"Heart to Heart" Layout by DT Elena

It's a terrific Tuesday at Scrap Our Stash!
Check out DT Elena's fantastic take on our
February Sketch Challenge:

Elena shared this about the challenge and her reveal:

"The hearts in the sketch combined with the color palette made me think of a spring wedding, so I decided to use my wedding photos even though I got married in December!

I created a very thick page using ALL the scraps from a single collection from which I used to create a mini album previously."

Here is a look at this month's sketch and the color palette.

"You Two Make My Heart Complete" Layout by DT Steffanie

Happy Monday!
Today we are featuring an adorable layout created by DT Steffanie, inspired by our
February Sketch Challenge:

Here is what Steffanie shared about the challenge and her reveal:

"I found the sketch very easy to work with....the color palette, a little more challenging. Thank goodness I had this collection from Echo Park in my stash that had been untouched until now! I found the colors on the pastel side which is definitley not my comfort zone. But, I pulled out some kraft cardstock and just remembered that this layout is about my boys and my love for them. I doesn't matter if they like the hearts & love theme, right?"

Inspired by Steffanie's layout, the design and/or colors?
Here is the sketch and color combo you are required to take inspiration from this month:

"I just love these stash challenges. They really get me digging through my stash to use up and it's so fun, and quite challenging too, creating this way.

For this layout I used all paper scraps except for the background paper and these wood frames have been sitting around for way too long and I was determined to use them up. Just add paint and look what happens. I love how it turned out! To complete this challenge my items used are:

W - wood, washi tape

A - acrylic paint (frames)

S - stickles (around butterflies)

H - heart buttons

I - ink (journaling)

Now it's your turn to join in!

"Little Beggars" LO by DT Becky

Hello! Happy Wednesday!!

 Today our DT member Becky is inspiring us with this beautiful layout:

 Here's what Becky said about her layout:

"Both dogs sitting patiently next to each other and looking in the same direction means there must be food involved. Some layouts come together easily and this was definitely one of those. I chose to make the photo black and white given that I added so many patterned papers behind it. The layered the half circles around the photo are my favorite part. For W-A-S-H-I, I used: wood veneer, alphas, stitching, hearts, and ink."

"me, Myself & I" Layout by DT Nicole

Hello! 

 Today's wonderful inspiration is brought to you by our DT member Nicole:

 Here's what Nicole shares with us:

"For this challenge, I decided to go down to basics, that means, create a layout all about ME! I used an older collection from Pink Paislee 'Indigo Bleu' and had fun finding embellishments to go with the W-A-S-H-I challenge. W is for wood veneer (flags, heart and camera) from Teresa Collins. I also added wooden buttons. A is for the ampersand that I included in my title. I love the look of a big ampersand on any layout! S is for stitching. Anyone familiar with my style know that I normally add handmade stitching on most of my layouts. Well, I went all out with this one, stitching along all the vertical lines on the Pink Paislee background paper. H is for heart which I found in a die-cut shade from the Indigo Bleu collection and of course the wood veneer. I is for, well, ME! It's a layout about me and the letter "I" was inspiration for the theme. If you want to see details, visit me at http://scrap-utopia.blogspot.com/"

 Hello Crafters!!

 Today DT member Elena is sharing with us her lovely layout:

Here's some close ups:

Elena said this about her layout:

"A trip along Route 66 -- you must stop at Cadillac Ranch, a very suggestive place...the colorful graffiti on cars are cool and stands out to the desert around.  The beauty is that every person who comes can make a mark so every day you'll see a different scene!  When I was there in 2008 there was an Italian bikers group who were coloring a whole car with gold!  Who knows if it is still there!

The items I used for the WASHI stash challenge are:

Washi (tape)

Arrow

Stamps (staples too!)

Heart

Ink"

"We're Finally Here" Layout by DT Steffanie

 Happy Monday!!

Today's inspiration is brought to you by our fabulous DT member Steffanie:

 Here's what Steffanie shares with us:

"As you can see, I'm still working on those Disney photos. This is just one photo so not making a big dent in the pile with this layout. Oh well...it's all about the creativity, right? And I love scrapping my Disney pages!

I pulled out lots of small elements to make up the letters for this challenge.

Here is what I came up with:

W - washi tape, (of course!)

A - arrows and assorted alphabets

S- stars

H- hearts

I - ink pens in black and white for outlining

Normally I ink the edges of everything (which would have been another supply starting with "I"), but I decided to distress the edges of my papers with scissors instead. Every once in a while you need to change things up a bit."
