Crafts in the Command Center: Rediscover Your Stash YT Hop

I'm participating in a YouTube hop with others from Rediscover Your Stash (check below for more details). I love these stashbuster challenges because I really do bash some stash!

The stash to bust this month is acrylics. I started off thinking I was going to use acrylic paint on this layout, but I'm not really a fan of wet mediums on my scrapbook layouts. I don't like the wrinkling of paper and overall look.

As I was contemplating what I was going to do, it dawned on me to use the multiple sizes of acrylic blocks as a stamp! I used an assortment of colored inks from my stash and just stamped all over.

After stamping multiple ink colors all over the page, I used a fine point black marker and outlined each "square". I used a script stamp to add interest using generational stamping. Once I added the photos, I added the acrylic stars, labels and a base for the title to the page/photos. Each label has a very short description of the photo since this is a Month in Review layout.

Stickers were used for the title and an acrylic paint black marker & white were used to dress them up.

This layout is completely different than what I would have imaged but I really like it. It's a little funky but works for this Month in Review layout.

Acrylics Used:

Acrylic blocks for stamping; Acrylic black stars for embellishments; Acrylic black paint marker to change the look of the letter stickers
