Scrap Our Stash September Guest Sketch Artist

Any one who knows me really well, knows that I love Mexican food! One of my favorite things to eat is stuffed poblano peppers and I usually only get them when we go out to eat. Last year, I decided to try making them at home and loved how they turned out. The fried versions are still my favorite, but after almost having a major mess involving the grease, I knew that I needed to find a different recipe for making them at home. That is when I came across this awesome Stuffed Poblano Peppers recipe from the Cottage Mama. It was really easy to make and I didn't almost catch the house on fire!

I created this Too Good layout to play along with the Scrap Our Stash September Challenge.  I'm very happy to share that I'm this month's Guest Sketch Artist! Along with the fun challenge - use 3 School Supplies on your layout - I also created a sketch for everyone to use. I invite you to head on over to the Scrap Our Stash blog and check out all the great details about the challenge and this month's prize!

To play along with the challenge, I really had to dig into my stash and put my thinking cap on to find some school supplies that would work. Since we don't have children, we don't really have a lot in the way of school supplies in the house, but I was able to come up with 3 supplies that I think fit the challenge perfectly.

1. Graph paper - I found an entire pad of it in my stash and I'm pretty sure I'll be using it again in the near future!

2. Paper clip - Yes, it's gold, but it sure is pretty!

3. Crayons - Last but not least, I used a green crayon to draw a border of little stars all around the outside edge of my layout.

Winter Scrapbook Page Ideas with Digital Cut Files

There are some new digital cut files in the 17turtles Shop and I decided to create a layout using one of these new cut files called Snowflake Background. I have been treasuring several photos from last winter of our dear Milo and I knew this background would go perfectly with this photo of him sitting so pretty as the snow was falling!

I cut the cut file using my Silhouette Cameo from white cardstock and placed it over a background that I created using watercolors and stamps. To keep the paper from warping, I applied a coat of clear Gesso to the front and back of the white cardstock. I learned this fun trick from my scrappy mixed media friend Tracey Sabella!

I also created this layout to play along with the January Scrap Our Stash Challenge. This Stash Challenge this month is to create a layout and include an item from your stash for each letter in the word T-W-I-N-E.  Here is what I used from my stash for each letter:
T = Twine 
W = Watercolor
I = Ink
N = Number Stickers
E = Embellishments

Scrap Our Stash is a wonderful challenge site that is perfect for helping you use up your scrappy stash and if you play along this month, you could win a $20 GC to the 17turtles Shop! So why not play along right?!

I'll be sharing my take on the challenge here shortly. It was a lot of fun coming up with ideas of things to use from my stash that started with the letters in the word T-W-I-N-E!

T - twine, tags, tickets
W - washi tape, white cardstock (or anything white)
I - ink
N - number stickers, negative space, naked chipboard
E - embossing, embossing powder, enamel embellishments/stickers
