Moxie by Dana Tatar - June Stamp It Up Challenge

Hi! Dana Tatar here today sharing my take on Denise's Stamp It Up June Challenge. A fabulous sentiment stamp about dogs from Viva Las Vegastamps! and a sweet photo my husband's cousin's dog Moxie was my starting point for this page. I also used the current sketch from Blue Fern Studios to give me some direction.

I used a wonderful grey piece of 7 Dots Studio Destination Unknown patterned paper for the base of this layout. I love the neutral background! I then added color with pieces of scrap paper, vintage postcards from my Zeus and Zoe Kit, Blue Fern Studios Mini Ring Things and Royal Monarch chipboard, ribbon and flowers.

The sweet sentiment stamp from Viva Las Vegastamps! reads: The reason dogs have so many friends is that they wag their tails instead of their tongues.

We'd love to see how you interpret this challenge! We'd love to have you join us this month!

As usual, we have some amazing prize packages up for grabs:

1st Prize:

Together - A Layout by Cathi

All About Mom - Pay tribute to your own mom or create a project based on your own thoughts & feelings about being a mom.

My layout is all about my wishes for my children, I have used some great quote stickers from 7 Dots Studio to share some of my hopes and wishes for my children: "dream without fear", "love without limits", "why stop dreaming?". I chose a photo of my girls and I much younger (and me much thinner!) and used gorgeous 7 Dots Studio paper.

Here you can see the gorgeous rectangular striped rectangle chippie and heart confetti I used from Um Wow Studio I also used a gorgeous Handmade flower from a Zeus and Zoe kit I purchased.

Another fun Zeus and Zoe jeweled embellishment here, along with some flowers from my stash and more Um Wow Studio heart confetti. I used a mask and some Shimmerz Texturez to add some texture to my layout. Behind the tag are a few private thoughts about motherhood and my two gorgeous girls. I hope you like it and will consider joining in with us these last few days of May!

Our sponsors provided prizes with international shipping included! Yay!!

Mini Inspirational Quote Book by Kay

For this month's challenge--I decided to do something a little different.  I created a mini album & when I say mini--I mean 'mini'.  :-)  This little guy measures 3 1/4" x 3 1/4".  It has a total of 9 pages & each page is a pocket that holds a small tag.

The theme of the mini coincides with this months Spring Fling challenge hosted by Mandy.  The mini is decked out in florals & pastel colors that are identified with Spring.

On the cover I have an image from Zeus & Zoe that I've printed & turned into a little tag.   The pockets & tags in this mini could be used to house small photos but I've decided to use it to store inspirational quotes, sentiments & anything of this sort that has some sort of meaning for me.

Mini is based on the meandering mini tutorial--which is a mini made from one piece of 12x12 card stock.  There are several tutorials available on how to make this mini--either Google 'meandering mini tutorial' or do a search on You Tube & you'll find several tutorials.

Here you can see the pocket pages & a few of the tags that are inserted into the pockets.  I've used papers from the 'Renew' collection by Authentique to make this mini.

The mini is held together by a ribbon closure.

Now onto this months' prizes...
