Good Morning!

Today I am sharing a layout I created inspired by the 

September Sketch with Stash Challenge at 

Scrap Our Stash

This sketch gave me the perfect opportunity to use up some of my 6x6 stash.   Each sunray was backed with a thin layer of raw chipboard and then lined with a pen to add a little dimension.

"Let UR Smile Be UR Strategy" Layout

Happy Friday!!!!

Today I am sharing my DT reveal for the " Game On" Sketch with Stash Challenge at

Scrap Our Stash

The challenge was to use the sketch below and add either game or game cards!   I found a chipboard dart board and dart in my old scraps from  the Crate Paper " Toy Box" collection.  The most difficult part of this challenge was to come up with a ttile that tied in the dart and dart board.   I did a search on google and "whala" I found the saying: "Let your smile be your strategy!"  Perfect for this photo of my "favorite" nephew with that wonderful smile on his face!

Supplies:

Patterned Paper:  Echo Park " For The Record"

Dart & Dart & Dart Board:  Crate Paper "Toy Box"

Title Work:  AC Thickers & EP "For The Record 2"

Wood Veneer Star:  Studio Calico

Happy Monday!   

My mojo is slowly returning after a few weeks of going AWOL and not being able to focus on anything crafty!   Today I am sharing a layout I created using some of my old October Afternoon "Sassparilla" stash!   When I first saw this collection, I did not really care for it, but after creating a layout with it a couple of months ago, I fell in love with it.  Some of the scraps I had left were perfect for the photos I used in this layout.   For the background, I used a sheet of patterned paper from an old DCWV "Blue Jeans" stack that someone had given me a few years ago. 

This layout was inspired by the sketch below for the April Sketch/Stash Challenge at 

Scrap Our Stash
