July Guest Designer for Scrap Our Stash Challenge!

Hi there scrappers!!!

Rachelle here with double exciting news!

I will be Guest Designer for 

The Scrap Our Stash Blog 

for the month of July.

I am so honored and excited to be working with this

awesome team of ladies.

With that it's time to reveal

Scrap Our Stash's first

July Stash Challenge:

Stash Challenge #16-Let's Go Shopping

{In Your Scrap Room}

From the shopping list provided, shop for 5 or more items
from your personal stash.

I used SOS sketch #3 created by Rochelle, site Co-Admin.


Totally awesome!

Now for my take:

"My Girl!"

"For this challenge I went with the shabby chic style layout. This delivers a softer and feminine look which highlights the picture. I used a generous amount of layering and pastel colors for inking and embellishments. With the final touches the layout came to the perfect height of inspiration.

I so enjoyed this challenge because I really needed to go through my stash and see what else I could go shopping for!"

 Going on with today's post I came across an 

interesting article entitled

"Why to start Scrapbook."

By

Guest Post Natasa

Courteous of Ef Zin Creations.

I get this question from a lot of ladies who don't scrapbook. So this

article was so detailed and helpful explaining it.

Here are just a few lines from that article. Later you

might want to click on the link and read it in it's entirety.

●What is scrapbooking {Wikipedia}

Scrapbooking is a method for preserving personal and family history in the form of a scrapbook. Typical memorabilia include photographs, printed media, and artwork. Scrapbook albums are often decorated and frequently contain extensive journaling.

●How to start 

//Materials and basic tools// 

You don't need to buy everything for your new hobby but it's good to collect things. For example a nice product packaging will be nice to decorate a scrapbook page, newspaper is always interesting for background and tissue paper from your brand new shoes is great, too.

If you want to buy some new materials is good to make a good search to all scrapbooking shops and you will find millions of beautiful products (papers, pattered papers, stickers, stamps, ink etc)

Some basic tools are necessary: scissors, pens, glue, a cutting mat.  There are also so many more tools to buy such as punches, eyelet setters, Guillotines & Trimmers etc.

My advice is to choose carefully and think if you will really use any of the products you will buy.

 I trust you found it an interesting read.

Well that's it for today.

Again thanks for stopping by and remember to...

See Ya Soon!
