Welcome to July!
Use the below list to inspire your project. You can use one, some or all the prompts on the list. Substitutions are welcome and encouraged.
• floral
• stripes
• something from your favourite manufacturer
• frames
• enamel dots
• ribbon
All types of projects count (paper, digi, hybrid, PL, art journaling, anything else you create) and if you share your projects online please link them here so we can admire and leave some love. You can find instructions to post in the Refupeas gallery in this thread but shout out if you need help.
I hope you find time to play along and I can't wait to see what everyone creates.
** I'll be unable to post the next challenge at the start of August. Please shout out if you'd like to host the August stash challenge.

Floral, stripes and ribbon... Hmm, I think that sounds like a vintage photo to me. I'm going to have to dig out some oldies and see what I can come up with. Not until next weekend though but I can use these next few days to ponder!

I have pulled a huge plastic bin of stuff from my stash to get ready to scrap my years in California. I'm still looking for some die cuts I made a year or two ago just for this project. Hope I find them or I will have to recut them.
If I do a page during this month that meets the challenge I will post it. It seems very likely I will since almost everything I pulled is old stash.

My granddaughters have been pulling out stash for several days. These girls have not been here at the farm for 2 years, so they were actually LOOKING for the old stuff they remembered.
When I go through it to put it away, I will definitely get right on this challenge.
Too bad washi tape is not on that list. That is one new product the girls fell in love with, and they used that ALOT! Somehow the enamel dots, which are up higher--to keep them out of MY way when crafting, not to keep them safe from the girls--did not get into the action.
Unfortunately, my small hoard of felt DID find its way off the shelf. Or I should say unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of the project it became before they packed up their creations and took them home!

Too bad washi tape is not on that list. You could easily choose a washi that is striped or floral or is from your favourite manufacturer. Or you could use it to make a frame. |

Well, here's my July stash challenge project. Thanks Chinagirl828 for the inspiration! I think I used most everything mentioned. I have the floral and striped paper, a frame, ribbon, buttons are my enamel dots because enamel dots looked too modern for the photos. As far as something from my favourite manufacturer...well, I can't honestly say I have one any more. However, I love thickers of all kinds which are American Crafts and it just so happens the 3 6x6 papers are also from an Amy Tangerine American Crafts 6x6 pad. So I will go with American Crafts for this layout at least. LOL. The little guy is actually my Dad. There were no dates on the photos but he looks to be 3 or 4 so they would be circa 1926-1927 I guess. I absolutely love the fact that I have photos like this. They mean so very much to me.

nitad this is beautiful! I love how the papers look with these darling older photos - I'd always thought of AT as designing quite modern lines. I really like the vintage style frame and the tied ribbon - perfect finishing touches.

nitad Great layout. I love that your wonderful photos of your dad stand out. I hate some layouts I see on other galleries where I have to look twice to see the photo.

Your page is beautiful! I love the way you captured the heritage feel with the wallpaper like pp and wood elements. Great colours, too! |

Thanks for the kind comments on my page!
I was pleased with those papers because they did have a slightly vintage feel but the colors were a little fresher than most typical vintage stuff. The pictures themselves give off such a happy vibe to me and I wanted the papers to match that feeling as well.
Now... What to do with the WWI photos of my great-grandfather that I rediscovered while digging out these pics!! Serious vintage paper needed for those I think!

KikiPea that's a lovely gift album and the SS papers work so well with the variety of photos. I love the embellishments on the Neon Museum pages.

Here is my take on the challenge. This was fun! Thanks! Floral (the bit of BG pp on the banner bottom left) Stripes on Bo Bunny "Take a Hike" pp Fav mfg = Bo Bunny Frames (the one foiled vellum cutapart had a frame built into it. I backed it with cs to emphasize the message, so that frames the frame LOL) Dots: used some Nuvo dots for triangles along the bottom of that message) Ribbon in the top of the tag.  mountains are calling by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |

I was thinking I wouldn't get a layout in this month! My favorite manufacturer items are the pink polka dot and green paper scraps from BG and the letters from OA.  July 2016 stash challenge by Mikk lynn, on Flickr |

Beautiful page mikklynn . Here is my layout. One of my favorite manufacturers is BoBunny who made the striped paper. The wide green stripe is ribbon. I used the brown as my floral although it's really more of a paisley. Thanks for the challenge.  |
