Stash Scrap Thursday!! *Layout heavy*

Hey everyone, Thursday is here, so close to Friday!! lol And I'm back with another Stash Scrap.

This past weekend Paper Issues had an online crop and I'v been playing along and using up a bunch of my stash!! I think Ive only mannage to get 7 done so far, but I want to try and get more done before the 14th, thats the cut off for getting them entered in. You still have a but of time if you want to run over to facebook and look them up, Paper Issues Friends and fans, and all of the challenges are there! And lots of good fun talking too!

So here are my layouts and what challenge they were for:

This is me & my mom and this was Lisa's Attitude of gratitude challenge, you were to create a layout showing everyday gratitude. I used bits and pieces from my October Birds of a feather kit to create this layout

This is my oldest son back when he was first starting Kindergarten.  He was so happy and confident, it was amazing! This was Michelles get into Shape challenge. You were to use a repetitive shape threw the layout. I thought I would use my Pink Paislee memorandum 6x6 paper pad for this one because I loved all the pops of color with all the white I had put in this layout, I also grabbed bits from older Hip kits as well for embellishments.

This was for Color Cast Design mood board. This is the mood board:

I thought this picture was perfect for this mood board and I worked in all the colors but kept it very light and airy. The cold looks black in the photos lol, But I loved this picture of my youngest daughter with my hubby just checking out the water. 

This was for A Flair for buttons challenge, you were to use at least one flair and extra points if it was one of theres. I didnt have any of theres :( so I grabbed my Basic Grey Aurora flair and my Shimelle  stash go to town. My title is Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful. And I chose that because I tried to get some good pics with all of us looking and smiling but hey there kids,lol. Ones not looking, neither am I lol, ones slining his head around to move away from his brother and ones cheesing and giving his brother bunny ears lol, Either way it was fun!

This layout is Leahs negative space challenge. You were to leave at least 2/3 of the layout blank. This is hard for me to do, as I'm guessing it is for a lot of scrappers lol. But I managed. I decided to grab an older pack of Heidi Swapp project life cards and the embellishments that came with it and went for it, this way I was still limited to what I was working with.

Now these next two I used my Birds of a Feather November kit. I had 2 layouts due for my DT obligations and a few of these challenges hit it right on the mark and I had just taken pictures the week before at the park that were perfect too so I grabbed my kit and pics and did these too.

Now this one was for Donas Orange challenge. You were to make a layout with orange in it and you got extra points if you used mixed media. 

I cut the background on my Silhouette and places a piece of bright orange paper under it from Echo Park and then went to cutting out leafs with my Silhouette too. I added some acorn brads from another of my previous months BOAF kits, I finished it off with a little flair, some thread and Thickers from the kit.

And las but not least this is the last one I have for now and it was for Corries color challenge. You were to use green, orange and red.  This pic was in with the above from the park the week before and I loved the colors of the leafs so I used it and a few pieces from previous kits and it all cam together quite quick.

Im really hoping to get at least a few more done, I would have liked to get them all done, but I guess we will see!! I'll be posting more here in the next day or so, all by the 14th, so come back by and check them out and if you dont want to forget you can subscribe and youll never miss another post! Thanks and I hope you have a good rest of your day and hey think, tomorrow is Friday!!

Favorite time of year ever/Fall this way BOAF DT

Good morning and I hope your weekend has went well. Our weekend had been cloudy and rainy, so I'm happy we got to be out this last week when it was nice and take some good pictures with all the pretty fall colors! And with that I am here to share 2 layouts I made for the Birds of a Feather kit club design team.

We got a beautifully fall themed kit this month, you should head over to the shop and check out the November kit before there all gone! This kit is full of BoBunny and Echo park papers. They are so perfect for fall!! I took this picture last week at the park and loved the colors I was able to capture, so I jumped into my kit and grabbed a few of the BoBunny, enchanted fall line and started layering. I also cut that Fall memories piece from one of the cut a part pages and theres a few and thats nice! There great for making cards too!

I did grab a few things that I had left over from last months kit and used them on this layout as well. The FYI wood veneer is from last months kit and I just darkened its color with some Tim Holtz distress ink. And for the title I used some of the word thickers from the Septemeber kit. I added a few clear stickers from my stash to finish the title and a little bit of wood grain washi. I also did some splatters on my page with Tattered Angels chalkboard glimmer mist in Valencia, which you can fin in the shop too!

Fall this way,

Now for this layout I chose to work with some of the Echo park papers. I grabbed this orange sheet and placed it behind a sheet of white cardstock that I had sent threw my Silhouette. I loved the orange peeking threw! I then cut out different leaves with the solid colored papers from the Echo park line and a few from the BoBunny line. I added a strip of the BoBunny paper at the bottom too with a line of my wood grain washi.

I did a bit of fussy cutting, Wood floras by Echo Park has some really cool looking labels on one side, they have different little things on them, like the one above with the little acorn, some have a fox or mushroom, there all soo cute! I used the Wonder charm kraft thickers that came in the kit for the Fall part of the title and then I grabbed a flair buttin out of my stash that said this way and had that finish out the title.

 I added a few of the acorn brads from last months kit, so love those!! 

I added a bit of gold thread and a few word stickers by Tim Holtz and a few enamel dots, witch you can find in the shop as well, there by Echo Park.

I hope you enjoyed my layouts and I hope you come back to see what else I make and make sure you head over to the Birds Of a Feather kit clubs new blog and check out what the rest of the lovely ladies are making with the kits too!!
