SOS #12

SOS challenege # 12 was to use a game piece on a LO.
I very literally followed their example and used a Simple Stories bingo card (after being a Memory Works consultant I  have Simple Stories coming out of my ears!)
To change it up, I opted for a Christmas LO featuring decorated trees .

Papers and Stickers- Simple Stories
Holly Punch- Martha Stewart
Die cut Title- Cricut CTMH ArtBooking

SOS# 10

I did a few more pages this weekend inspired by the Scrap Our Stash birthday challenges. This one is for SOS#10 -balloons.

I used Simple Stories Cheese papers and stickers to whip up this LO of Main Street DisneyLand.

SOS # 6

Whoops I got wayyy behind on these challenges. I went to the scrap book expo in Anaheim last week. I did a lot of pages but none for the challenges. Then I came home and have been a card-making fool!

This LO incorporates some of my Expo purchases and SOS# 6 which was use to use mist on a LO. Honestly-I am not a huge fan of mist. I have about 5 of them- they tend to clump up and jam the nozzle- then I end up just sprinkling it out by hand!
I used some brown Tattered angels on the background page and gold on the big flower.
I used some of my new Heartfelt Creations for the paper and the flower elements.
I also used a Spellbinders die set for the accent pieces, SU! leaf sizzlet, and Martha Stewart butterfly and fern punch.

Heartfelt Creations

I succombed and finally took a Heartfelt Creations class at the Expo last week. I have always been entranced by their pretty pretty cards and boy did I fall in love with them even more after the class!
 I was lucky enough to win a posy patch stamp set in class. I got the coordinating set of dies and paper pack and have been merrily making flowers ever since.
I see a lot of creative options ahead of me utilizing my Cricut Lacy Labels and Damask dies with these pretty posies.

SOS 5

The fifth challenge @ Scrap our Stash was to incorporate a banner  onto our lay out.

I immediately thought of this Recollections re-branded stack of Dear Lizzy Neopolitan collection. It had the papers, stickers, and a threaded punch out banner to use!

I just added a Petaloo floral and some chipboard letters that I painted silver.

SOS 4

The fourth challenge at Scrap Our Stash was to use a bow on a lay out.

For this one I really foraged in my stash and found a couple of old DCWV stacks that had to be at least 3 years old!

The pix aren't quite as old- just from Easter last year.

PP- DCWV
Prima-flowers, leaves,canvas flourish
punches-Martha Stewart
Title Criut Artbooking
Bow- Dritz

SOS 3

The third challenge from Scrap our Stash was to scrap something with sparkle.

Look at the date on this LO- yes they are pix from 3 YEARS ago!!!
I cannot tell you how good it felt to finally get them scrapped and put away in an album.
The papers and embelluies were all cut from a DCWV Christmas paper stack that I got for cheap cheap cheaps after Christmas at Joanns this year.
The "20" and "10" I cut from the advent page sheet to use as my title of the year.
The red glitter tape I bought last month at Michaels in the after Valentine's Day 80% off bin.

SOS 2

oops I got a little bit behind but never fear I will catch up!
Here is the second challenge from Scrap our Stash- this one was to use a doily on a lay out. I love it- because I love doilies!

I had gotten this great paper set for only $8 at Tuesday Morning . It is by We R Memory Keepers and included the patterned paper, solid card stock, stickers, die cuts and a cropper hopper to keep it all in.

I wasn't too sure about this LO as it doesn't have a title and contemplated putting one vertically down the center but then I felt that would be too crowded so I left it out.

SOS 1

Are you surprised to see me back so soon? Me too - that Lay Out A Day last month was pretty exhausting by the end of it but I found another challenge blog that was just too good to resist.
It is called Scrap Our Stash  (SOS) and that really speaks to me as I have soooo much scrappy stuff that I really need to use up.

They  are posting multiple challenges this month every few days which seems a lot more do-able to me than committing to every day. And even if I miss a challenge or 2 it will be no biggie. Just as long as I get a  shot of inspiration to keep me scrapping along :-)

Todays challenge was to use at least 3 papers on a LO- to layer them on.
I love this idea  as I am a total" paper ho"  so anything to get me to use it up is fine by me.
I got this Crate Paper Snow Day stack at Big Lots for super cheap and thought that bright bright colors would go well with the pix of my kitties and puppy dogs playing with one of their Christmas gifties :-)

I ended up using 5 sheets of the papers .
Die cut Letters - Cricut When I was a Kid Cart.
Bling- Recollections
