This month I am making a kit. <a href="http://counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog</a> is using this kit as it's inspiration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VW5TBsnDwbo/XFYETa3V6TI/AAAAAAAAfKA/Iw8JD4DWIIcCUw7muk6sv6vegTOV_WaiACEwYBhgL/s1600/Anthologie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="291" data-original-width="400" height="232" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VW5TBsnDwbo/XFYETa3V6TI/AAAAAAAAfKA/Iw8JD4DWIIcCUw7muk6sv6vegTOV_WaiACEwYBhgL/s320/Anthologie.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The browns and greens are a little too specific for me, so I decided to start with some butterfly papers since butterflies are very visible in this line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zSZLHFZCebA/XFYEyLvqJXI/AAAAAAAAfKI/n2I8-WVwSgEspsD9_MAI8xQLQ5yhOJBVACKgBGAs/s1600/20190202_135925.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zSZLHFZCebA/XFYEyLvqJXI/AAAAAAAAfKI/n2I8-WVwSgEspsD9_MAI8xQLQ5yhOJBVACKgBGAs/s320/20190202_135925.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These bright colored butterfly papers are more my style, but I added some kraft, brown, and green to go with the original kit's feel.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rxspThI0IKM/XFYEyN-_kcI/AAAAAAAAfKI/JmKUqnbM43YbtQQqz77Rgatus1lwvreZACKgBGAs/s1600/20190202_140122.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rxspThI0IKM/XFYEyN-_kcI/AAAAAAAAfKI/JmKUqnbM43YbtQQqz77Rgatus1lwvreZACKgBGAs/s320/20190202_140122.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But then I added lots of fun prints and colors to make the kit more my style. I added a lot because I have been scrapbooking a lot lately. And the Bash Your Scrapbook Stash fb group is having a month long event, so I will probably be doing more than normal.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lcNJDfC0ERo/XFYEyJ9d9mI/AAAAAAAAfKI/cE6EMDGLcz8aZulgFmPrvvdpByZTcGqaACKgBGAs/s1600/20190202_155032.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="772" data-original-width="1600" height="154" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lcNJDfC0ERo/XFYEyJ9d9mI/AAAAAAAAfKI/cE6EMDGLcz8aZulgFmPrvvdpByZTcGqaACKgBGAs/s320/20190202_155032.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xF2y4ugtMi0/XFYEyD_WjmI/AAAAAAAAfKI/V-EkA7STAyQXid2M1notAMZdnbKo8Zt1ACKgBGAs/s1600/20190202_154948.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a>Lots of embellishments. Border strips, stickers, lots of old things that have been sitting around. I added some words, cork, burlap, chipboard, metal, frames, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ILQcbnsSwyI/XFYF0h5A3pI/AAAAAAAAfKY/K36OjrNhwKkPu24R20OoP-ChEgy94hHXwCKgBGAs/s1600/20190202_154948.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="803" data-original-width="1600" height="160" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ILQcbnsSwyI/XFYF0h5A3pI/AAAAAAAAfKY/K36OjrNhwKkPu24R20OoP-ChEgy94hHXwCKgBGAs/s320/20190202_154948.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then I decided to add a burlap paper, a gold print vellum, and a white print vellum.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_gTuMSfjV9g/XFYF0l7CeKI/AAAAAAAAfKY/tmcI2Wjw6nQrrCUY2S_o2SEprrmS1znIACKgBGAs/s1600/20190202_123551.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_gTuMSfjV9g/XFYF0l7CeKI/AAAAAAAAfKY/tmcI2Wjw6nQrrCUY2S_o2SEprrmS1znIACKgBGAs/s320/20190202_123551.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't add any alphabets, so I will have to choose them as I go. This kit was fun to put together, and most of the things aren't things that I love, but as I was putting them together I really liked what I was collecting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll post my finished layouts at the end of the month. Thanks for looking.</div>

The challenge this month at White with 1 was buttercream. There was also a mood board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H8mRFJ4qeeM/XFHxLmFGYZI/AAAAAAAAfGI/7fyfhRsikyE6F_zLGT7hpU8Q5ahqCRrMQCLcBGAs/s1600/White%2Bw%2B1%2Bjan%2Bmoodboard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H8mRFJ4qeeM/XFHxLmFGYZI/AAAAAAAAfGI/7fyfhRsikyE6F_zLGT7hpU8Q5ahqCRrMQCLcBGAs/s1600/White%2Bw%2B1%2Bjan%2Bmoodboard.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't have a lot of buttercream supplies. The alphabet I found was vanilla which looked pretty close to me, so I based my colors on that. Here is my layout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eE3bXTMu7C4/XFHxiKi-2gI/AAAAAAAAfGQ/vGxaldrAb2gaWcLN9Zxv9i9ssED9dnq-ACKgBGAs/s1600/20190130_130930.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eE3bXTMu7C4/XFHxiKi-2gI/AAAAAAAAfGQ/vGxaldrAb2gaWcLN9Zxv9i9ssED9dnq-ACKgBGAs/s400/20190130_130930.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had these cute pictures from my grandson's birthday that had very little color, so they went really well with the buttercream, as did the cake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a doily inspired by the fluffy flower and used a stencil for the dots in the background that brought in the circles from the cookies. For the buttercream color I mixed yellow and white paint with gold texture paste. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My neutral is navy and just now I realize part of my balloon came off and I need to fix that. The banners were made with a punch and I just layered them up for a little bit of extra dimension. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for looking.</div>

I decided to join in on the Scrap the Boys challenge this month. I haven't played with them before, but with two grandsons I have plenty of boy pictures. This month they are having a Summer challenge and I love bright Summer pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-17WrJ9g_XPo/XEtfJwojaOI/AAAAAAAAe-w/CZ75p_vYXO8B6fL494pOkNeEcNrujniXQCLcBGAs/s1600/Scrap%2Bthe%2BBoys%2BJanuary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="308" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-17WrJ9g_XPo/XEtfJwojaOI/AAAAAAAAe-w/CZ75p_vYXO8B6fL494pOkNeEcNrujniXQCLcBGAs/s320/Scrap%2Bthe%2BBoys%2BJanuary.jpg" width="281" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a cute picture of Ben on his Slip and Slide that really shows the fun of Summer so I came up with this layout. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pm0SWMUlgyw/XEtgMq--3KI/AAAAAAAAe_Q/gHgdDgxemeYoizyhH1HxFi44mMsGQmhAgCKgBGAs/s1600/20190125_130917.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pm0SWMUlgyw/XEtgMq--3KI/AAAAAAAAe_Q/gHgdDgxemeYoizyhH1HxFi44mMsGQmhAgCKgBGAs/s320/20190125_130917.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was happy to use some old papers and embellishments because I am trying to mix old and new. Honestly there isn't anything new in this layout, but it's ok. Using up is using up.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V-kHkrtUIHE/XEtgMoqHtTI/AAAAAAAAe_Q/ZH2mRNOqL6QbTeFqbih9mxSTY_8TOspLQCKgBGAs/s1600/20190125_131011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V-kHkrtUIHE/XEtgMoqHtTI/AAAAAAAAe_Q/ZH2mRNOqL6QbTeFqbih9mxSTY_8TOspLQCKgBGAs/s320/20190125_131011.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added the water splashes because the background looked a little plain. I struggle with solid backgrounds which is why I normally use patterned papers.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4gIub_OpvXk/XEtgMqZfvTI/AAAAAAAAe_Q/uU-6-fUeLmwSTmsmbydL41YXAW9CFrm4QCKgBGAs/s1600/20190125_131143.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4gIub_OpvXk/XEtgMqZfvTI/AAAAAAAAe_Q/uU-6-fUeLmwSTmsmbydL41YXAW9CFrm4QCKgBGAs/s320/20190125_131143.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used this flower stencil because the petals looked like water drops to me. The gel medium dries glossy and clear so it really looks like water on the page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I saw this month's challenge at <a href="http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Scrap the Girls</a> and loved it. I haven't played along with them before, but the third picture on the top row reminded me of an Easter picture of my girls back when they were little and let me dress them up.</div>

Hi. Thanks for visiting.<br />
I decided to try posting my layouts here again., I have only been posting in FB groups.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month I decided to join in with the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog and make a kit from my stash. Their inspiration kit was the October 2018 Citrus Twist kit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ThHzClDm6QY/W84MNzH5LgI/AAAAAAAAbU4/-7gkF5EQqDUcg5H1IvlpKvIeFu6LfqwQACEwYBhgL/s1600/CTKOct_Main_-_1_1344x.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #33aaff; font-family: &quot; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-left: 13.2px; margin-right: 13.2px; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="896" data-original-width="1344" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ThHzClDm6QY/W84MNzH5LgI/AAAAAAAAbU4/-7gkF5EQqDUcg5H1IvlpKvIeFu6LfqwQACEwYBhgL/s400/CTKOct_Main_-_1_1344x.jpg" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-color: white; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto; border-bottom-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-image-outset: 0; border-image-repeat: stretch; border-image-slice: 100%; border-image-source: none; border-image-width: 1; border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose a paper to represent each side of the papers that came with the kit., except for the black word paper and the woodgrain paper. I chose some black and white patterned scraps and some woodgrain scraps to use in place of the full sheets.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xi0Qysi0Omw/W-TRcP_ZukI/AAAAAAAAdoU/69ljnied5awuPd8DJEovCSZFaKckQ3EKwCLcBGAs/s1600/20181108_155606.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xi0Qysi0Omw/W-TRcP_ZukI/AAAAAAAAdoU/69ljnied5awuPd8DJEovCSZFaKckQ3EKwCLcBGAs/s400/20181108_155606.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose die cuts, large words, some puffy stickers and wood veneer because those were all include in the inspiration kit. There is plenty here to keep me busy for lots of layouts.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zliybCD1XVM/W-TR5JPYYbI/AAAAAAAAdoc/ToBMwHtixpYv877uIVFKCtuyF6t6aJscACLcBGAs/s1600/20181108_164329.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zliybCD1XVM/W-TR5JPYYbI/AAAAAAAAdoc/ToBMwHtixpYv877uIVFKCtuyF6t6aJscACLcBGAs/s400/20181108_164329.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead of choosing one alphabet, I chose eight well used alphabets in hopes that I can get them used up a little more. That's the great thing about making my own kit. I can do it my way. I hate that kit clubs only give you one alphabet. I like variety. I also included some floss so that I can stitch on layouts or try to make those cute thread bows.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am so excited to share what I got done with the March Studio Calico Kit. I decided in January that I will try to use some old supplies along with my kits. I didn't manage to use old supplies on every layout but I did work some really old stuff in there.</div>

Prom 2009. I didn't add anything old to this layout. The Heidi Swapp words were on clearance at M's.</div>

I love the handmade wood veneer that came in the kit. It was perfect for the layout of my husband with his treasure box that he designed and had made. That box has to weigh at least thirty pounds. Haha</div>

Thank you for looking. There are still some papers left from my kit so I hope to make a few more layouts before my new kit arrives on Tuesday.</div>

This is not my first year trying to do a December Daily. I have decided that this year I will finish my DD no matter what. I have divided page protectors and I pre-cut a lot of papers to the sizes I will need so it should be a fairly easy process.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are the fun supplies I pulled. I am using a lot of wood, gold, and confetti along with the regular cards and sticker embellishments.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The album I am using is an 8x8 divided page album from Stampin' Up. The green and white cover is perfect for Christmas. I think I am going to add the year in that wood frame in the above picture and glue it to the front of the album with some flowers that are in my stash.</div>

I am glad to be back to posting and scrapbooking. I haven't been on here in over a year to post anything. I have signed up for the Studio Calico scrapbook kit and have really been getting a lot of scrapbooking done with the kits. Here are a few pages I did in the last few months. </div>

^^This was Universal Studios. We have been to WDW six of the last eight years, but this was our first trip to Universal. I found it to be quite a bit like Hollywood Studios. I loved this little storefront that was shaped like a camera. </div>

One night while we were camping we went to an ice cream parlor. While we were there we saw these lights from a plane in the sky. Ben was staring into the sky and he would not believe us when we told him it was not a space ship. I think he has seen the Martian Mickey episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse too many times.</div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">We are spending the day getting ready for Sandy. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">This is supposed to be a bad storm for a lot of people and right now they are predicting a mess in South Jersey. So far we are not planning to evacuate. Currently the mandatory evacuation line has been drawn one block from our house. I imagine this could change at any point and we do have a place to go if needed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">We have food and water. Our neighbors have a generator so we can recharge in case the power is out for an extended time. We have games and toys aplenty. If the power stays on I may be able to get some scrapbooking done. That would be a nice change.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Cassie has to work. The hospital will of course remain open and the patients will want to eat. So hopefully if the weather is too bad they will have a bed to offer her and she can sleep without coming home. Last time we had a bad storm there were a lot of people sleeping at the hospital and working extra shifts to make up for the people who could not make it into work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I am glad to see that September has brought some cooler temperatures. It was a very hot and yucky Summer here. Between the weather and some family issues I haven't been enjoying much crafting time. I did make a few scrapbook layouts and I joined a quilt along that was one block a week, but other than that I haven't done anything crafty.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here is the quilt I have been working on. I have the last block made and now I just have to work on the borders. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CipTk7QTvWo/UEkUFa7BM1I/AAAAAAAAAjU/imtaVQoAsug/s1600/DSCN0147.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CipTk7QTvWo/UEkUFa7BM1I/AAAAAAAAAjU/imtaVQoAsug/s400/DSCN0147.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And because I have to wait for the border fabric to arrive I decided to start a new project. </div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YXa_RE22rQI/UEkUKSOl55I/AAAAAAAAAjc/dO3HT0uFmHg/s1600/DSCN0151.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YXa_RE22rQI/UEkUKSOl55I/AAAAAAAAAjc/dO3HT0uFmHg/s400/DSCN0151.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
These fabrics have been hanging around for years. They have spools of thread, scissors, dress forms, and buttons in shades of blue and pink (think early 90's).</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I am going to make a quilt for my Nanny. She is going to be 80 this year and she loves to sew. I am sure the quilt will be well loved. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
It feels good to be working on some projects again. The cooler days are cheering me up. Cassie decided that she wants to learn to sew so we set up Alex's room as a sewing room. If Alex decides to visit we can quickly move furniture around and make it back into a bedroom. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
If I can make myself get my scrapbook desk cleaned off I will be able to join in some of the challenges over at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog. I am no longer on their design team, but I still love their concept, challenges and inspiration kits. </div>

Thanks for stopping. Hopefully I will have some new things to show soon. ~Jen</div>

Our second challenge this month at the <a href="http://www.counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog</a> is to make a layout and then a card inspired by our layout. Our kit this month was all primary colors that would normally lead to a childrens layout for me. For some reason I was drawn to these pictures of Cassie the morning we went to the hospital for her to have Ben. Her shirt was black and pink so it really didn't match my kit at all. When I looked through my kit I found that the blue flowered paper had small pink dots in the centers of some of the flowers. I originally chose this paper for my kit because some of the centers are red.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-srCr_yKNd4s/UDGSmyJRvzI/AAAAAAAAAi4/rQri7_PXIaM/s1600/DSCN0143.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="397" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-srCr_yKNd4s/UDGSmyJRvzI/AAAAAAAAAi4/rQri7_PXIaM/s400/DSCN0143.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am going to add a little story about her delivery on the white tag. I am so happy that I added the chipboard letters to my kit. I never use chipboard letters anymore even though I have dozens of sets here. I am going to make more effort to use them.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dT7t4FjQNzE/UDGSovaPlaI/AAAAAAAAAjA/HMXtd2RMWHk/s1600/DSCN0145.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dT7t4FjQNzE/UDGSovaPlaI/AAAAAAAAAjA/HMXtd2RMWHk/s320/DSCN0145.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
My card is simple. I used a popsicle stick because I had them out from making the layout. The pink frame matches the brackets, tag and paisley from the layout. The butterflies were used to replace the blue of my paper and alphas. And the pink and black papers were the scraps from my layout. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I love the idea of making cards with layout extras. I imagine it would cut down on the leftover embellishments and scraps of paper that tend to pile up.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Thanks for looking.</div>

Welcome to my stop on the Hop. </div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This month at the CKC blog we are counterfeiting a digi-kit. <a href="http://scraporchard.com/market/Summer-Lovin_Digital-Scrapbook-Kit.html" target="_blank">Here</a> is the link to the original kit. I like the primary colors of the kit and the summery feel of the embellishments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0_sFJD5CdXg/UB9LPgYRYvI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/da_FueIdyuk/s1600/DSCN0094.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0_sFJD5CdXg/UB9LPgYRYvI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/da_FueIdyuk/s320/DSCN0094.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with the same colors but switched up the patterns. Some of these papers have been in my stash for about 10 years!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--4Bozd8bs3w/UB9LRkikpqI/AAAAAAAAAiY/zy90BUihWAo/s1600/DSCN0095.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--4Bozd8bs3w/UB9LRkikpqI/AAAAAAAAAiY/zy90BUihWAo/s320/DSCN0095.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a lot of primary colored embellishments. I am sure I won't use many, but these are the ones that jumped out at me.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I9FSzseeHxM/UB9LULEt67I/AAAAAAAAAig/4HQ2nP2LLXU/s1600/DSCN0097.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I9FSzseeHxM/UB9LULEt67I/AAAAAAAAAig/4HQ2nP2LLXU/s320/DSCN0097.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added four sets of alphas and I found these two sets of chipboard pieces that each had a few pieces that looked good with my papers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This month at the <a href="http://www.counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Counterfeit Kit Challenge</a> blog our first challenge is to make a travel inspired layout.</div>
<div align="center">
I decided to do a layout about my favorite vacation place. Disney. We haven't been there in two years and I am hoping that we will be able to go back later this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ddKCXRpKXKc/T9gD5gG--vI/AAAAAAAAAhs/JvTD3EW-YWA/s1600/DSC03488.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ddKCXRpKXKc/T9gD5gG--vI/AAAAAAAAAhs/JvTD3EW-YWA/s400/DSC03488.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my kit I had a pack of fairy tale die cuts from Stampin' Up. They have been in my stash for years so this was a perfect chance to use them. The aqua colors in the die cut pieces were great with the colors of the castle. I used a blue cardstock to match the sky. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ci18qDBuCsY/T9gD_wuYsAI/AAAAAAAAAh0/H4hInGjDQCs/s1600/DSC03489.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ci18qDBuCsY/T9gD_wuYsAI/AAAAAAAAAh0/H4hInGjDQCs/s320/DSC03489.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Magical Memories ribbon and some Elle's Studio tags to include the date, place and people. Since all of the Disney layouts go into albums by visit I don't really need to add too much information. The whole album ends up telling the story without a lot of repetition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This layout was made in minutes. It isn't fancy, but it is a good feeling to use an old supply and have a layout finished. I think I will be able to get a decent number of layouts done this month. I was looking through my kit and matching up my papers with photos so I will be ready to scrap when I find time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
June is Build-Your-Own-Kit month at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You should have arrived here from Jemma's blog. If you did not and would like to start at the beginning you can go <a href="http://www.counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I first saw that we were making our own kits I was a little worried. I like having an example kit. I like knowing what colors and patterns to start with. I like direction. Then I started looking through my stash and found some things that have never fit well into any kit. I decided that building my own kit was a great idea. Here is what I came up with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eYtzcf8oRCQ/T87LhKG4OUI/AAAAAAAAAg8/3bk4XEzuoYI/s1600/DSC03467.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eYtzcf8oRCQ/T87LhKG4OUI/AAAAAAAAAg8/3bk4XEzuoYI/s400/DSC03467.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10 patterned papers and four journal spots. My main colors are purple and green. I also have black, aqua, pink and white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-c3OK1crqlfw/T87LlI1WM0I/AAAAAAAAAhE/xddG5J4TJRU/s1600/DSC03468.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-c3OK1crqlfw/T87LlI1WM0I/AAAAAAAAAhE/xddG5J4TJRU/s400/DSC03468.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eight cardstock and two alphabets. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hk1AUAHj-js/T87Log5g6vI/AAAAAAAAAhM/T45-YfO87D0/s1600/DSC03469.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hk1AUAHj-js/T87Log5g6vI/AAAAAAAAAhM/T45-YfO87D0/s400/DSC03469.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Three types of misc. embellishments: I chose ribbon, die cuts and little tags. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j8rW98Xx4Bg/T87LsFrbgTI/AAAAAAAAAhU/A_5GYOf9Nlo/s1600/DSC03470.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j8rW98Xx4Bg/T87LsFrbgTI/AAAAAAAAAhU/A_5GYOf9Nlo/s400/DSC03470.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Something messy:stickles/perfect pearls. Something old: brads. And a roll of old MM tape in place of the Washi.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ClFu9H7omhg/T87LwUd3I6I/AAAAAAAAAhg/ku6tWdtb8RQ/s1600/DSC03471.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ClFu9H7omhg/T87LwUd3I6I/AAAAAAAAAhg/ku6tWdtb8RQ/s400/DSC03471.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two stamp sets and one surprise item: I can't find the second stamp set that I wanted to use so here is one stamp set and my surprise item. The colors don't really match well, but I loved this when I bought it and never ended up using it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next stop on our blog hop is <a href="http://julieannshahin2.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Julie Ann</a>. I am sure you will love her kit. </div>

Our challenge at the <a href="http://www.counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog</a> was to use fabric on our layout. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ocLe3kw9dYo/T7nJse3B6UI/AAAAAAAAAgw/6atg0YlQ688/s1600/DSC03426.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ocLe3kw9dYo/T7nJse3B6UI/AAAAAAAAAgw/6atg0YlQ688/s400/DSC03426.JPG" width="398" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My daughter Cassie and I are currently decorating a new room for her son Ben. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is going to have a robot theme. The fabric tag and square were made with the fabrics that will be his blanket and valance. The little striped scrap is going to be the print for his curtains.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can't really tell from the picture but his room is a bright lime green. I call it alien-slime green. When Cassie asked Ben what color he wanted his big-boy room to be he said orange green. There wasn't much chance of painting his room orange, so green it was. We took our fabrics and went off to Home Depot to pick a paint color. When we started painting Ben wanted to help. He only did a little bit but it was nice for him to feel like he was helping.</div>Jen Crohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08455891751557400510noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355282696500251001.post-48398193711978116122012-05-21T00:42:00.000-04:002012-05-21T00:45:54.888-04:00NSD- Winner<div style="text-align: center;">

This month at the <a href="http://www.counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog</a> we are counterfeiting <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/city-of-lights" target="_blank">this kit</a> from Studio Calico. It was their April kit and sold out quickly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not have any of the original papers from their kit. I tried to match as closely as I could either the color and pattern size or the pattern in a different color. Here are my papers from their main kit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WkEbESAeNU4/T6X7AahTIjI/AAAAAAAAAgU/yvsKhnTi7Do/s1600/IMG_0083.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WkEbESAeNU4/T6X7AahTIjI/AAAAAAAAAgU/yvsKhnTi7Do/s400/IMG_0083.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also added a few alphabets.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then I decided to make a paper add on since I liked their paper add on kit so much.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love my kit! I decided that since my NSD challenge was to use stickers and die cuts that I am going to try to use some of my stickers and die cuts this month. I have a huge stash and I didn't choose them ahead of time because I want to try to use a lot of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your next stop on our HOP is <a href="http://julieannshahin2.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Julie Ann</a>. I am sure you will be inspired by her kit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will try to get better pictures tomorrow. This camera is not the best in artificial lighting.</div>

<strong><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Happy National Scrapbook Day!</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: black;">Welcome to my stop on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop. If you arrived here from Jemma's blog you are in the right spot. If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop please go <a href="http://www.counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>I have been scrapbooking for about 16 years and over that time have collected many supplies. I remember the days of stickers and die cuts well. They were the only supplies available at my local scrapbook store. I still buy stickers and I have a lot of Cricut cartridges that rarely get used.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: purple;">My Challenge for You</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: black;">I would like you link me to your layout using stickers or die cuts. It doesn't matter if it is a layout made today or a layout made in the past. Just inspire me with your use of these oldies but goodies.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Here are some of my sticker and die cut layouts.</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fcijwjyOkR0/T6SCk8kA8ZI/AAAAAAAAAfg/3RgNUQjq4Ro/s1600/IMG_0077.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fcijwjyOkR0/T6SCk8kA8ZI/AAAAAAAAAfg/3RgNUQjq4Ro/s400/IMG_0077.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This layout has layered paper stickers and epoxy stickers. I didn't need to do much because the paper was printed with the little boxes and words. I just added a paper, ribbon and stickers.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O8m6S5bkGQA/T6SCmSQjsjI/AAAAAAAAAfo/H6L3dSHZxMw/s1600/IMG_0078.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="393" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O8m6S5bkGQA/T6SCmSQjsjI/AAAAAAAAAfo/H6L3dSHZxMw/s400/IMG_0078.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Coca-Cola stickers are clear stickers, the bottle cap has an epoxy sticker on it, and I added a Thickers title.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NTPx0Kyfxxc/T6SCnnkudAI/AAAAAAAAAfw/gA6SdKXBnKc/s1600/IMG_0079.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NTPx0Kyfxxc/T6SCnnkudAI/AAAAAAAAAfw/gA6SdKXBnKc/s400/IMG_0079.JPG" width="397" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love these pictures of a rainy day at Disney. I added two very old metal faces with words. The rain and boy with umbrella are Cricut cuts. The title is Thickers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ab6cIg8AaQo/T6SCo-79ivI/AAAAAAAAAf4/VBDqMVqOmPM/s1600/IMG_0080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ab6cIg8AaQo/T6SCo-79ivI/AAAAAAAAAf4/VBDqMVqOmPM/s400/IMG_0080.JPG" width="398" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The title is large letter sticker (I think BG) and the little bees are dimensional stickers. I always loved that huge floral print paper but it never really "went" with anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-unHIj-VpOhw/T6SCqLCDcOI/AAAAAAAAAgA/ssl4jx7XNKI/s1600/IMG_0081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-unHIj-VpOhw/T6SCqLCDcOI/AAAAAAAAAgA/ssl4jx7XNKI/s400/IMG_0081.JPG" width="397" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this layout I used epoxy stickers that I have had in my stash for a few years. The title is made with Thickers. I was running out of letters so the Ls are actually Js. You can't really tell and I think it looks cute.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yKg9c7xFSus/T6SCrd-9JNI/AAAAAAAAAgI/G17umhEI6F8/s1600/IMG_0082.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="324" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yKg9c7xFSus/T6SCrd-9JNI/AAAAAAAAAgI/G17umhEI6F8/s640/IMG_0082.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This layout was made with a Cricut cartridge. I love the fossil die cuts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you would like to leave a layout in the comments I will be happy to look at it. One reader who leaves a comment with a link to their layout will win a prize pack from me. I will choose the winner on Tuesday so you can leave a comment with a link any time until midnight on Monday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Washi tape was our challenge at the <a href="http://www.counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used SMASH tape. I had these pictures from last Thanksgiving when my grandson was wearing my nephews hat, hoodie and car keys.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a pre printed paper from Sassafras. Since the paper had a vintage feel and my pictures are for a toddler layout I added a few strips of more juvenile patterned paper. One plaid strip for color and the giraffe because Ben will have to be pretty tall before these things will fit him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't sure that I liked this paper too much to start with, but I love the end product. Thanks for looking.</div>Jen Crohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08455891751557400510noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355282696500251001.post-45738592374186458912012-04-22T11:02:00.002-04:002012-04-22T11:02:42.040-04:00Mini Photo ChallengeThe CKC blog has challenged us to use mini prints on our project. I have a ton of mini prints from Cassie's Senior photo proof sheets. They took over 40 pictures. I made this layout with the casual shots.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish that I had placed the title and photos a little higher on the layout so there wasn't so much open space at the top, but I am happy overall with the way it turned out. Very simple and quick layout and a great way to show all of the pictures.</div>Jen Crohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08455891751557400510noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355282696500251001.post-73216922921811686062012-04-06T00:10:00.001-04:002012-04-06T14:14:52.161-04:00April Counterfeit Kit<div style="text-align: center;">Welcome to my stop on the April Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from Jemma's blog. If you would like to start at the beginning you can follow the blog link.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This month at the <span id="goog_348557679"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/">Counterfeit Kit Challenge</a> <span id="goog_348557680"></span>blog we are counterfeiting <a href="http://kitsdesomni.typepad.com/kits_de_somni/kit-del-mes.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> great kit. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kDPBPubpIC8/T38xfW0nIMI/AAAAAAAAAe0/RRSpov2RVM0/s1600/IMG_0044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kDPBPubpIC8/T38xfW0nIMI/AAAAAAAAAe0/RRSpov2RVM0/s400/IMG_0044.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> Most of the papers that I chose have a kid feel to them this month. I have some stars, plaid, dots and a few other fun prints. I didn't stick to the brown, pink, yellow and aqua of the original kit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CMBdqeWtJ_M/T38xh_XHnhI/AAAAAAAAAe8/7l4avvKOTAA/s1600/IMG_0045.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CMBdqeWtJ_M/T38xh_XHnhI/AAAAAAAAAe8/7l4avvKOTAA/s400/IMG_0045.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There were a lot of stickers, borders and labels in the kit so I made sure to add them to my kit. I had the alpha kit that matched the one in the original kit so I threw that in also. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xR5ZkzG9paM/T38xkBJadYI/AAAAAAAAAfE/UvzgweqokzA/s1600/IMG_0046.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xR5ZkzG9paM/T38xkBJadYI/AAAAAAAAAfE/UvzgweqokzA/s400/IMG_0046.JPG" width="300" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Last month I won a grab bag from Elle's Studio that was filled with great tags, journal spots, labels and other great things so I added those to my kit.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope you decide to join us and make a counterfeit kit with your supplies. The next stop on our hop is <a href="http://julieannshahin2.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Julie Ann</a>. I am sure her kit will inspire you. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

The colors, the shape, a photo or any way you can think of to include a rainbow. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0J40Ir_TpC4/T3Jo6UpBmaI/AAAAAAAAAeU/6Qk3SoLqpQI/s1600/IMG_0002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0J40Ir_TpC4/T3Jo6UpBmaI/AAAAAAAAAeU/6Qk3SoLqpQI/s400/IMG_0002.JPG" width="396" /></a></div>I used a photo from Sesame Place. We were there for a Very Furry Christmas. I got this picture of Cassie and Ben in front of the painting of the Sesame Street buildings. <br />
<br />
My papers came from my Counterfeit kit. The back paper is BG. I shapes of the blue in the pattern reminded me of clouds. My rainbow border and the little piece of rainbow and sun paper are from Sassafras. I think they are Nerdy Birdy. <br />
<br />
Around the yellow paper I wrote Snowy Days...Snowy Days... around the border. I thought it was a fun alternative to the Sunny Days Sesame Street song.<br />
<br />
I am leaving tomorrow for a three day crop that starts Friday. I am hoping to come home with 24-30 pages scrapped. My bag is packed and my pictures are printed. I am putting the last of my page kits together tomorrow and I can't wait to get started.Jen Crohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08455891751557400510noreply@blogger.com1
