Little Man LO for a Counterfeit Kit Challenge

Good Morning and welcome to the 2nd challenge of the month over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog. Leslie has challenged us to:

For this second challenge let’s try something fun! If you’ve been using your kit this month you have already been cutting your papers. Choose 5-6 random papers & cut a few strips. Weave the strips together to create a background, accent, or element for your page!

I had fun creating my background for the layout :)  

 From my kit Country Picnic I've been creating to I took some of the scraps I had and cut them into various size strips for my weave. Added this cute photo of AJ my grandson and scattered some embellishments but not many were needed for this layout

 Close up of the background created with this technique. Thanks for stopping by and checking out what I have created today and I look forward to seeing what you create from this fun challenge.

Have A Zest For Life LO for Sketch N Scrap challenge

Good Morning and welcome :) This is the 2nd layout sketch for the month over at Sketch N Scrap. We have a fantastic sketch from Heather Hall this month to play with here

 

 This is what I did with it and I used that lemon pattern paper too from my current counterfeit kit:

I started working on another trip and this is the last photo of this particular day and Dave wanted his picture taken so thought best to have it in the album :) 
Thanks for stopping by today and seeing what I'm up too in my corner of the world. I look forward to seeing what you create from this fun sketch.
And if you would like to join the Birthday party 
We are celebrating 8 years of creativity and inspiration ALL MONTH long on the blog and also on Facebook with an online virtual crop!!

CKC - May Kit Reveal - Country Picnic

Hello May! So glad to see the burst of colors and to see the migration of the birds too. In the marvelous month of May when all the buds were bursting, then in my heart did love arise.
The beginning of the new month brings also a new kit to play with for Counterfeit Kit  Challenge blog. You should have arrived here from Tara's blog, if not there is a complete blog hop at the end of the post.
Master Forger Leslie is our host for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge month of May. We welcome our May Guest Designer, Ashley!
Leslie has chosen for our May inspiration kit a new kit club,  Club Echo Park! Not a new manufacturer, mind you, but a new club a bi-monthly kit club and it is just so pretty! The kit is built on the Echo Park/Carta Bella Oh Happy Day collection.
