Squad Goals

Hello crafty friends! I'm back again today with a new layout for the Scrap Our Stash design team. This time I'm up for the Blended Sketch challenge:


The challenge is to create a new layout based on both sketches. Blend the 2 together to create a new layout, and don't forget to add sequins. Here's what I came up with:


I combined the 4 stacked photos of the first sketch with the title placement and left side vertical strip of the 2nd sketch. I printed my photos as 3x4" so I could squeeze all 4 in a grouping. Sprinkles of sequins in shades of pink were added below the journaling, above the top left photo, and next to the bottom right photo. Be sure to visit the Scrap Our Stash blog to see what the rest of the DT has created. I look forward to seeing how everyone blends these 2 sketches in their own unique ways! =) T

New Design Team Member!

Hello crafty friends! So excited to share that I am a new Design Team member at Scrap Our Stash! The SOS blog has 2 fun challenges each month, both encouraging all of to use that ever-growing stash. The Golden Globe Challenge combines a movie as inspiration with an added twist of some other item or design element that needs to be included in your layout. The 2nd challenge of the month is the Blended Sketch Challenge, where you're given 2 different sketches as inspiration. Combine your favorite elements to create your layout, but be sure to include the additional item listed!

Here is this month's Golden Globe Challenge:


and my take on it:


For this layout, I hand-cut a sunburst shape out of yellow patterned paper and layered it over a sky blue water colored background. To mimic the movie poster, I printed a whole bunch of 2x2” photos that were highlights of last summer. I put my title in the center of the sunburst and had my photos coming out over the rays, creating a big summertime collage. A few epoxy stickers, sunshine embellishments, and nests of blue thread finished up the layout. 

Stop by the Scrap Our Stash challenge blog to say hello, and participate in this month's challenges for your chance to win a $20 gift card! =) T
