So Happy LO for Counterfeit Kit Challenge

Good Morning, wow we're already half was through March! Yes Spring is almost here and you can feel it in the air :) Welcome to the 2nd challenge over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog and our month's host is Tara and she has challenged us:

What Makes You Happy

For this challenge, I am taking the cue from one of the papers that says Happy Happy Happy. I want you to create a layout about something or someone that makes you happy!!

So for this challenge I decided to use the wordy paper that I had in my Spring Days kit for my main background and built up from there. This man of mine makes me happy and so does our fondness of Minneapolis Moline tractors makes us very happy as it's a hobby we both enjoy together.

Using a sketch because it makes me happy, I've been doing a 100 day cutfile challenge so had to include a cutfile to the layout and with it being Calvinball month I had to add a few things to get me some points for the day too :) and with the diamonds cutfile that was perfect way to show what my diamond is on the layout :) Had fun playing around with alot of words from my kit too for this layout :)

Thank you for stopping by today and seeing what I'm up to in my little corner of the world. I hope you join us over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog for this fun challenge.

The weather starts to get warmer and more time is spent outside :) So let's check out the inspiration for the month.

Welcome Anna to Counterfeit Kit Challenge!

This is the kit I pulled together

Spring Days

My papers came from mostly Pink Fresh Studios with Simple Stories I am collection for the 6X8 paper pad. I was drawn to the yellows in the inspiration kit. With it being Calvinball this month I made sure to have lots of embellishments to choose from too.

Papers are a fun variety that is saying bring on Spring!

The alphas, bring in the gold that the kit had in theirs plus a fun gold word stickers too with a side of blue.
