Challenge #158 - Pet/Animal Challenge

Welcome to another week here at Use Your Stuff! It's Amanda and this week I would love for you to show us a project inspired by your pet! If you don't have a pet feel free to do a project that is animal related in some other way. 

My layout is of one of our dear doggies, Tucker. This was Christmas 2010 and he was not very impressed about having to go near Santa - this picture, with my husband in the between the two of them, was the best we could do!

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Here are my pound puppies Tonka  & Pickles taken in their younger years.  They are seniors now over 10 years old but still as frisky as ever

We are also joined this week by our Guest Designer Majo who created this wonderful Halloween tag for this week's challenge! Check out that really cool black cat.  Such wonderful textures and layers!

Challenge #157

Hello!  And welcome to another Monday challenge at

Use Your Stuff.  This weeks challenge is a photo

inspiration challenge.  If you're a regulare follower of 

Use Your Stuff, you know that typically 

I posts scrapbook layouts with my challenges. 

 This week, I decided to change

things up a bit, and make a card. 

 Something that I've been doing more often lately.  

So, without further adue,  here is the photo insperation:

And here is my card.  I took inspiration from the colors, and the Fall leaves 

that are in abundance here in the Washington DC area.

Renee

I love, love, love fall colors,  I was inspired by the photo to do a little coloring and make a card using the spice colors of fall.

Tammy

I love fall colors and I especially love that I get to use my big maple leaf punch for fun autumn cards!

Amanda

I went with a layout inspired by the leaves and fall colors in the photo inspiration. These are from our family photo shoot last fall.

Now it's your turn!  Don't forget to link up your project. 

 And I can't wait to see what

you come up with!  Have a great week!

Challenge #156 - Fall

Good Monday Morning!  Time for a new challenge here at Use Your Stuff...the leaves are starting to fall, the colors are changing and the rich hues of autumn are all about.  Autumn is the theme of this week's challenge...the colors, the smells, the festivities...whatever inspires you.

Michelle

I just love FALL colors - my favorite palette indeed! There you have the colors of fall which I did the background though misting, some vines and some maple leaves from rubons

Amanda

Fall colors are my favorite colors to scrap with as well. Our little guy was born at the end of September so it is the perfect time for our yearly photo shoot with all the beautiful colors!

Tammy
I'm not a big fan of fall, as it signals the soon to be start of winter which in Calgary seems to last 9 months! However, that being said, I adore the wonderful fall colors...the reds, yellows, oranges, browns...ahhh so pretty.
