Love This LO for a Counterfeit Kit Challenge

Good Morning and welcome :) 2nd challenge of the month over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog Tara says:  I'd like to challenge you to use ABSOLUTELY NO PINK on your layouts! I know-the collection has lots of pink in it.  However, it also has blue, green, and kraft! Create a layout without using pink.

No problem!  Love this challenge as for me no pink means nature photos usually with all the green. So I focused on the greens in my kit

Chose a page maps sketch for my layout design. I had fun creating this layout with 5 photos too. The ribbon in the tag came from last month's kit that roll is still sitting on my desk.

Thank you for stopping by today and seeing what I'm up to in my little corner of the world. I hope you join us over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog for this fun challenge.

Seneca Falls LO for Sketch N Scrap challenge

Good Morning and welcome. Here we are in the middle of April, we have been having some wet weather, lots of rain. Seasonal temps though. We got a fun challenge layout over at Sketch N Scrap for the day. This sketch was created by Lori

This was a fun layout to play with and came together very quickly

Getting through the waterfalls at Ricketts Glen State Park is going smoothly with just a few left to do with fun sketches like this. I have a very nature/neutral kit I've been using to capture these pictures.

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I created and can't wait to see what you create from this cool sketch over at Sketch N Scrap blog.

 

CKC - April 2024 Kit Reveal - Spirit of Spring

Welcome to my blog and the 1st of April that means it's a new inspiration for us over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge kits to challenge us to look through our own stash and choose a kit to play with. 1st you should have arrived here from Julene's Blog I'm looking forward to checking out her kit and see what inspired her.

Tara is our host this month and she says:

For this month's inspiration kit, I chose a digital kit from Traci Reed's Designs!  I chose this kit because it's a little different than what we've been doing.  I also see a few items that we can counterfeit for Forgeries on the Fourth!  This will a fun kit to recreate!

Let's take a look at the main kit!  Look at all that wood veneer!

 Here's a photo of the papers individually so you can get a better view of those.  Paper is always the basis of my kits and where I typically start!

 

Love the colors of this kit the navy blue, corals and kelly green is a great nod to Spring green and blues skies. Here is my kit for April:

Spirit of Spring

Here are the papers I chose using some from Simple Stores, Cocoa Vanilla, PinkFresh Studio and some from some paper pads too.

The wood I chose:

Close up #1 has the embellishments that I pulled from Simple Stories

Close up #2 some PinkFresh Studios and the 3 colors of mists I want to use with this kit

Close up #3 some diecuts, chipboard and buttons

Close up #4 Lots of embellishments from PinkFresh Studios Simple the Best

Kitting LO for a Counterfeit Kit Challenge

 Good Morning and welcome :) 3rd challenge of the month over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog Julene chose a Page Maps sketch for the challenge

I even dressed up the inside of the card

CKC - March 2024 Kit Reveal - Chase Your Dreams

Welcome to my blog and the 1st of March that means it's a new inspiration for us over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge kits to challenge us to look through our own stash and choose a kit to play with. 1st you should have arrived here from Ryann's Instagram I'm looking forward to checking out her kit and see what inspired her. We are thrilled to have Jessica Haab join us as Guest Forger, she posts regularly on our community page so check that out too. Make sure you leave her some love!!!
Julene is our host this month and she says:

The kit I have chosen for March is   Citrus Twist Kits "Parasol"    

  PARASOL 12 x 12 Kit – Citrus Twist Kits

It has a Spring vibe which should appeal, plus many different ideas for kit forgeries. There's a floral theme underlying the papers and cut aparts. Maggie Holmes papers appear. It is a pretty kit. 

The kit definitely has a Spring vibe to it, I went with oranges instead of the lemons in the kit. 

Here is my kit for March:

Chase Your Dreams

I love the inspirational kit, love the blues and yellows together in this kit and what I thought I was going to use before I left for vacation has since changed when I got back as this kit will work out well with any photos of the trip I scrap and still coordinate with the chosen papers from the album we were putting together on the ship. Yep, I took my very 1st Scrapbooking Cruise and have to say it was an AWESOME experience to enjoy my hobby while I'm on vacation too.

Papers: 

I chose a variety from my drawers of loose papers, Pinkfresh Studio Flower Market that had the Spring vibe going as well as some from Vicki Boutin's Printshop collection and some Prima Nature Lover collection to bring in the birds in the inspirational kit

Close ups:

I had no pompom ribbon so brought in some other ribbons, twine and fiber

Hit the Flower Market for most of my embellishments for my kit

made sure to bring in some wood buttons too and maybe get some of the packs onto pages, set of stamps that I thought might be fun to use too

I grabbed a Blue alpha from the Flower Market collection and the white words and the BoBunny candy dots from a Not Just for Boys kit, the stamps came from the kit too. The PL cards I keep handy in a tray so I always have them available to me and my mixed media I will use when it's needed. That's it, that's my kit for March I hope to get further along with it then I did my February kit ;) Thanks for stopping by today to my little corner of the world.
