Sharon's little fox is so cute!

Monica made this card using up some pattern paper scraps from her scrap basket that matched a stamp she recently got. Old + new! A win win!

March Guest Designer

  Today we get to welcome our March Guest Designer: Jessica Shurts! 

Hello, my name is Jessica Shurts. I live in Minnesota with my husband and 5 kids ages 16, 14, 12, 10, and 4 1/2. I started scrapbooking when I was in high school. Between cooking meals and driving my kids to all their activities (lots of soccer and dance), I love using fun papers and products to tell my family's stories and using my Cricut to make unique embellishments and titles for my layouts. I love Stick It Down sketches as a starting point for my layouts and cards. I use the double-page sketches for my month-in-review layouts. This month's sketch was used for April 2022.

You can see more of my work on my blog, Create and Share.

Jessica is one of our avid double-page followers, so it's no surprise that she decided to use the double-page sketch to create her layout!

We would love to have a chance to spotlight your work and become a guest designer! All you have to do is play along with our monthly challenges and upload your layout! We randomly choose winners each month and those winners become our guest designers. 

I hope that inspires you to get crafting so we can feature your work next!

March Single Page Team!

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It's single page layout reveal week over here at Stick It Down - this month's sketch was created by our Single Page Girls, Brandi:

Our featured designer of the month Bethany created this awesome layout, documenting some travel memories. She created the diamond background using paperfolding technique - we love her take on the sketch!

Jane scrapbooked an old family photo of her and her mom using this month's sketch. She used the Shine collection from Maggie Holmes and she added some interest to her page by adding buttons to the color swatch paper - we love the vintage feel of her layout!

Brandi created a layered background by adding diecut shapes on top of some stencilling - we love all the geometrical shapes she used on her layout!

We hope you find our layouts inspiring - be sure to join in with our sketch challenge! You have until the end of the month to play along with any - or all! - of our challenges... just create a layout based on one of our sketches and link your entry in our sidebar.  If you share on social media, please use the hashtag #StickItDown.  We’ll choose one winner from the entries and they will be invited to guest design for us in May!

March Double Page Sketch Challenge

We're here to kick off another month by revealing our double-page design team's unique creations! 

 Lauren Mullarkey started us off with a fun sketch and our team adapted it to fit their needs. Take a peek at what they made and then join us with your own take!

Bethany

Here I am still scrapbooking Christmas photos in March! Haha! Here's some precious moments from my family's Christmas in 2021. I used Vicki Boutin's Warm Wishes collection to complete it.

Sharon

I inverted the two pages because of the way my photos worked out. :)  I used several "older" embellishments and some die cuts to complete my layout. 

Antonia

I was super-excited to use the new Simple Vintage Life in Bloom collection from  Simple Stories on this layout, documenting a day out with my family.

Maureen

This sketch worked perfectly to document these precious Easter memories.  Used Photoplay's Bunnies and Blooms.  Added some Mintay Chippies for added dimension.

What fun layouts! I hope this motivates you to pull out some paper and get scrapping!

 We're loving the February card sketch & wait until you see Pennie's card this month. Such a pretty card and could even be used for an anniversary card.

February card team!

 This heart card was perfect this month for all of the valentines in your life!

Sharon added this cute Pug to her greeting.

The pop of black really pops on Sherry's pink & white card.

Two cards for this months inspiration! Visit Sherry's BLOG for more details on how they were made.

Since it is Valentine's Day this month, I embraced the hearts in the sketch. I loved this type of card sketch since I was able to use up old scraps - Mandi

Monica switched it up & added a lot of shine for a St. Patty themed card using glitter gel, a stencil, an embossing folder and Perfect Pearls.

We're loving the creative interpretation of Maureen OSullivan's card this month!

February Guest Designer: Alicia O'Bryant

 Today we get to welcome our February Guest Designer: Alicia O'Bryant! 

Hi I am Alicia O'Bryant.  I am so excited to be a guest designer for Stick It Down this month.  I live in Cincinnati, OH. I have been married to my husband for almost 10 years.  I have one grown son and one fur baby.  I have been scrapping since just before my son was born over 20 years ago. The craft has evolved so much since I began.  Like a lot of crafters, I am a hoarder and it gives me such pleasure to use up all that old product mixed with the latest trends.  I also make cards which increases the amount of different techniques I employ in my crafting. Die cutting and paper piecing are favorites.  I am currently learning to master coloring with alcohol markers.  Besides crafting, my husband and I love to travel and go to concerts.  We go on an annual trip to Jamaica to see our favorite band with some of our best friends which I have featured in today's project.  I used all solid cardstock paired with some interesting ephemera including tickets, bingo markers and crinkle ribbon.  I hope it inspires you to scrap your good memories.

February Double Page Sketch Team

  

Welcome to February and a month where we get to focus on all things LOVE! Lauren created this fun Valentine's-themed sketch and then our design team each took a turn putting their creative brains to work! You'll notice each of us actually used the sketch to document something other than Valentine's Day---and that's ok! Do whatever you feel led to scrapbook!

Lauren

I created a layout for my pregnancy album about setting up my daughter's nursery.  It's pinks and purple florals with some Beatrix Potter Bunnies.  I even handmade her mobile out of felt. 

Bethany

This layout is about my daughter's first birthday! I found that fun cake-cut file and knew it had to be used with these photos! This was such a fun day that I now get to remember forever. 

  Sharon

This layout worked great for several photos of my husbands Birthday.  Always fun for family to get together for any occasion.

Maureen OSullivan

Antonia

I combined Autumn and winter collections to create this layout documenting about how pumpkins are stored during the cold winter month in the countryside.

 

Isn't it fun to see how differently everyone uses one idea? 

We want to see yours! Be sure to post your creation so we can see what you were inspired by!
