Counterfeit Kit Layering Challenge

I made this layout for the Counterfeit Kit layering challenge. The pictures were taken last month in Niagara Falls. We read about Nightmares online and it was supposed to be really scary. I don't like scary things so while some of us were hanging around the hotel Fred and Alexx walked over and went to Nightmares. They said it was great and scary.

 Alexx didn't want Fred to buy the pictures because she said she looked bad in them. We stopped back the next day and they let us buy them. I think they are great. You can see the funny difference between the picture where they are scared and the picture where they are REALLY scared.

I wasn't able to get a very good picture of the two pages together. I think it is because the colors are all so dark. I used layers of green and red paper, ribbon, a black rose border, gray fabric roses, the ticket, the pieces from the Stampin' Up Halloween paper, and a tab. I added bling to some of the spider webs and a bling spider.

Thanks for looking.

Great layouts - a theme kit would be so hard for me to use, but these are awesome.

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

Welcome to the November Blog Hop. If you came here from Jemma's blog you are in the right place. If you came from anyplace else and would like to hop along with us, you can start at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog.  This month our sponsor is Scraptastic Club . Our challenge was to use our kit to make a home decor item. I used my kit (and one additional patterned paper and ribbon) to make this fun wall hanging for my grandson's playroom. I was inspired by this fall wall hanging on Pinterest. My chipboard alpha blocks are eight inch squares. I bought the whole set last week at Ross for $3.99. Thanks for looking. The next stop on the hop is Julie Ann , I am sure she has something beautiful to show you. If you get lost along the way the hop list is below.
