Scrap Our Stash Challenge #16

A stash challenge from Scrap Our Stash is exactly what I needed!

This is my kind of challenge - to USE WHAT I ALREADY HAVE - because I have too much stuff! Using as much from my stash is one of my goals in scrapbooking during 2014!

Here are the details of the challenge:

For this challenge we are going to shop our personal stash, we will not be taking a trip to our local scrapbooking stores.

Here's the rules:

From the shopping list below, shop for (5 or more) different items in your stash. 

Create a layout and include those (5) items on your page. 

 

Here is the shopping list:  I have highlighted the elements I incorporated into my layout!

Washi tape

Stars (3 or more) - I used 3 wooden stars!

Striped Paper (not lined)

Enamel Dots (3 or more)

Polaroid Frame

Buttons (3 or more) - I used 6 buttons!

Flag

Dimensional sticker

Paper Clip

Arrows (3 or more) - I used 3 punched paper arrows!

Die cut - I used 9 chipboard die cut letters for my title!

I combined this shopping challenge with a 2 page sketch from Let's Scrap!

Sketchabilities # 117

I seized this opportunity to use a bunch of products from my stash to create a layout based on the Sketchabilities #117 sketch

 

 

And here is the page I created:

 

 

I rarely scrap 1 photo on a page these days, as I am so far behind in my son's photos, but this sketch really caught my eye!

March Sketch Challenge: And the twist - buttons!

 

I had a blast with this sketch - so many elements and so many photos!  I really need to use sketches like this with 4 photos because I take so many shots of my family, that even when I scrap a few of each event, I still have too many!  LOL!

In these layouts, I showcased photos from a trip my son and I took to a friend's small home farm!  We both love animals, and he loved getting so up close and personal!
