Sprinkles/Mist
"You Are My Happy Sister"
Here is what Dulcinea shared about her layout:
"Happy Birthday Scrap Our Stash! 
"I’m so happy to be part of the first birthday! For this challenge I chose “sprinkles” and I had the chance to use mist. I used my Silhouette for creating my personal stencil to make a grid on my background. I used this Maggie Holmes paper which matched well with the colors in my sister's picture.  The paper also has the mist effect. For completing, I just embellished my grid with some nice colors. 
It’s so simple, but I love it so much! 
Now, it's your turn! 
If you want, you can download my silhouette file and make your own mist grid or anything you like
Here is a link to the file: http://goo.gl/SDeJIM.
 Happy Birthday Scrap Our Stash!"

Today's fabulous feature inspired by this challenge,  is the creative work of DT Megan!
"Birthday Girl"
And this is what Megan shared about her layout:
"My Stash A Thon Challenge is the Present challenge which is to use a bow or bows on a layout. I decided to scrap these pictures of my friend, Heidi's little girl, Scarlett, from her 2nd birthday party. A lot of the supplies used are from Studio Calico's Sugar Rush kit. To complete the challenge, I added a bow from Studio Calico's Printshop line. I also colored the little girl image, Cupcake Anya, from the Greeting Farm with Copic markers to match the layout."

Isn't Megan's page adorable?   It's your turn to pull out your bows or make some from your stash of ribbon or even use patterned paper with ribbons.  
We would love to see you create a layout and add a bow or two to share with us!

Here is what Jenni shared about her layout:
"Happy Birthday Scrap Our Stash! What a fun year and this one looks to be shaping up nicely too...You guys deserve a celebration! 
My contribution to the celebration is to provide the sparkle & glittery bling from CANDLES! I would love to say this was challenging to me or my stash, but there is SO much gold and glitter in my craft room, even Tinkerbelle would be jealous! I used gold embossing past to add some stars to this lovely cloud paper. I also cut my title on the Silhouette from gold Pow! paper and used red Stickles for the heart. I had a couple pieces of gold glitter chipboard from Crate Paper and MME that I layered under my photo. I misted this sweet hot air balloon in gold Color Shine and finally sprinkled around some red and gold sequins and glitter dots!!
I am sure I could have gotten some more in there somewhere! I can't wait to see everyone's pages for this challenge and all of them!!"

"Las Vegas"
This is what robin shared about her layout:
"You might be saying that the chalkboard look has been over-done, but I still LOVE it, so much! My challenge for the Scrap-A-Stash challenge was to use a doily. I had just bought a bunch for some holiday crafting so I have plenty in my stash, that’s for sure! Most product in this layout is from We R Memory Keepers. My title is cut from my Silhouette, which I don’t use often enough.

This picture was taken on Valentine’s Day. I had, VERY LAST MINUTE, decided to join Manuel on a quick road trip to Las Vegas to watch his daughter get married. The weather was perfect for driving with the top down."

Got doilies???? We would love to see you use them on a layout!

"Happy Birthday SOS! My name is Denise Luscan. I live in Florida with my Husband and our
5yr old son. I was introduced to Scrapbooking when a friend at work shared her new hobby
with me about a year after my son was born. I was immediately hooked! I have always been
into crafts but with a new baby and tons of photos, Scrapbooking soon became my favorite.
I just started my blog in September and have been enjoying being a part of the lovely Scrapping
community and playing along with all of these fun challenges. My style is pretty much CAS but I
am hoping to try new things and get a little messy this year:). 
Thanks you so much to Scrap Our Stash for having me as a Guest Designer!"
My Blog:  She Creates

AND...to kick off our Birthday Celebration…
 GDT Denise has created this fabulous Birthday inspiration to share with you:
This is what Denise shared about her layout:
"I wanted this layout to be fun, colorful and definitely convey BIRTHDAY so I
had to incorporate balloons! I thought of a Page Drafts sketch that was the
perfect inspiration for my LO (see my blog for link). The pictures are from
my little cousins 2nd b-day and I used mostly AC Hip Hip Hooray paper."

Thank you so much Denise for designing with Scrap Our Stash and being part of our celebration this month!!!
