I love the outdoors, the ocean, whales, scrapbooking, and working with a torch. Books rank pretty high as well!

Meet Guest Design Team Member Wendy Crowe

My name is Wendy Crowe and I have been a happy scrapper for almost 13 years now. My main subjects are my 3 great kids and my understanding and patient hubby of 14 years. I am a full time administrative assistant and scrapping is my daily escape. To me, everything in life is one big photo op, as long as we are having fun. I love reliving all those great moments with my family when I am working on new pages. I try to keep my style clean and simple, but I love trying new ideas and techniques. I'll try anything once...or twice. I find inspiration everywhere and I am so glad to have lots of friends who are willing to share my passion for this hobby.
Thanks again for the great opportunity to share my hobby with you!

Meet Guest Design Team Member Holly

Hello, I’m Holly and it’s a great honour to be a guest designer for Scrap Our Stash.


I’m from Queensland, Australia and recently married my partner of 9 years, hence the many wedding themed layouts I have been creating lately. We share our home with two cats, Felix and Villain, who keep us busy until the day comes that we have children.


I started scrapbooking a couple of years ago after a European holiday with some very flat, basic pages. It was not until I started blogging did I realize there was a whole new world of dimension and scrappy tools out there. My stash has since increased at an alarming rate. I get inspiration from my wonderful husband and family, with 9 niece and nephews. I scrapbook mostly every day, as its a good stress relief from my other life – working as a full time psychologist in a correctional center. I also needed my own creative outlet, to keep me busy when my husband is off pursuing his own creative outlet as a guitarist for a band. However, he now tells me my hobby takes up far more time than his does! Oops!


If you want to come visit me to find out more, my blog is : http://harmonydiy.blogspot.com


Thanks for having me as a guest DT and I look forward to seeing everyone else’s lovely creations.

May Flower Challenge by Colleen

Reader Colleen submitted this layout for the May Flower Challenge. She said:

I made the background using paint and a comb and a punch for the borders. The flowers are made from triangles, just folded and glued in place.

This was a challenge I created for Sisterhood of Scrap where you could use ONLY scissors in place of cutting shears, a punch instead of a hoe and a comb instead of a rake. It was a fun challenge and I loved making the flowers. Thanks for looking.

May Flower Challenge by Christy

Design Team Member Chrity submitted another layout for the May Flower Challenge.  She said: 

As you may remember, earlier this month, I completed the flower challenge with some unusual flowers on a Halloween Layout.  I am a bit flower challenged because I mainly scrap my son and my husband. So, I get a bit creative when it comes to certain embellishments. Anyhow, I just had to share this flower page I just made. After all, it's such a fun thing to break out of the usual mold for me with a little pink, some flowers and butterflies.

P.S. if you peek closely at the butterflies, their antennae are made with wire which I hand curled and adhered with glossy accents.

May Flower Challenge by Ren-Yi

The irony with flowers is, I love them a lot. But they don't appear in any of my projects, unless I stamp them, or create them from scratch by abusing my balloon die...so, what's really going on?




Thankfully, Kathy tasked us to use flowers from our stash. I have plenty and am not sure I made a noticeable dent...but it looks like a cute bouquet.



Well, I would love to hear inspiration on how you use your flowers. I could use a few inspiration pointers. And who knows, maybe I'll send a random commenter on this blog post a random assortment of flowers ;)

So, come join in on our Scrap Our Stash's May challenge. You have a few more days to enter - and there is a long weekend ahead :)

May Flower Challenge by Lisa

Reader Lisa submitted yet another project for the May Flower Challenge. She said:

Hi ,
It's me again , I have been having so much fun doing projects with what I have laying around.This is the latest. I had these adorable photos of my granddaughter at my youngest daughter's wedding,( this was the first time she met a little one like her, it was the groom's nephew). I suddenly became inspired by this older paper I had from kaisercraft. I also used the new die from Die-namics to make the flowers. It's amazing what you can do with distress inks and white cardstock. Hope you like it.

May Challenge by Wendy K.

Honestly, I have more flowers in my stash than I know what to do with. Lucky for me I have 3 girls! I use flowers on so many of my pages that this challenge should have been a breeze. So why was I so stumped? Because I didn't want to do just anything, I wanted it to be something different. We bought $1 flip flops the other day at Michael's (yeah, we'll see how long they last!) and Christine wanted to decorate hers. So what did we add but flowers of course! Here they are:See all the details HERE!

Pagerize Lea by Kathy

I love Lea's Pagerize This Challenge # 10.   I  knew I wanted to pagerize it. But how? So I decided to dump this jar of "random stuff" and use only things from the jar as my Random design on the right hand side of the page. I used only "random stuff" that I had. Thus the random fonts ect. It's hard to tell from the picture - but the title came from the fact that the Little Princess is wearing her cowboy (or should I say cowgirl) boots.
