Challenge #106 Use your scraps

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far!  Michele here, and today I challenge you to use your scraps!  I don't hang on to teeny tiny scraps but I do have a box where I keep leftover paper scraps.  This challenge was a great reminder to me to go into that box and use some of those scraps up!

Challenge #106

 Use Your Scraps

Let's say hello again to our guest designer for the month of June:

Leah Tees

"I have been crafting for all of my life and was a decorative painting instructor for many years before I started doing paper crafts. I live in Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada with my youngest teenage daughter and our two dogs. We love to read and spend time outdoors and I can't seem to ever have enough things to do, lol!

My favourite stamps are too many to name and I love to color with Copics, Prismacolor pencils and watercolor and I am dying to drag out my oils and acrylic paints. I also create jewelry in my spare time, ha ha ha ha (what spare time) :)

My blog is odetopaper.blogspot.ca where you can see inspiration for a few design teams :)"

Here is the beautiful card Leah created for our challenge - be sure to stop by her blog to say hi!

Here is a card I made based on Sketch #177 over at CAS(E) This Sketch.  I punched out butterflies from my paper scraps to create this quick card:

Please take a look at what the other design team members have created below!  Thanks for joining in our challenges, I look forward to seeing what you create.

A mini baby album and matching card from old stash and scraps. Check out my blog for more pix.

I like to use my scraps to die cut shapes and elements to make cards. My Cuttlebug and steel dies make this a breeze.

Amber

I challenged myself to only use scraps sitting out on my desk. The flower had been stamped and colored for a previous project and left because I didn't like it. The yellow card base was made for another card but I had changed my mind. The patterned paper was leftover and the black washi tape was already sitting on my desk. Even the sentiment was a stamp set I hadn't put back yet.

The winner of Challenge #105 is #30 Lillian A.!!

Challenge #105 - The Great Outdoors

Hello! Brittany here to bring you our new challenge - The Great Outdoors!

With the weather warming up, the outdoors are calling - this is the best time of the year for hiking, camping, picnics, water play at the beaches and rivers - you name it! I can't wait to see your project inspired by the outdoors!

We have a fabulous guest designer this month, Leah Tees! 

Here is a bit about her:

Brittany

My project was not only geared towards the outdoors, but also for my very outdoorsy dad (since Father's Day is just around the corner).

Kristy

I couldn't decide on which Great Outdoor layout to share with you today...so here are 2 for you!
