The June Challenge at Scrap Our Stash is a All About Our Guys!  Create a Male layout using at least 5 brads from your stash!  What a great challenge for the month of June with Father’s Day.

Here is my layout:

Supplies used: CTMH Later Sk8r Paper Packet, CTMH Fast and Furious stamp set, CTMH inks (Slate, Pear, Outdoor Denim, and Lagoon), Bazzill Collection Metals – Mono Mix Brads, and Making Memories Plain Charmed Photo Corners.

With three girls, I rarely do masculine layouts.  However, I had these pictures of my nephew and they were begging for me to use this stamp set!  The brads were easy to incorporate and I also added some metal from my stash.

What will you create? Go to Scrap Our Stash to submit your own layout.  You have until June 29th.

This month the Sketch with Stash Challenge #3 at Scrap Our Stash is to use this sketch and at least 3+ pre-made flowers from our stash.  This was an easy challenge for me because I LOVE both sketches and flowers!!

Supplies used: Stampin’ Up! Papers, American Crafts Elements Taffy Mini Jewel Brads, Making Memories Flower Metal Photo Corners, Studio 18 Gem Sticker, Prima Floral Embellishments, Bazzill Collection Cha Ching Brads, Recollections Boutique Fleur Floral Embellishments, Tattered Angels Pink Bubblegum Glimmer Mist, CTMH White Daisy Cardstock, and unknown felt flower ribbon.

This was one of those layouts that I didn’t like while I was doing it, not sure why.  When I left and came back to it, it didn’t seem so bad.  It won’t be a favorite but it passes for okay.

There is still time to submit your layout at Scrap Our Stash.  You have until May 29th.

Supplies used: Papers by Close to My Heart, Daisy Hill Metal Accents, Making Memories Charmed Photo Corner, unknown alphabet stickers, Making Memories charms, CTMH hinge, CTMH brads, and Bazzill Ribbon.

The Scrap Our Stash Challenge this month is to do ANYTHING!  I learned that with the business of the holidays that is exactly what we should strive for, just get done whatever you can and consider it an accomplishment!  Go check it out and take the challenge for yourself.

It’s hard to believe that Miranda will be one year old soon.  She was the only child of ours who sucked her thumb and it was just so stickin’ cute!

Supplies used: Diecuts With a View paper, Close to My Heart Big Pinks Flower, and Bazzill Really Big Brad.
