"Water Fun" by Rochelle

Looking for DT CALL? Click HERE.

Hello!

Today I bring to you my layout for May Sketch #14:

Creating my own background is always so much fun! I don't do it as much as I would like to, but I love it! I started with mist sprays. Then used a Crafter's Workshop chevron stencil with ink. After, I added the little triangles with a rolling stamp by Glitz. I added the think black circles using a lid of a sugar jar. For my finishing touch, I doodled around the page. :)

 Again, here is the sketch:

Well, this month is coming to an end!  Make sure you come by on the 31st to see who made the top 3 and who is the winner of this month's sponsored prize!

Thank you The Scrapbok Circle for Sponsoring

"Books" LO by DT Megan!

Hello Crafters! 

Today's gorgeous inspiration comes from our DT Megan:

Here's what Megan said about her layout: 

"For my layout, I ended up flipping the sketch and making a column of pictures to the left. For my title, I laid out Heidi Swapp letter masks (that have been in my stash for quite awhile!) and colored over the letters with an ink dauber. I also used a circle star mask on three spots on my layout. I sprayed over the masks with Mr. Huey in Shell. After making the background, I added in my column of pictures, added my journaling and a few embellishments. A lot of the items came from the Studio Calico May kit."

Have a great day! 

"Crochet Mania" by DT Tanti

Happy Memorial Day! 

Today's gorgeous inspiration comes from DT Tanti:

Tanti said: "This is absolutely my favorite challenge this month. I had so much fun making my own background. This is how I did it.  I used a white cardstock for my background. I begun with putting some paper doilies all around the page and glimmer misted it.  Then, I put my homemade polka dot mask on the cardstock and also glimmer misted it to give more structure to the background. After that, I took a TP roll, painted the rim with an acrylic paint and stamped it on my background paper to get those circle prints.  If you want to know how I made my polka dot stencil/mask here is the tutorial on 

my blog: http://tantiktutorial.blogspot.de/2014/05/diy-polka-dot-schablone-diy-stencil.html . 

Happy scrapping!"

"Rock Pool Critters" Lo by DT Kerry

Hey Scrappers!

Check out today's inspiration by DT Kerry:

This is what Kerry said about her layout:

"My background for this page was created using homemade texture paste spread with a spatula in a block. Then using the spatula again I squeezed yellow shimmer paint through sequin negative that I have an abundance of because I purchased a 5m roll on sale! I coloured some more paste with pink paint and used a cookie cutter dipped in the mixture to make the circles that you can see peeking out from behind the starfish.   I hope you get to play along with our sketch, it was a little out of my comfort zone but hey, I'm always up for peeking outside my box! How about you?"

Here's the sketch:

Just a few more days left to get your layout uploaded for

this sketch challenge and for the May Stash challenge.  

"Play Hard" LO by DT Kelly

Happy Scrappy Saturday!!! 

Today we are inspiring you with this sporty layout by DT Kelly:

This is what Kelly said about her layout:

This was definitely a good challenge for me since I usually don't spend the time working with stencils/masks much but I LOVED how it turned out for my son's baseball page. I used a Crafters Workshop stencil for the background which reminded me of the baseball fence. I also used a circle stencil to create the baseballs. Out came some older clear arrow and star stamps that I've never used! I created the film strip on my Cricut Expression machine and used the punched out squares as part of the title. I am loving the layouts using this super fun sketch and handmade background papers.

Don't forget you still have time to upload your layouts for May challenges if you haven't already! :) 

This month's prize is a $30 GC to Your Scrapbook Stash! 

"16 Days Old" Layout by DT Robin

Hi there!

Today's adorable Sketch with Stash inspiration is being shared by

DT Robin:

This is what Robin share about her page:

"It was so fun to scrapbook my precious puppies. I don’t know how I’m going to handle it when  they have to go to new homes! 

I used Light Molding Paste along with a stencil from The Crafters Workshop. It’s very subtle since I didn’t add any color to the molding paste. I also used Tim Holtz stencil, Dot Fade, along with Art Anthology’s Cinnamon Toast Colorations Spray. I used the same spray to sprinkle dots around the page.

For closer details on this layout, please visit my blog:

Until next time,"

"Memory Blooms" LO by DT Jenni

Good Morning Crafters! 

Today we bring you this wonderful inspiration from Scrap Our Stash DT Jenni:

Jenni said this about her layout:

This sketch is probably my favorite since I have been part of the Scrap Our Stash DT! It is so inspiring and there is nothing I love more right now than the mixed media trend! I really tried to use as much media as possible. I misted the background first with the elongated hexagon stencil. Then I stamped a mini hexagon background stamp on top of it, which actually ended up being covered up. On top of that, I used Distress Ink over the 'Remember' stencil from Heidi Swapp. To highlight the 'Remember' even more, I used some gold embossing paste with a circle stencil. I watercolored a piece of white cardstock that I mounted the vellum and photo to. I love being able to experiment with new materials and just play. Sometimes, the Virgo in me needs the unpredictability that comes with using media that is supposed to be loose!

Don't forget to link up your layout for this sketch challenge and the May 1st Stash Challenge (both challenges can be found HERE) to the sidebar by May 29th! :)

"Us Silly Girls" LO by DT Patricia

Happy Monday!!!

DT Patricia inspires us today with this fun layout! What a great way to start of a week! :)

Patricia said:

"Hi my friends!  This one was pretty fun, because I not only got to scrap photos of my daughter and one of her friends at Ferrells Ice Cream Parlor but I also tried something I never tried before which was using a stencil to create a different technique.  For the background, I used the new Heidi Swapp Stencil (Cheveron) and also used Heidi Swapps' Color Shine (teal).  Heart embellies (Heidi Swapp), Banner (Basic Grey), Alphas (Dear Lizzy), Butterflies (Studio Calico Cork), and Paper came from Elle's Studio (Love You More). Thanks for looking!"

See you tomorrow with more inspiration!! 

"XOXO" LO by DT Elizabeth

Hello Scrappers! 

Today's inspiration comes from DT Elizabeth.  Check out her awesome background paper! 

This is what Elizabeth said about her layout:
This was a fun challenge and sketch! I really enjoyed making my "own" background papers. I used a pre-made mask from Studio Calico Mister Huey’s Mask and then used a cup lid and ink to make the black circles on the page. After I sprayed the mist, I also used some BG Basics Candy Buttons to add to my background paper. Totally fun to do and create!!!

You can check out the sketch challenge HERE! 

"FUN" LO by DT Dulcinea

Happy Scrappy Saturday! 

Today we bring you awesomeness from DT Dulcinea!  She has inspired us with this wonderful layout from the May sketch.

And this is what Dulcinea said about her layout:

I love gesso and paint. For this challenge, I use some old butterfly sticker sheet as a stencil. I use gesso and mist to give a bit of color and texture of my background. I place my picture where is the tag space from the sketch and made some butterfly mist on the circular spot inspiring by the sketch. Now, it's your turn to make a beautiful and personalized background.

Ruby created to fantastic layout:

Here's what Ruby said about her layout: 

"I have used a fairy stencil and stamping to create my background. (UNITY STAMPS) The stencil was misted to get the white design. To create the stars, I crafted a stencil and then used  Texture Magic and applied it with a spatula. Topped the stars with some Stickles to make them glitter.  The little fairy diecut was cut on my Cricut using  A Child's Year cartridge. The butterflies were from a Martha Stewart punch."
