Scrap Our Stash Guest Designer (& More)

Scrap Our Stash is a fun challenge blog that encourages you to use your stash and offers several challenges each month. I was recently selected as a Guest Designer for my Red, White, & Blue project submission. This month's challenge is "grids," which you can interpret many different ways. The first thing that I thought of was my A Game stamp set with its cute tic-tac-toe board and images, which led to thoughts of my favorite tic-tac-toe player. Here she is in her spring school portrait. (The corresponding page includes all her classmates and their names, so I am not going to post it online. I used the same grid running down the left side with the big 8"x10" class portrait across the middle.)

This light blue, turquoise, and neutral color scheme from CR84FN (#37) was the perfect palette for this photo! I used Close To My Heart's Heavenly Blue, Lagoon, Chocolate, and White Daisy as my colors, along with paper from the new Wonderland paper pack and the retired Hooligans paper pack.

In the back of my mind, this fantastic layout sketch from Sassy Lil' Sketches inspired me! the different blocks definitely reminded me of the grid challenge theme.

Be sure to go visit the Scrap Our Stash challenge blog and get in on the fun!
