May/June Design Team picks

Here are the picks from the May and June Design Team challenges. As usual, you all made the choices very difficult and there were some awesome layouts created!!!

Frugal can be good

I wish I was a millionaire.  Then I would have the most amazing scrap room with the most amazing supplies.  I look through the magazines and wonder what it would be like to have things at my disposal - just at a whim to pick up something, a tool, a product whatever and use it.  I look at some people's work and wonder what is in their stash.  HOW much is in their stash.

I have to say, I don't have a lot.  I work from one small cabinet.  I have no "room" but a very useful kitchen table.  I have the inspiration of KC and a few other places.  But most of all, I have my imagination.

I love scalloped edges - but have no scallo

p edger.  So - I used my scissors and went free hand.

Dawn did a lay out once that had this awesome tree in it - so I decided to cut out a tree and see what it looked like - okay, not as cute as the original, but hey I still like it and had fun trying!

And finally - here is my cheapest trick.  I bought this chipboard and LOVED it, but of course ran out.  I liked the shapes so much, I kept the 'blanks' and have used them (more than once) to trace and get more swirly stuff from them.

So my challenge to you - find your inspiration and then do it yourself.  Make it from scratch and not only will you save a couple of bucks, but you will be more creative in the process.  Oh ya, and if you have the chance, buy a lottery ticket so you too and have a scrap room like the one in my dreams.  

Happy Scrapping.
