Anything goes

Hello, I'm posting a couple hours early for the Use Your Stuff challenge,

so that I can play along with Scrap our stash

Welcome to the last challenge for May at Use Your Stuff. 

 This time it's "anything goes".  I'm still working my way through 2021 scout photos.  

I have one small brown butterfly hiding the bottom caption of the decorative medallion. 

Great way to use up some items from my stash.

Touch of Gold

Use Your Stuff wants you to incorporate just a bit of gold in your projects...maybe some glitter or glitter paper, what about some foil or gold paint?  Perhaps you have some gold thickers or brads laying around.  Pop that gold on your project and show us!

My son's troop went to an adventure escape room for one of their meetings which was lost temple-themed.  Perfect for breaking out some gold

For my layout, I backed the photos on gold paper and added gold chunky glitter to the embellishment clusters.

May Scrap our stash

 This May at scrap our stash the challenge is twofold.  Use the sketch and stamp/ mixed media.

For this layout, I started off with cutting large chevrons from a sheet of patterned paper that I thought would complement the photo but I didn't like how it came out so I used the negative to smear my ink pad across to make the chevrons.  Not really a stamp- more of a technique, so I splattered it all with shimmerz "Taupe of the mornin' " and  "Granny Gray".  Also did a couple of clusters of black Nuvo drops and red enamel dots to get in a little more texture.

 The layout is close to the original sketch but I rotated the sketch and added a circle with a rub-on as we;; as added a a title across the bottom

Inspired by Cinema

 

  I'm late getting this post up for you.  We have a looming construction deadline here on the farm, so I spent the entire weekend building a new fence to house the goats.  Without further ado, this week's challenge is to be inspired by the cinema.  It could be a favorite movie, soundtrack, a role that a favorite actor played.  Maybe it was a movie night with you and the family...Whatever it is, incorporate it into your project and share it with us at Use Your Stuff.

  I chose "Into the Wild" as my movie as I'm still working on my son's scout album and the movie title fits the photos of the troop's campout and boating adventures.  I'm also playing along with Sketches in Thymes #515 but doing it doubled for a two-page spread as well as Lasting memories- wedding inspired “something old”

I pieced together the last of my EP “Boys Rule” from 2014”(Definitely some of my older stash) and mixed it with the last another line with similar colors.  I know it’s we are memory keepers but not the actual collection since there was so little of it left.  Feels good to use up scraps.

The left side of the spread is close to the sketch design minus a few layers as I didn’t have much in the way of large pieces of paper.  Hid some of the piecing with the tag and stickers 

Flipped the sketch for the right side of the spread and replaced one of the ring elements with a large circular sticker
