Scrap our stash April challenge

It is a long time since I have done a Scrap Our Stash challenge, and I love the concept of using what is in your stash, as opposed to buying something new. It is just getting around to the challenges, that is the problem, lol. Anyway, here is the April challenge:

 

I used the row stitching, flowers and ephemera. The ephemera I used were some clothing tags (diamonds on black), and the cardboard backing from a packet of butterflies. I die cut some doilies from paper that I was not going to use as it was. The flowers were a recent purchase back in March, and were the perfect colour for the layout. This is my daughters diploma of nursing graduation. 

Thanks for looking at my layout and for any comments you may leave.

Scrap our Stash challenge #30 week 1

I have often thought about doing the Scrap Our Stash challenge, but have just not got around to do it. I was needing something to inspire me for this photo that I have scrapped, and this challenge helped me.

So the sketch is optional, but I used it as well. 

For my items that I used from the word layers, I used - L - layering, A - acetate, alphas, Y - yarn, E - enamel dots, embossing powder, R - resin snowflakes, S - star embellishment.

I had this photo of my kids from a recent trip to Mt Buller for a day of skiing. My son was wearing this skeleton mask - pretty scary in my opinion, but hey - what would I know - lol. 

I had this star embellishment with a skeleton button on it from Charms Creations which I had to use, and this was the perfect match for the photo. 

I layered under the photo with some project life journaling cards, patterned paper, acetate card, and chipboard strip. I also added the yarn as a layer under the photo. I embossed on the snowflakes with Stampendous embossing powder, and sprinkled the resin stars and enamel dots around the page. I have also added a flair button from Funky Flairs Studio. I am really happy with how this turned out.
