WHITE with 1 January Challenge

The challenge this month at White with 1 was buttercream. There was also a mood board.
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.
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.
 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. 
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. 
Thanks for looking.

Jen your layout looks so good.
Isn't it funny, the first thing I noticed on your layout was the paper strip under the photo, it reminded me of cooked spaghetti which I thought you'd used because of the spaghetti in the mood board.
Thank you so much for joining in our White with 1 challenge this month x

June Counterfeit Kit

Image
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 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 ...

Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop-April

Hi. I am so excited to be part of the April blog hop. If you did not come here from Glinda's blog, you can start at the beginning at Counterfeit Kit Challenge . This month we were to look at the design team members blogs for inspiration. I found this cute layout that Margi did here . I loved the banner made with circle scallops. In my layout I used two rows of the scallops. This was a good way to use up some of the scraps from my counterfeit kit. The pictures are of my grandson. Since he is small for his age we were able to put him in the little bunny outfit from the Picture People. He was not willing to sit still for his pictures, but the end result was so cute. Thank you for stopping by my blog. All of my posts this month were made with my counterfeit kit. Feel free to be a follower if you would like. The next stop on the hop is Tricia. ..
