"Feeling the Love" LO by DT Tracy

It's time for Saturday's inspiration!

DT Tracy is sharing her layout to inspire you today:

This is what Tracy shares about her layout:

"Oh yes, I feel the love... 100%!!  

I'm one proud momma!

I know I always say this but I'm going to say it again... I just LOVE these stash challenges! They really motivate you to use up your stash and we all have a scrappy stash to dig into.

I dug into my February scrapbook kit from Gossamer Blue for this challenge and used up some leftover paper scraps. For my chevron look I punched out squares and cut them diagonally in half, placing them accordingly. Finished up by adding a title, some ribbon and mist splatters. To fully complete this challenge I used:

B - brads

R - ribbon

A - alpha tile stickers

D - diecuts

S - scrap paper, splatters

Thanks so much for giving me some of your time here at Scrap Our Stash! I hope I've inspired you in some way to join in with us! Please stop by to visit me anytime!

"Kaua'i" LO by DT Becky

Hello!! 

Today our DT Becky inspires us today with this loving layout:

Here's what Becky had to say about her layout:

"These photos are from my recent vacation to an island I've grown to love. It's rare that I scrap photos that I've taken so recently, but the Instax camera makes it easier. Now if only I could figure out the light settings, as I've wasted a bunch of (pricey) film. My favorite detail of this layout is the doily, which my partner grabbed while we were packing and said, "Think you could use this for your scrapbooking?" Yes! I love incorporating items from my adventures into the layout itself.  

The goodies I used from my stash were the following: 

B: Black thread, Brandi ONeill (Websters Pages) paper

R: Ranger archival ink pad

A: Arrows

D: Doily

S: Stitching, staples, stamp, Serendipity (Dear Lizzy) paper"

"Enjoy This Moment" LO by DT Nicole

Happy Monday! :) 

We are going to start of this week with some fabulous inspiration from our DT Nicole:

Nicole shares this about her layout:

"This layout is of my mom and her partner. I decided to dig deep into my stash and use this old collection from Echo Park called 'For the Record 2'. For the B-R-A-D stash challenge, I used the following specific items... B is for Butterfly. I used a sticker which I lined with cardstock and popped up with a 3D foam square. You can see another butterfly on the brad next to the word 'today'. R is for Rhinestones. I added a full strip of black rhinestones on the left edge of my layout as well as a few others on the right of the picture and as adornment for the butterfly sticker. A is for Alpha Stickers which I lined up on strips of cardstock to create a long title. D is for Doilies. I didn't use real doilies but I used the chipboard ones from Echo Park. This shabby chic scrappy girl loves any type of doilies! And, finally, S is for some Scalloped borders which I created with a border punch from EK Success. This, sadly, will be my last Stash challenge as part of the Scrap Our Stash DT, but I am looking forward to playing along with future challenges as they are so much fun. Come back on the 22nd when I share with you my last SOS Sketch DT Reveal. In the meantime, you can visit my blog to see more of my creations at http://scrap-utopia.blogspot.com/"

June Guest Designer

Michelle Whorwood

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.”

Check out this beautiful layout Michelle created inspired by our June Stash Challenge:

here are some close ups:

 

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"

Thank you so much Michelle for agreeing to be our June Guest Designer and providing us with such wonderful inspiration!  We are thrilled and appreciate you being here!

June Stash Challenge inspiration from a member of our Design Team. :) 

"Um-Um Good" LO By Brenda R.

Our last inspiration for "All About Our Guys" challenge come from Brenda R.  Look at how cute her layout came out using Basic Grey papers! She did an awesome job on the paint spatters and rings and made great use of her brads throughout her layout. Take a look:

This is what Brenda said about her layout, "This was an awesome challenge for me for several reasons: (1) I love scrapping photos of the lil guys in my family (2) Months ago I purchased this BG collection with all the matching embellies and have only completed one layout with it. (3) I used brads, which is one item in my stash that I always forget to use. The brads used were part of the matching embellies for this collection, which made putting this layout together, easy! Combined with a few paint splatters and twine, I am pleased with the "GUY" page I created. Looking forward to seeing everyones cool "guy" pages and how you use your stash of brads!"

Our next challenge will be up soon but don't forget that you have until June 29th to complete this challenge and upload it to the sidebar.  

Be looking out for our Design Team Announcement too!! :) 

"Boy Rules" LO By DT Wendy K.

Wendy shares with us a double page layout she created of her nephew!  What a great "guy" layout! Love the tire marks and the brads in the wheels... how creative! Take a look:

Wendy had this to say about here layout: "With three girls I don't do masculine very well or very often but it's fun to do every once in awhile for a something different. When I was looking through pictures and came across these of my nephew I knew exactly what I would do with them. I added brads to the wheels of the truck and mixed other metal embellishments on the layout. I often have 4 pictures for a layout and can get stuck on the design. These pictures worked well to overlap between the two pages."

"Our Guy" LO by DT Haley

Haley brings us another double page layout! :) Check out how she used her brads from her stash  throughout her layout.

Here is what Haley had to say about her layout, "My husband grew a beard and mustache this winter to mixed reviews from family and friends! He just shaved it off with the onset of warmer weather, so I couldn't resist immortalizing the beard in this layout all about our favorite guy. All of my supplies are from Close To My Heart, and it's a mix of old and new. The layout sketch is from the "Imagine" how-to guide (retired). I used the new Surf's Up paper pack, but the brads, the metal embellishments, and the sassy strands are all retired. If you look closely, you can see that I distressed the edges of my photos and my Outdoor Denim card stock with a sanding block. I used Cashmere ink to distress the Colonial White card stock to give the layout more texture."

"Brothers" LO by DT Heather G.

Today Heather brings us wonderful inspiration with this totally "Guy" layout!!!  Love the collection she used and the border punches.  She also did a great job using up her brads by creating a border along side her paper.   Check it out:

Heather said, "Triplet boys . . . who ever would have thought that as one of 3 girls growing up that I would end up with triplet boys? Legos, hot wheels, dinosaurs, and most importantly, SUPERHEROES!!! I love these Guys soooo much!!! Pun intended . . . our last name is GUY! Lol"

Thank you to all who applied for the Design Team Call. We will be announcing our new team real soon! :) 

"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" LO By DT Tamara

Tamara shares with us a great page she did about her son sharing a evening with his Nana.  She did a great job incorporating her brads throughout her page.

Tamara said: "A night out with "Nana" to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It was a very fun show for my little nine year old, he makes a great I love this guy page! I used We R Memory Keepers for my background paper. Added some ribbon and rick rack as well as a journaling card. Brads are around the flower under the third picture as well as all of the flower centers."

Today is the last day of our Design Team Call.  We will be announcing our new team soon! :) 

"Casa Mila" LO By DT Charlotta

Today's inspiration comes from Charlotta! Look at her awesome layout with lots of beautiful color and masking.  Love how she incorporated different size brads throughout her layout. Take a look:

Charlotta said this about her layout, "I created this layout just days after an amazing workshop with lovely Amy Tangeringe in Barcelona, so I used scraps from her American Crafts collection (left from the projects), a Mr. Huey stencil and several spraycolours. Finally, at least 9 brads from my stash. That's when I found out I have almost only pink and purple brads... Good luck in creating for, or with, your boys!"

Lets how you use your brads! :)

"Brothers" LO by Sarah

Happy Saturday! Today we have this awesome layout from Sarah.  She did a fantastic job on the background of this layout.  Read below to find out how she use mist and paint to create this layout!

Sarah said this about here layout:

 Boys... My Boyz... are goofs!

Have been waiting to do something with these pictures and, yet again, perfect SOS theme!

Every year we go the last-ish week in November to have Family Holiday photos taken, they know us there... and so they indulge us 'frolicking' a wee bit. Which means some awesome outtakes! Really my eldest, Arthur, should have known better... be careful what you do when your Mother scrapbooks. 

Background is Kraft paper on which I sprayed some Tattered Angels spray over a polka-dot stencil, flipping it around a few times. Then I sponged light green and blue paint through 2 sizes of punchinella (sequin waste) also flipping it around and squishing all the last bits off with a brayer so as not to waste the paint. My Brads are hard to see but each boy's picture has their 1st initial in a Letter Brad and also the line of orange dots marching down the middle of the page. 

I also tacked an 'S' on the end of the title (Chatter Box) to make it 100% authentic boyS.

Titles are My Mind's Eye Bohemia Rub-Ons.

Pattern Paper strip is leftover Fancy Pants Halloween paper.

Chipboard elements are all Basic Grey: Oliver.

Dimensional Pebble is from Prima. 

Orange Brads are BoBunny.

Letter Brads are from the $ store. 

Inks are Stampin' Up!

Pen is black Sharpie PEN.

"Super Star" LO by Lindsey

Today we have wonderful inspiration from Lindsey!  She did a fantastic job with the star brads! Great way to use your stash!!!  

Lindsey said, " So I went a little starry on the page. Once I found that old Cherry Arte, I just had to! He's my star, what can I say? I have so much trouble scrapping professional photos for some reason, so I ran away with the stars. The only small stars I had multiples of were eyelets and I didn't care for the holes. So I slipped brads through the eyelets holes, and voila! Starry brads. 

Thanks for looking - more on this layout at

Stop by tomorrow to see what DT Sarah brings us! :)

"Waiting for Dad" LO by DT Michelle

Take a look at today's inspiration from DT Michelle.  Michelle really used her stash on this layout and did a great job with her rubons!  

Michelle said, "The Heart just works all around (original title of this challenge/love for Daddy) piece was in my scrap stash and matched! Used a bunch of rub-ons I had in my stash and journaling reads:Here you were waiting for Dad to get home. You pulled the chair over "I DO" by yourself and set up your post for Dad's arrival home!"
