Here's a little bit about  Michelle:

"I live in Albany on the North Shore of Auckland in New Zealand and I am currently blessed to be a SAHM to three amazing children, Liam aged 11, Taylor Grace aged 4 1/2 and Aimee Rose aged 3.  I am married to a fantastically supportive husband, Gary whom I have been with for almost half my life!!  I originally began scrapbooking when my eldest was about 2 years old so almost 9 years ago now when I did my first beginners class.  I can honestly say I was addicted from the minute I started - I just love being part of this industry — where I get to create a legacy of my family’s memories, indulge in creating with beautiful products as well as creating connections with like minded people from all over the world. 

I have been lucky to be on numerous design teams both in New Zealand and Internationally and I currently design for a challenge ning - Color Stories Inspiration and an Australian manufacturer - Cocoa Vanilla Studio.  When I am not scrapbooking I enjoy travelling, hanging out with my friends and family, drinking good coffee and spending time at our caravan at the beach.  

I am truly excited to be guest designing for Scrap Our Stash for June and I hope I can inspire you to take part in this month’s challenge.  Thank you so much for having me.”

Here is what  Michelle shares about her layout:

"I  just love taking part in challenges which use up my stash.  As like most scrapbookers - I do have a fair bit of that.  For this layout I was inspired by an Instagram photo of my daughter and her best friend at dancing together.  I love using lots of product on my layouts along with white space for balance - so I have included lots of layering and lots of words to portray my feelings about the photo I am scrapbooking and the girls cute bond at such a young age.  I was instantly drawn to using the colour Blue which was perfect for the word challenge.  I started off my layout with some pale blue mist and some hand drawn circles on some white cardstock and then I dug into my stash for some gorgeous products from Maggie Holmes, Dear Lizzy, Heidi Swapp and Freckled Fawn.  Finishing it off with some sequins to add some interest.

B - The colour blue

R - Round circles drawn on my layout

A - Arrows

D - doily/doodling

S - Stickers, sequins, stamping"
