"5 Days Old" Layout by DT Kelly

Good Morning!!!

Today's inspiration is the creative work of DT Kelly and is her last design team reveal at 

Scrap Our Stash!   Kelly has been with Rochelle and I since we became co-owners of Scrap Our Stash and she will definitely be missed around here.   

Her adorable layout was inspired by our

June Sketch with Stash Challenge

and

Child's Play "Tie-Dye" Challenge:

This is what Kelly shared about her page and the challenge:

"I "tie-dyed" my color strips using Versamark ink with a butterfly stamp. It was interesting to see the outcome of each color as it dried! I used Queen & Co. enamel dots and a super old glitter & crocheted flower in the center. I find it hard to scrap the older photos but this challenge really made it fun! 

I will really miss being a part of the design team here at SOS and have loved every one of the challenges! Brenda & Rochelle are amazing and really make SOS such a super fun challenge site. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a fantastic design team and I hope to follow along with future challenges!"

Kelly, Rochelle and I have enjoyed as part of the SOS team, and appreciate all our your contributions and dedication to our site!!!

"@rt Class" Layout by DT Robin

Happy Monday!

Today's wonderful Sketch with Stash inspiration is being shared by DT Robin:

Robin shared this about her page:

This was a fun, quick sketch this month. I used enamel dots, both yellow and red. I also used two different fonts in my title and sub-title, reading “art class, with Julie Balzer.”

To go along with the Child's Play Tie Dye Inspiration Challenge, I sprinkled ink from spray bottles around the paper.

"Weather the Storm" Layout by DT Jenni

Hi there!

Today's amazing June Sketch with Stash inspiration is being shared by DT Jenni and is Jenni's last reveal as a Design Team member at Scrap Our Stash!  

We're gonna miss having her on our team and the wonderful "Start to Finish" videos she creates and shares with us!

And this is what Jenni shared about her page:

"Sadly, this is my last challenge as a DT member at Scrap Our Stash, so I wanted it to be special. I decided to focus on the idea of time passing so quickly! These photos are of a rainy day craft project from last summer.

I tried to fade distress inks together with a roller stamp to mimic the vertical pieces in the sketch. For the stash part of the challenge, I used a combination of rub-on sequins, real sequins and enamel dots to embellish. I can't wait to see what everyone is inspired to create!

I also want to thank all the amazingly talented DT for being so much fun to work with, and especially to Brenda and Rochelle for being a great leader, inspiration and friend to me!"

xoxo

"Cute Boy" Layout by DT Leila

Happy Saturday

I hope you are enjoying your weekend!!!

Today's fabulous Sketch with Stash inspiration is being shared by DT Leila:

Here is what Leila share about her layout:

I have always loved photographs, but after I became a mother always walking with a camera in hand, has become very common. I love every little moment of registering children and then remembering how they grew, and how their characteristics have changed. 

This is a picture of my youngest qdo, when he was 1 year and a half or so. Today he is a little boy of almost 7 years. How I miss this cute and naughty face. 

The sketch is a grace and I loved playing with it.   I decided to make some chevrons and paint with gelatos.   For the background paper I used the colors in the photo for inspiration. I added enamel dots are on the left side of the photo.

I hope you enjoy.

Here is the sketch for June

Enamel dots OR Sequins

"Laugh, Enjoy, Play" Layout by DT Joefil

Good Morning!

Today's sweet inspiration was created by DT Joefil, inspired by our

Sketch with Stash Challenge

and

Child's Play "Tie Dye" Inspiration Challenge:

Joefil shared this about her layout:

"Another fun challenge! 

For this challenge I started with white cardstock for my background.  I used my clear block and stamped tim holtz distress ink into the block and sprayed with water and then I stamped it into the background paper to create a watercolor look to meet the requirements of the 

"Tie Dye" Inspiration Challenge over at Child's Play.

Next I splattered some ink that was left over on the block,  and added lots of sequins, my favorite embellishment to put into my layout these days."

Our June Guest Designer

Claire R

has created this beautiful layout inspired by our
June Sketch with Stash Challenge

and 

Child's Play "Tie Dye" Challenge:

12 yrs Later...

This is what Claire shared about her layout:

 "Great challenge! I had lots of fun creating this layout because I did something I haven't done in a long time, used my Tim Holtz distressed inks. Interestingly enough I do not have any purple in my stash, I have all the other colors of the inspiration board but purple. So I pulled out my TH concord distressed ink and made my own purple tie dye-esque layer and to wash it out, I added some gesso. I side flipped the sketch to accommodate landscape photos. For my stash items, I used the last of my sequins, and I use two Thicker alpha stickers, Amy Tangerine kal barteski foam and American Craft patchwork fabric. I'm also working on my stash of button. 

I look forward to seeing all your wonderful layouts using this week's challenges."

"Love You" LO by DT Kate

Happy Scrappy Saturday!!!  

Today we are inspiring you with this fantastic layout by DT Kate:

Kate said:

Monochromatic challenges always are a challenge for me...almost impossible! I love kraft paper so I started with that and just kept my monochromatic color in the tan/kraft family. I used washi tapes, SC wood star veneers, 5 different scraps of tan/brown papers, cool wood buttons from MME, and some krafty looking stickers. More scrapping of my son's long journey to wellness 

Make sure you come  back tomorrow for out June 15th Sketch challenge reveal! 

"That Face" LO by DT Megan

Hello Crafters…. It's Friday!!! ":)

Let's start the weekend with this awesome inspiration from DT Megan:

This is what Megan said about her layout:

"For my layout, I used different shades of blue as I felt they complimented this picture of my youngest son, Max. For the title, I cut "that" with my Silhouette Cameo and used some older K & Company chipboard letters for "face". The chipboard was a lighter blue, so I used some prima chalk ink to darken the letters. My five different stash items used were 1 washi tape (navy polka dot), 2 chipboard shapes (heart & geotag), 3 puffy stickers (star & small dots), 1 flag clip (navy) and 1 label sticker."

Make sure you stop by tomorrow to see what DT Kate has for us! :)

I always want to do a Romeo and Juliet layout since my brother has a cat named Romeo and my mother's cat called Juliet.  I've already done a monochromatic layout about my brother's cat Romeo. And this challenge is just perfect for my Juliet project.  To complete the challenge I also added 8 different premade embellishments:

One shipping tag.

One Twine.

Six buttons.

Sequins.

Three different pink washi tapes.

Six heart shape puffy Stickers.

One paper doilly.

And one metal frame.

"Everyday is an Adventure" LO by DT Kerry

Hello All! 

Kerry inspires us today with this lovely layout:

Here's what Kerry said about her layout:

"The photo was my starting point with this layout as it was virtually all blue, then I grabbed my Pebbles Basics collection and found two shades of blue in different patterns. The top was misted once with blue ink then misted again using a sunburst mask. Then the real fun began - hunting through my stash for blue embellishments. 

Here are the five items I added.

1. wooden butterflies and bicycle.

2. two project life cards.

3. washi tape.

4. photo corner stickers.

5. glitter dots."

I look forward to seeing your monochromatic pages.

"Tickle Time" LO by DT Kelly

Hey Crafters! 

Today's wonderful inspiration comes DT Kelly:

This is what Kelly said about her layout:

"I am such a fan of color and usually bright colors so when I saw it was a monochromatic challenge, I thought how about orange! I had fun digging through my stash for stickers, chipboard (button & 'heart' you), vellum (small hot air balloon), twine & a doily for my 5 stash items. I also used products from Echo Park, Basic Grey & My Minds Eye. When I came across the vellum hot air balloon, I decided to create my own hot air balloon. I really loved how the layout focuses completely on the photos!"

Make sure you come back tomorrow for more inspiration! :)

1. ‘flair’, in the lower left area that says, ‘hello lovely’.

2. A pink heart clip, from Webster’s Pages, on the photo of the shoes.

3. 3 pink Filigree Rhinestone Stickers from Freckled Fawn.

"Lucky 13" LO by DT Jenni

Hey Crafters!

Today we are inspiring you with this awesome monochromatic layout by DT Jenni:

Here's what Jenni says about her layout:

"This Challenge was the perfect opportunity to break out as much bling as I could! The word monochrome might sound a little boring, but a million different shades of the same color can be powerful! For the stash part of the Challenge I used: 1 glitter die cut banner, i glitter arrow, 2 gold foil vellum leaves, 2 word stickers, 3 pieces of chipboard, 1 gold doily, 1 gold clothespin and 2 wood veneers misted with, yep, gold. Whew! Have fun with this one!!"

Happy Friday! 

Today Joefil shares with us this gorgeous layout:

Joefil said this about her layout:

This challenge was fun! but, I don't usually make monochromatic layout, because I love different colors on my page but love this! I used some patterned papers from my stash, as long as the color are the same. I created this layout using light green colors.

And here's my 5 premade embellishment from my stash to go with the challenge:

1. 10 rain dots

2.6 sequins

3.4 bling

4. flair button

5. square wood veneer

She sure did work this Monochromatic challenge!

"Friends" LO by Rochelle

Hey all!  Rochelle here and today I am sharing with you a monochromatic layout that I created for our current Stash challenge:

 I had lots of fun creating this layout. For one, it's a layout of my friends and I when we got together a couple of months ago.  It had been quiet some time since I had seen both of them and we had a fabulous time! :)  Another reason I had a great time creating this layout was because it really made me dig into my stash and pull out anything that worked with the color I chose.  I think I used some Echo Park, October Afternoon, Prima, Heidi Swapp and Ruby Rock It.  As far as the 5 different items on my layout - chipboard stars, twine, flower, doily and banner.  I also combined this monochromatic layout with a Bingo challenge over at Sketches4All that I am hosting.  

For more information please refer to the Monochromatic layout challenge.

"Mitchell" LO by DT Elizabeth

Happy Hump Day! 

Today Elizabeth inspires us with her layout she created for the Monochromatic Layout Challenge:

Elizabeth said: 

This challenge was so much fun! In the past when I have done a monochromatic layout I never thought to use pattern papers and this time while looking through my stash, I realized that I could use anything of that color as long as it stayed in that color and also showed the different hues of that color and viola! I created this using grays, and I am in love with it!

Here's my 5 to go along with the challenge as well:

1.Used one star. 2. Used two different gray washi tape. 3. Used three different punches. 4. Used four different sized mini pearls. 5. Used four different patterned papers..

What a fun challenge!

See you back here tomorrow with more inspiration!

"Brother And Sister: Play Together, Stay Together" LO by Dulcinea

Hey Crafters!

Today, Dulcinea is inspiring us with this beautiful monochromatic layout:

Here's what Dulcinea said about her layout:

"I have to say, I love the color palette. For me working with one color, it was really a challenge. But, I got it! First, I have to choose just one color, and since I have this paper from Crate Paper I want to use, I work with greens. Since I can't let white, I use just for my title. Time for embellishments, I use premade: (1) chipboard, (1) stickers, (2) blings, (2) miscellany, (3) flowers, (4) alphabet stickers. Now, it's your turn embrace this challenge!"

This layout is for our June 1st Monochromatic Layout Challenge. 

"Snapshots of Today" LO by DT Carol

Happy Monday!!!

What a wonderful way to start our week with this wonderful layout byDT  Carol:

Carol said this about her layout:

That was a hard one for me! In order to get all my blue embellies I had to mix and match different collections, which I don't normally do! So I first decided on the color I would use. I picked blue because it is my favorite color. Then I picked a picture that had blue on it! And finally I went through my stash looking for blue stuff.

The pre packed embellies were: 1 button, 5 enamel dots, 3 chipboard pieces (2 arrows and 1 pin wheel), 2 journaling card, 1 washi tape and several stickers.

I hope you like the challenge and play along!

Make sure you come back every day for our daily inspiration!

ClaireR 

"Aloha SOS Fans! I am such a fan of SOS and so honored to be the June guest designer. My name is ClaireR. I'm originally from Hawai'i however currently living just north of Los Angeles, California with my husband, aka the hubz. You know what they say: "You can take the girl out of Hawai'i, but you can't take Hawai'i out of the girl." 

My crafting journey started something like this. One winter back in 2009, I decided to make Christmas cards (on a whim, just for fun). I made really cute snowmen out of yarn and adhered them to one layer of paper. I was a knitter at the time, so I had plenty, and still have plenty, of yarn laying around. Those cards were a hit with my friends and family. The next year I decided to buy a Christmas card kit with paper and diecuts. Well that was so much fun but I wanted to do so much more, I wanted to create my own die cuts. So on my birthday in 2011, I bought a Cricut, one month later I created my blog, www.ThreeWatersCreations.blogspot.com, started participating in challenges to learn how to create cards and that is how my crafting journey started. Cards turned into home decor which turned into scrapbooking, scrapbooking and more scrapbooking....

I look forward to visiting all your blogs and seeing your scrapbook pages this month. Mahalo!  "
