**STASHBUSTERS CHALLENGE-- JULY 30th-AUGUST 11th**

[scrapnatya]

Everyone is welcome to play. Pick a prompt and jump right in!

Prompts are open for two weeks.

The more you play, the more chances you have to win a small scrapping goody from me (and some others who are donating prizes!!) and the more pages you will get done!

Please link up your creation in this thread for a chance to win.

You can submit more than one page/project for each challenge so feel free to make use of your inspiration.

**You can combine all these prompts. Each prompt you use is good for one chance to win...so use 3 prompts on one layout = 3 chances to win!***

We all like to get comments on our pages so if you are playing along please try to find the time to return the favor!

Deadline for these challenges are MONDAY AUGUST 11th @ 11:59 pm PST

[Rachelle]

Awesome prompts! I am looking forward to getting some stuff done this time around!

[nylene]

Thanks, Marianne! I'm working on Disney pictures. I'm off to find a DT member who has used extra large photos on a page so I can scraplift.

I really appreciate your continuing this challenge. It's always fun. Nylene

[nylene]

I began working on a DT scraplift with some of my 5x7 photos, but I'm struggling with them. I decided to let them sit on my desk for a while and I began cutting circles for prompt #1. I've had this piece of mesh in my drawer for ages, and decided the circles needed to be toned down so used it like vellum to soften the colors. This was a fun one to do.

[Rachelle]

I got my first entry, for prompt #1:

[Rachelle]

I have a second entry, for the sketch challenge:



I guess we can't group the pictures together, so I guess I am putting them in separately, so sorry about that! If there is a way to group them together that someone knows about, I would love to hear about it!

[nylene]

Rachelle, I can't tell you how touched I was by your layout and your journaling. Very tender!

I have finished a page for the "white space" prompt. When you scrap 8.5x11, there's not a lot of room for white space with a 4x6 photo and some scrappy stuff, but this is my interpretation.

[Rachelle]

Thank you Nylene, you ladies are all so sweet!

[Patricia]

Love seeing this thread and all of the projects. Beautiful work ladies!

[nylene]

I have finished another layout for the white space prompt. This is another Disney. I'm sure you'll get sick of Disney layouts before I finish them.

Thanks for continuing to play Nylene and Rachelle. I might end up keeping these prompts up all month and start fresh in September.

[runzalot81]

Awesome prompts and samples!

[nylene]

Marianne, if you keep these same prompts for the next two weeks, could we talk you into also adding a 6th one
so we can go back and do some of the ones we didn't get done previously? There were so many great ones that I didn't get done during the 2 week period.

Great idea Nylene!

[DeniseM]

Gorgeous ideas. Love these.

[vikkimags]

So, is that official? These prompts and the last ones until September? Because in that case, I have some pages to upload. I have missed the last two rounds because I always tell myself I'll get my computer out after my girls get to bed. Oh, the grand plans I always have for after I get the girls to bed.
(And I'm going to try to get some done tomorrow Marianne, you'll be my witness! )

(And I'm going to try to get some done tomorrow Marianne, you'll be my witness! )

I will make sure you get some pages done!

[robkaynel]

Here is one for #1 & #2

[Scrappin' Kathy]

The first challenge since I got involved with Cocoa Daisy. I'm going to try and find time this weekend to do a layout. Thanks for the wonderful ideas. I tend to put lots on my pages so the prompt of leaving lots of white space may get me thinking outside the box. Thanks.

[vikkimags]

This is actually from the last round of prompts. Use this recipe. My nephew at 9 months...
