Challenge #22 - Color Challenge

2012-02-20T09:00:00.018-05:00

Hi everyone, Lynne here.
This weeks challenge is a color challenge using photos from my oldest daughter's Bat Mitzvah, Nina is here with her grandfathers, both have since passed. The color scheme was teal, purple and yellow gold. Have fun. I love forward to seeing what you all come up with.

Joy

I ended up adding in some grey to Lynne's colour combo. It took me a while this week

to come up with something, mostly because purple is not a colour I use.

Barb

I wasn't sure, at first, what I was going to do with these colours, but then when I saw these pictures I knew they were perfect. I don't use a lot of purple, but I really like the finished project.

Bronwyn

Not a lot of time on my hands this week (I've been writing report cards!) so I decided I would use the colour combo for a starting point on this greeting card:

This kind of card-making is much more enjoyable than the "report" kind! So I kept on going:

And going:

OK ladies, show us what you can do with this one! Don't forget to come back here and link it up.

Challenge #21 - Photo Inspiration

2012-02-13T11:19:00.005-05:00

Hello All. Bronwyn here.Welcome to another Monday at Use Your Stuff. While spending way too much time on Pinterest, I came across this lovely picture of felt and fabric hearts. Right away I was drawn to the colour combination and the hand-made quality of the little hearts. I knew this had to be the challenge for this week.

CHALLENGE - Use this photo as starting off point for your creation. Think colour, shape, texture - whatever inspires you.

Hear is my take. I used the pink, red and turquoise colour combination, the heart shapes and the stitching.

Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with!!

Joy

I thought I was the only one with paper left in my stash of this old paper line!

I made a double page 6x6 layout this week. I think these will go in my project life album.

Lynne

I decided to be a bit whimsical. I had this old Imaginisce line of papers that the had the perect colors. Ithen added a few nicely places hearts. These are a couple of scrapper friends from my local scrap group.

I look forward to seeing who else jumps int this challenge.

Barb
I was inspired by the colours in the photo. It's not often that I get to use more girly colours so I really enjoyed working on this one.

Like Lynne, I'm looking forward to seeing what others come up with for this challenge. Don't forget to link it up to this thread so we can check it out.

Featured Project - challenge 19

2012-02-09T08:34:00.003-05:00

Chek out this layout that was submitted by Helen for Challenge #19 - Line it Up and Stretch it Out.

I love how Helen used both the photos and the the decorative trim to move your eye across the page. Great job on this Helen and thanks for playing along.

Go visit Helen's blog: Never Enough Time and leave her a comment to let her know you were there ... and while you're there, why not become a follower of her blog so you can continue to be inspired by her work.

Challenge #20 die cuts and tags

2012-02-06T09:00:00.006-05:00

Hey there UYS peeps.

Welcome back, it's time for another challenge and this week I want you to....

use your die cuts and tags. You may have some sticker sheets hanging around from paper collection packs those qualify for this too. Dig into your stuff and find those die cuts.

I grabbed a bunch of die cuts and randomly covered the background on this layout and created a tone on tone look with lots of texture.

I can't wait to see how you're going to use your die cuts.

Happy Crafting!

Lynne

I don't have a die cut machine, so I have to rely on precut, store-bought die cuts. I used flowers and the scallop border from some old stash that has been hanging around forever. I can't even tell you which set it was. Just don't throw anything away as sooner or later it will match something. Just enjoy your scrappy time. There is always some treasure to unearth in your stash.

Bronwyn Here! Gosh I love using my stuff up! There's no guilt in buying anything new if you make sure you use up old stuff, right??

For this layout, I use an title diecut from WeRMemory Keepers and some diecut stars from October Afternoon.

Barb

OK, I'm a little late to this party! Sorry about that. I really think life should have a hold buttone.

Here's my layout for this challenge. All the die cuts were made with my cricut. The photos were put into a collage using Picasa - love that programme!!

Featured project challenge 18

Challenge #19 Line it Up and Stretch it Out

2012-01-30T09:00:00.023-05:00

Good Monday morning everyone. How are your creative projects going? Are you like me and enjoy these winter months - staying cozy inside and getting lots done? I'm always more motivated at this time of the year.

Our challenge this week is to line it up and stretch it out.
I'm a very linear scrapbooker so this challenge keeps me in my comfortzone. Line it up ... your photos, embellishments,page elements, whatever you wish. Just line them up ... and thenstretch it out - across your page - across two pages. If cards are your thing, then keep it long and lean.
Let's see you s-t-r-e-t-c-h!

I did a layout for this challenge:

Joy

Okay Barb I'm all lined up and stretched out.

Bronwyn :

Here is mine! I love 2-page LOs so this was right in my comfort zone, too!

I used all 4x6 photos and S_T_R_E_T_C_H_E_D them in 2 long rows. To emphasize the length, I added some long lines of ric-rac and down the edges of the vertical row of photos I used up a hundred itty-bitty word stickers as a little frame.

Lynne

I like to do horizontal 8.5 x 11 layouts so I stretched the photos clear across the entire LO.
I even stitched together some photos to make it panoramic.

Challenge #18 - White + One

2012-01-23T09:00:00.039-05:00

Hi everyone! Bronwyn here. It's time for another new challenge here at Use Your Stuff.

Here is a challenge that sounds easy on the surface, but I found, once I got started, that it was VERY hard to stick to!

Your Challenge: Use only White and ONE other colour!!

I love colour. I love pattern. Sticking to white + one was tricky, but I managed this:

(The green border looks like another colour of cardstock border, but actually it is the wall that I used as background for my photo!)

No patterned paper here -only 2 sheets of cardstock, my paper punches and a few stickers from Echo Park (and a cute little picture of my little lady!)

Joy

I always find working with white hard, I really don't use it as is very often in large amounts.
I tried stamping white one white, you can't see is very well in pictures. In person it's subtle but visible.
I chose brown as my +one.....and used a dark and a light shade.

a bit of detail

I broke out some micro breads, twine and some paper that's been

sitting in my stash quite a while for this weeks challenge.

Barb
Well, I'm a little late to the party, but at least I made it.
I loved this challenge. I love the look of tone on tone. This week I even found this inspirational site about using white plus one : White With One so if you love this look too and want some further inspiration, you gotta check it out.
Ok, on to my layout:

2012-01-17T09:00:00.000-05:00

Challenge 17- blue, green, orange & brown

2012-01-16T09:00:00.006-05:00

Hello everybody, Joy here. It's my turn to set the challenge this week and I'm feelin' the

need for a change of pace. I have been working with holiday colours for the past while so I dug

into my stash to find some bright summery colours. Your challenge this week is to use....

blue, green, orange and brown on your creations.

sketch credit

Happy crafting!

Now it's my turn. I'm Bronwyn and I am the newest contributor to UYS. Here is my take on this fabulous colour combo:

I used a mix of October Afternoon papers and my tag-shaped punch to create a background for a picture from my oldest son's 7th birthday.

Barb
Fabulous layouts ladies.
...and now for mine:

It's funny how I can start with an idea in my head and end up sith something completely different. I suppose that's what creativity is all about. I just used a mix of odds and ends of patterned paper that I had layting around. The embellishments are K & Company. The journaling was done on the old-school dymo labeller. It's strips of white-core card stock that I put through and then sanded.

2012-01-02T07:30:00.006-05:00

Happy new year & welcome back to Use You Stuff. I hope you enjoyed your holidays and time with family as much as I did. I feel like December went by with a blink of an eye. Seeing as we are starting a new year we would like to start something new here on the blog.

Each week we would like to highlight some of the projects that are being posted/linked to each challenge. So if you link up your projects you may find yourself being featured here on UYS.

Lets get into the first challenge of 2012.

Your challenge is use numbers as a major design element on your layout.

I found a numbers die cut that has been sitting in my stash for quite a while as inspiration for this weeks challenge.

I'm looking forward to seeing your interpretation of this weeks challenge. Happy crafting !

Lynne

Welcome to 2012 everyone. I decided to do a cover page for my 2011 album. All of these pictures have beens scrapped and are on their own individual layouts.

Barb

Here's my layout for this challenge. It's the last layout for my December Daily project. I knew this countdown border would be perfect for this challenge. It's from Silhouette.

See you next year

2011-12-12T08:45:00.019-05:00

From all of us here at Use Your Stuff

We wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season.

For the Holidays - challenge #14

2011-12-05T08:45:00.033-05:00

Well the weather outside isn't that frightful but I'm still inside and working up a storm in my craft-room.
I'm not sure about you but I am knee deep in holiday decorations and projects. I love to create Christmas gifts for my family, this year is chock-full of goodness. Cards, mini-books, calendars and more.

Since I'm in a festive mood I thought this week would be perfect to challenge you to use your favourite holiday colours. We want to see your Christmas cards, holiday themed layouts and your home decor projects if your making them.

Christmas colours galore.....I told ya I was in a festive mood. :)

Hey Barb, Janet and Lynne! What have you been making with your stuff?

Barb

I've tackled the December Daily and have been right on track with my layouts for this project. I'll share two of them here, and the rest is on my blog: A Day in my Life

Lynne

I made a Chanaukah tag and a nice LO about one of my favorite parts of the holiday - eating and making Potato Latkes. My son and daughter-in-law put up a HUGE batch of latkes every Chanokah. They have three fry pans on the stove working all at once.

Challenge # 13 - Scrapping with Scraps

2011-11-28T08:21:00.002-05:00

Good Monday morning ladies. It's time for another challenge.
My challenge this time is going to be a very quick and easy one because if you're like me, life is becoming very full at this time of the year.

My challenge is to dig into your scraps. you can use one (or two for a two-paged layout) full sheet of cardstock for your background. Everything else must be from your old scraps. Dig them out and use them up. ...and since this blog is about using your stuff, I'm going to suggest that you dig into your older embellishments to use them up - but that's not a neccessity.

Here's my layout. I have so many scraps that I could probably scrap for a whole year without cutting into any new sheets of patterned paper (but then what fun would that be?)

Enjoy the challenge and don't forget to come back here and link your finished project here. We'd love to see what you come up with.

Since I still have a prize left over from the last challenge I did, I will extend it to this challenge. So, for everyone who complete's this challenge and uploads it here by December 12th your name will be put into a random draw for the prize.

Come on girls, let's Use Your Stuff!

Joy

This layout really took the scrapping with scraps seriously.

A few leftover strips and pieces that I could cut into circles, that's all.

Even the title and birds were cut from scraps. I added a few stamps and

chipboard embellishments then called this layout done.

Summer Blues

2011-11-21T09:00:00.003-05:00

Seeing how the weather is starting to get wetter and colder....I'm missing the sunny warmer weather so my challenge is to do anything from summer that makes your day....I'm having the-----Summer Blues

Barb
Summer for me usually involves water. I always have some kind of water layout on the go. So, on this chilly November morning, here's my reminder of summer and what always makes me smile. ...and as always, it's great to use my stash!

Lynne

'Life's a Beach' isn't it?? I took Janet's post literally, by scrapping with the color Blue and documenting a favorite summertime past time. I don't get to do this very often anymore, so when my daughter suggested a special day just for us at the beach followed by dinner out for clams, who was I to argue. Thanks Janet for making me remember these good times.

November Color Challenge - White

2011-11-14T09:00:00.018-05:00

We had Nor'Easter snowstorm here a few day before Halloween. Very, very unusual for New England. So in honor of the very early snowfall, I want to see a monochromatic WHITE layout or card. Step outside your 'color' box and let's see what you can come up with when you don't use very much color. I will let you use a very tiny bit as an accent, but I want to see WHITE. Here is my example using Basic Grey's Just the Basics. It is one of my favorite lines. I hope you like it too.

Let's see what the other ladies can do. I am sure they will be just wonderful.

Joy

This was a hard challenge for me this week. White, white & more white.

Thank goodness we were allowed to use an accent colour.

Barb
What a fun challenge this was. I work a lot on white backgrounds but I don't think I've every done a layout with just white (and a touch of green). I think I will be doing this again.

Challenge #10~ Stamp it Up

2011-11-07T08:00:00.007-05:00

Are you ready?

It's time to dig into your stash and get out those stamps.

The sky's the limit, use your stamps this week anyway you want. Stamp it Up!

To all of you readers and challenge participants THANK YOU for taking the time to visit UYS, we have really enjoyed visiting your blogs & seeing your wonderful creations.

I can't believe that 10 weeks have passed by so quickly. Ten challenges, 40 layouts and lots of fun!

Thank you to my fellow creative contributors for all your inspiring work over the past 10 weeks.

I hope you can join us for the challenge this week, have fun gettin' inky!

Now lets see what Lynne, Barb & Janet have been up to this week......

Janet's Cards

(digi stamps from Bugaboo!)

Barb
For my layout I stamped the title and got out a new splash stamp that I found. Then I used my newest addiction - embossing powder. I can't get enough!

Lynne

OK, I stamped. It took me all week to get this done. I apologize for the delay. I will be a first time grandma sometime in April. Isn't the newest member to my family adorable? BTW, I stamped cute little red hearts on the flowers.

It's the Little Things that Count

2011-10-31T08:48:00.037-04:00

Happy Monday everyone. It's hard to believe that we're at the end of another month and that tomorrow is November 1st! If you're anything like me, the arrival of colder weather means that I get back into my scrapping grove. Whether that's the case for you, or not, it's time to pull out your stuff and get busy again. This week's challenge is about the little bits of embellishments that tend to get thrown aside because they don't seem like they're good for anything but maybe cards, or smaller projects. For me, these smaller embellishments are great because I like to cluster my embellishments anyway. So, get them out, and get them onto your pages or projects. Cluster them in groups, or layer them onto your title or larger embellishments.

Here's my example:

Don't forget to come back and link your finished project up to here. I'm giving you two weeks to submit a project for this challenge. Infact, submit more. For every project linked up through Mr. Linky it will be put in a draw for a free prize. So, get creating, and submitting. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Here's what the other Creative Contributors came up with for this challenge:

Joy

Like Barb I like to cluster and layer my embellishments.

I used scrap pieces to punch out circles, stamps & the last left over

pearls from another project. Gosh those hats are awful!

Janet's

I used a lot of old stickers that I had!

Lynne

I had a lot of ribbon hanging around. I haven't really used ribbons in a very long time.

PUNCH IT OUT!

2011-10-24T09:00:00.040-04:00

Get out those punches of yours and punch it up! Use your border punches and some of the fancy punches that you have in your stash! PUNCH IT OUT with your Layouts!

Barb

I don't have a lot of punches, but I do have the notebook punch and I love it. The only problem is that I don't get it out often enough, so thanks, Janet, for the reminder. Here's my layout for this challenge using the notebook punch.

Joy

I really enjoyed this challenge and got a bit punch happy. I cut out a bunch of 4's to

cover the background on this birthday card. I used some vintage photo distress ink around

the edges of the numbers to help them pop of the card base. I love those little monsters.

Lynne
Well unlike Barb, I have more punches than I will ever use. But they are an addiction. In this layout I used one of my many Fiskars border punches, a circle punch and a very old McGill leaf punch. Thanks for the challenge Janet. I got to use some punches. Woohoo!!

Challenge #7 - October Orange

2011-10-17T09:00:00.020-04:00

So all of you that have known me for any length of time, you know my favorite color is ORANGE. So since this is my challenge , I figured I would use my favorite color with a few variations, plus one other color, TURQUOISE. Of course, black and or white is welcome in your layouts.

The only other twist I ask of you is to try an 8.5 x 11 layout (11 x 8. is even better). You can always mount this to a 12 x 12 paper later on and add more embellishments.

Here is your inspiration. I hope your think the colors are as pretty as I do.

Here is an example of what I did with these colors. (The orange is actually very vivid. Darn scan) Hope you like it.

I can't wait to see what the other ladies have come up with.

Janet

Joy

This week I added a few extra colours to the combo Lynne gave us and this layout evolved into a 2 page spread. Sometimes layouts take a different direction from the idea you started with.

Barb
I finally got mine done. I don't ever work in this size so it was a bit of a challenge, but I guess that's the whole idea of a challenge.

Challenge # 6~ Put YOUR Picture on it

2011-10-10T09:00:00.032-04:00

Happy Thanksgiving! We hope are enjoying your holiday weekend.

Hello Use Your Stuff friends, we're glad you could stop by.

I'm changin' it up this week. I am not going to ask you to dig into your stash of goodies for something specific but I'm going to ask you to dig into your stash of photos.You can choose any of your favourite stuff this week (YAY!).....dig deep into your piles of photos and find one of you. That's right you.

I am challenging you to make a layout about yourself with some easy journaling, list style.
Come up with a list of 25 random facts about yourself and write or type them out and include that list on your layout.

Now the list might be the challenge for you this week just remember you can reference any part of your life that you wish. You are not confined or restricted, include anything that tells the reader about you.

So UYS creative crew, what did you come up with this week?

Lynne

Janet

Barb
I finally got around to doing this challenge, and what a challenge it was for me. It's hard to come up with 25 random facts! Anyway, I decided to do mine in the form of a Smash Book page. I love how it turned out.

Show us what you got!

Don't forget to share it, we love checking out your blogs.

Challenge #5 - Playing With Blocks

2011-10-03T09:00:00.048-04:00

I love multi-photo layouts. Rarely do I do a layout with just one photo. To top it off, I'm a linear scrapper. Because of this, one of my favourite design techniques is to block my photos together to make them like one. Doing this allows me to use a lot of single photo sketches (especially if they're a 5x7 photo sketch) or single photo layouts for inspiration.So, my challenge for you this week is to block your photos together.Here's my example:

Janet

Challenge #4 Mist it baby

2011-09-26T09:00:00.040-04:00

Welcome back to another Use Your Stuff challenge, I'm excited to host my first challenge here.
This weeks the challenge is to get out your mists and use them on your layout or project.
Use it a lot or use it a little, make it sparkle or make it splatter or get out a paint brush and colour
your world.

Just mist it baby!

Here on my layout I used my October Afternoon sprinklers to spray my title

before I adhered it to my page.

It's time to check out what the other creative contributors made for this weeks challenge.

Joy

I created my own background using Mr. Huey's lemonade mist and a mask I cut on the Silhouette

called flower_4_petal_square. I can see myself using this technique quite a bit,

in card making and scrapbooking.

Lynne

I don't usually Mist anything. In fact I had ot find my mists. I had painted the chipboard arrows bright yellow as purple & yellow are the school colors for AlfredU. This layout is going in my daughters college album so I am trying to stick to those school colors. Anyway, the yellow color was too bright so I used Tattered Angels Graphite mist and dulled the color just enough. I see that am going to have to use my mists more often.

Barb

I finally got mine done for this challenge. I had some fun with my mists, but I used them a little differently. I didn't mist the background paper. I used my mists to colour my chipboard letters and the chipboard circle. I used two colours - glitter brown and orange. Unfortunately the picture doesn't do it justice, but I really like the effect. They have a nice shimmer to them.

I also sprayed the mist on a sponge and used it to ink all around the edges of the layout and the journaling strips - again, it has a nice shimmer to it.

I will definately be playing with my shimmer mists again very soon.

It's now your turn to commit to the mist!

We love seeing your creations so don't forget use mr. linky below.

Color Challenge - Challenge #3

2011-09-19T09:00:00.014-04:00

HI everyone. This is my first challenge and I thought since I have always been a huge fan of COLOR, I would host a color challenge on a monthly basis! . The more colors the better in my opinion.
I really don't want the warmer months to end, although I do love the autumn color palette too. So in honor of spring and summer colors, here are my color choices for September. Easy, fun colors. Enjoy!

Orange, Pink, Green, Yellow and Blue

And here is my example. See.....now don't you fell all warm inside. When you are done with this challenge, you can think about Fall, OK?

Let's see what the other ladies come up with.

Joy
I couldn't get all 5 colours on one card so I made four.

Barb
Of course I couldn't use these colours without it being a beach theme.
Here it is:

Janet

Don't forget to use Mr. Linky below to show us your project, you could be featured on
the Use Your Stuff blog.

Challenge #2 Intended Use

2011-09-12T09:00:00.023-04:00

Good morning & thanks for stoping in to check out this weeks challenge.

It's time to look at your supplies in a different way. In this weeks challenge we are asking you to pick out a tool, an embellishment, a border punch or anything else that you can use in a different way from it's intended use.

My tool of choice....an eyelet setter. I used it to create a worn or distressed edge to some papers.

Here are a few suggestions to help get the ideas flowing:

~Put paint on an embossing folder before you use it

~Use a border punch and create a rolled flower

~Pick out some photo corners and use them to make an arrow

~Attach brads to your page with the wings opened on front of your layout

Don't forget to link your finished project using Mr. Linky so we can check it out.

Now let's see what the rest of the creative contributors have come up with.......

Barb

I really needed to put my thinking cap on for this challenge. In the end I came up with the idea of using my paper crimper to make an "accordian flower" on the right side of the page.

Lynne

Here is my challenge entry. I too had some problems thinking of something to use and to be honest, I elicited some help from friends. I grabbed my paint and a sticker to use as a mask to get my journal spot (Cannon Hall Rm 214).

We can't wait to see what interesting new uses you have for your stuff !

Lets Get Started! Challenge # 1

2011-09-05T09:00:00.022-04:00

Hello everyone. My name is Barb and I'm one of your challengers.

I'm so excited to get going on this fun new blog - not only to post challenges, but to be inspired by others.

So, lets get going.

The first challenge is a quick and fun challenge. It's an ad challenge. Use the advertisement below to inspire your card, layout or project. Use any or all of the elements.

When you complete your project, post it on your blog, or online somewhere with a link back here. Then come back and post the link to where we can find it through Mr. Linky below so we can check it out.

Here's my interpretation of the ad:

Have fun with the challenge. Don't forget to show us what you create.

We think you may be wondering how this is going to work?

Here are the details.

Every Monday someone from your Creative Contributors will post a challenge that we hope will help you use some of your stash and inspire some creative projects.

The project you create can be anything you want it to be, all you have to do is link your project at the bottom of
the challenge that you are participating in. It's that simple.

Who doesn't love simple.

Pop back in on Monday September 5th to see your first challenge. We hope you able to join us, we can't wait to see what you create.

Get ready to Use Your Stuff !
