Today we are featuring the incredible layout SOS Designer Cassie created

inspired by the

April Tic Tac Toe Challenge:

"I have really been loving these Tic Tac Toe challenges each month. This month I decided to use the right column. I started with 

Chevron Paper, Ephemera (I got the MOD sticker and the "Oregon's Gone Mod" postcard when we got dinner) and Thickers (second part of my title). 

I then added some embellishment to go with my fun papers and it all just "pops" off the wood grain background. 

can't wait to see which Tic Tac Toe you use!"

"Good morning and Surprise! 

I have a two-pager to share with you today! I could have just posted the right side to meet the challenge requirements, but who wants to see half a layout, right? This layout brought together several random photos that I didn't want to leave out of my Disney album. Doesn't every trip have those? Anyway, the tic-tac-toe row I went with includes Border Punch, Stitching, and the color Yellow. There actually was already hand-drawn zig-zag stitching on the journal card. I went over it with hand-stitching and extended it a bit!"

Here's  the board for April....

"My name is Joefil Cate. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I am married to a wonderful husband that encourages my scrapbooking. I have a 8 yrs. old daughter named Chelsey who is my inspiration! She is my favorite topic to scrapbook and I use her photos all the time. I started scrapbooking six years ago and fell in love with it right away. I am now officially addicted! I scrapbook whenever I feel like it which is a lot. I don’t really have a particular style ,I just love playing with different papers and trying new techniques, my projects always include layering, watercoloring, flower clustering and stitching. I get many good ideas from sketches and challenges online. I love the online challenges. 

I would love for you to visit and follow me at my blog at

GDT Joefil has created this stunning layout inspired by the challenge to get you motivated...

Joefil:

"I used the middle row (stitching, flowers, ephemera)

I started my page with white card stock, and a cut file from the cut shoppe. I used just be you collection, backing the cut file of patterned papers is so fun for me. I hand stitched the heart shape in the middle of the cut file.

I also used ephemera pack form the collection like the one I used for my title and some labels that I layers in the side of my photo. the flowers I used is also in the same collection I fussy cut some of the flowers and some is from the sticker sheets. Lastly I added some flower stamp and sequins."

Ruby Marchand

"Hi my name is Ruby Marchand. ( AKA Inspired Scrapper). I am retired and have a daughter, son and one very special Granddaughter Alyssa. My home is in London, Ontario Canada.

I have been scrapping and making cards for a very long time. My love for paper crafting started in 1995. Along with this hobby, I also did craft shows with flower and wood crafting. The show sales started to decline so I decided just to spend my time Scrap booking and Card-making. I still do some flower arranging and donate the items to a Cancer organization.

In 2007, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I just passed the 7 year survivor mark. During this tough time, I managed to make layouts and cards on my good days. By October that year I was able to send 250 cards to our troops overseas. This hobby helped me focus on something positive. I started to receive encouragement cards from paper crafters world wide . I treasure each and everyone. I simply love paper crafting.

I get inspiration from various sites on the web including Scrap Our Stash blog.

Love the social aspect of Scrapbooking and Card making. The challenges push me to complete my projects. Thanks for letting me share my layouts with you this month.

Below is Ruby's amazing take on our May Stash Challenge:

Here is what ruby shared about completing the challenge:

SOMETHING OLD:  I have used My Mind's Eye patterned papers. (Vintage Bliss)

SOMETHING NEW:  Ruffled sheer ribbon

SOMETHING FUSSY CUT:  MME doilies and Banners

SOMETHING BLUE: Titles, Banner, Camera,Organza Flower

Thank you Ruby for providing this beautiful inspiration and agreeing to be our May Guest Designer!

Now that we have provided a challenge and inspiration, along witht he chance to win an awesome prize from Scrapbook Circle, it is your torun to dig into your stash and link up something wonderful to share with us.
