Counterfeit layout #3

A special thank you to Crystal for the Hello Kitty Cricut cartridge that I won on her blog on NSD. I love it and I intend to use it soon for cards and scrapbook pages.
Every year my family gets together around Halloween for a Harvest Party. We have a hay ride, pinata, scavenger hunt, fire with marshmallows, and... a donut eating contest. Donuts are tied to a string and then are hanged from a clothesline at different levels. Without hands you have to eat your donut, which is easier said than done since if you don't bite at the right place it will fall on the ground :) I couldn't tell you who ate their whole donut, but I can assure you it is fun.
I used my counterfeit main kit for the papers, thickers and journal block. I used a MS punch to cut the bat border. The orange swirl paper has been in my stash forever. I didn't use any embellishments because I couldn't find anything that looked good and I think it looks good without any.

Counterfeit Kit May Blog Hop

Hi. If you are here for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop, welcome. If you stumbled onto my blog and would like to start at the beginning or you are looking for the complete list of blogs you can find it here . Our challenge was to get inspiration from our favorite scrapbook company and their blog. I have quite a few favorite companies, but for the challenge I chose Jillibean Soup . They have so many fun layouts on their blog and I found this layout by Julie Bonner and thought it was great. For my layout I switched the hearts for shamrocks. I had this adorable picture of my grandson from St. Paddy's Day and I was happy to find a cute layout idea. I used my Cricut to cut the shamrocks with the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. I used a touch of adhesive on the top of each shamrock to hold it in place while I was sewing but none near the center because I didn't want the needle to be sticky. I followed the lines of the ledger paper to keep the sewing straight. The layout went

June Counterfeit Kit

I was so excited to see the inspiration kit for June at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog. Burlap and Butterflies put together the great kit in this picture. I really liked all of the pink, orange, blue and green in the original kit so I tried to stick with that. As my main paper and color reference I chose an old sheet of BG that I have had for years. I love the elephants and the colors were just right. I ended up with fifteen patterned papers. My embellishments... What can I say, I went overboard. I couldn't help it. I have all of these great Sassafras goodies from my mystery box so I needed to add some to my kit. I have a few things in here from last month, and a few things that I have had for a long time. I have some buttons, ribbon, and bling mixed in with some tab stickers, chipboard, and journal spots. I made the summer add on and I managed to only use four papers! And only a few little embellishments. See, I have a little self control... But then it ended. I tried to pic

Counterfeit Kit Blog Hop/ Bird is the Word-Wish

Welcome to this stop of the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog's October blog hop. This month our blog hop challenge was to alter stickers and use them in a different way. Here is my layout. This picture is just a silly shot of my 20 year old daughter sitting in my grandson's stroller. She asked me to push her around when we were out. I love that she is not embarrassed to act silly. I only pushed her across the parking lot, but it was a fun minute.  I didn't have stickers in my kit this month so I added the puffy heart stickers and the cardstock hearts and circles. I used the cardstock circles and backed them with patterned paper. I then tore around the circles and layered the circles to make a basic flower. I punched holes into the puffy heart and used it as a button for the center of the flower.  I use more of the hearts in the same way. I punched them and used them on buttons and threaded them with twine. I then layered them as a border under the photo. The side border is
