Precious little miracle .. with Scrap Our Stash

So, when I should have been studying yesterday, I decided to scrap. I suspect the same thing might happen today. Oops! LOL! Note to self .. do not make a habit of this! But how could I resist when I saw the new challenge at Scrap Our Stash? The word for April is STAMP .. you need to "create a layout and include an item from your stash for each letter in the word s-t-a-m-p". Love it!

Precious little miracle

It takes some thinking when it comes to selecting products from your stash for each of the letters. I definitely rely on the inspiring work of the Scrap Our Stash Design Team to get me started. Plus when there's one letter that's stumping me, it always seems so obvious after what I've read the Design Team have used! LOL!


S .. sequins
T .. tag
A .. aluminium foil
M .. metal speech bubble (also by Maya Road LOL)
P .. Prima flower

I originally planned for my "A" to be arrowheads which are also on my layout, but when I got out what I thought was 'silver' foil and found it was 'aluminium' foil, LOL you can imagine my glee! By the way, I applied it to a frame behind my photos on the left of the layout. Ordinarily when scrapping with mixed media the "S" and the "T" would have been easy 'no-brainers' for me as I would have used stencils/templates and stamps. This layout though I wanted to keep bright and fresh, and clean and simple, so the letters were just that tad more difficult to work with, for me.

I love this challenge. I really do. I highly recommend you give it a go. Just remember that unlike other challenge blogs, the due date for this one is the 29th of the month. You can find all the details HERE. Oh and remember to keep an eye on the blog for inspiration as the Design Team layouts go up, day by day. Happy scrapping!

  1. Alz this is just gorgeous! I love that you have "Clean" scrapped it. I might have to do one myself. As much as I love my MM I do miss a little clean scrapping every now and then. Thank you for the inspiration xx
