Extraordinary LO for Counterfeit Kit challenge

  Good morning and welcome :) Here's the 1st challenge of the month over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog. Leslie is our host this month and her challenge is:

 With a fun way to get creative with your photos! Scrap a group photo & find an innovative way to point out a significant person. Make your story about them - it could even by YOU!

Some techniques might be using sandpaper to blur everyone else, a vellum overlay with an oval cutout that reveals that person, paint/markers to draw attention by outlining or drawing something attention-getting, dress the person in clothing cut out of patterned paper, add a hat (sticker?), frame them, or give them a sign to hold. 

I chose to use an arrow to point out our grandson. Found this picture of Brandon during his college days. Used a cut file with minimal embellishments from my current kit Goovy Cool. Used some embellishments that referred to school and the glass dish reminds me of a cake dish.

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.
 

CKC - July 2023 Kit Reveal - Groovy Cool!

Welcome to my blog and happy July, let the Summer begin! We're to see 90s come in after the 4th of July. I'm just glad to have a few days off from work and play with my kit :) It's the 1st of the month and that means a new inspiration kit over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog, you should have arrived here from Tara's blog I'm looking forward to checking out her kit and see what inspired her.

Master Forger of Ceremonies Leslie here, your Counterfeit Kit Challenge host for the month of July. 

Welcome to our Guest Designer this month - a familiar face in our community! Dawn is a wonderfully prolific creative & an active member of the CKC family DawnLyn Litz:

 I love the CKC community because they are friendly and supportive of goals. I came to the group at the end of January and loved the idea of making a kit that I jumped into kit making in February. Last month I created 33 layouts with my kit.

Leslie chose for our inspiration kit because it is a BRAND NEW KIT CLUB! Mercy Tiara is likely a familiar name to scrapbookers & May was her first kit offer. It is a bright, playful & funky kit thanks to a focus on Jen Hadfield's Flower Child collection. Vicki Boutin's Where To Next?, Maggie Holmes' Woodland Grove, and Pink Fresh Studio's Spring Vibes all play supporting roles.

Premiering Mercy Tiara Kits with the Feeling Groovy Kit!

 

 

 

Here is my kit for July:

Groovy Cool!

Here are my choice of papers:

I was drawn to alot of Pinkfresh Studio, Cocoa Vanilla coming in with a few things that I didn't have but looked similiar. Lot of fun papers I purchased early in my scrapbooking. I've got a goal to do some travel layouts this month too so brought in some travel papers.

Add on kits:

I was drawn into the colors of the Simple Stories to match with the other papers and the cassette tape stamp drew me in to add this collection to the mix.

Here's the cutfiles I chose, just a few and thought these would work for me for my plans this month of scrapping

Here are the close ups:

I could not find any cassette paper (if I coe across some while unpacking this weekend I'll add it to the kit) But I knew I had some from some old October Afternoon doo-dads packs.

Diecuts, Frames, Stickers, Chipboard all the things needed to create some fun layouts

Puffies! Lot of those in the kit

Enamels in more forms than just dots to sprinkle about the layouts

And my alphas, I found just the one alpha that had gold foil so brought that into the kit with some cork, woodgrain, acetate, coppery glitter and some with color. 

Thanks for stopping by today and seeing what I'm up to in my little corner of the world. Your next stop on the blog hop is Laura, if you need to see any of the others the list is below

Having So Much Fun Today LO for an Extra CKC challenge

Good morning and welcome :) We have an extra challenge this month over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog.

Master Forger Tara has a challenge today for her birthday!! She says:  I wanted to give you an extra challenge this month.  I would love it if you would celebrate with me by completing this challenge!!!

 Color Challenge

Create a layout using a selfie and your favorite color combo today.  Master Forger Tara’s favorite color combo for scrapbooking is orange and blue.  What is yours?  Use it on your layout with a picture of yourself!! We aren't always good at making sure that we have our own stories in our scrapbooks, let's change that today and create a story about you!

 My favorite color is Purple, but I rarely use is when I scrapbook. My favorite color combo for scrapping seems to be blue and green. Scrapping a recent roadtrip this is one of many layouts that will come from this day and yes I took a few selfies too
 

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.

I chose this layout on her board:

It's pretty cool and it was fun inspiration for my layout:

Using my Boldly Beautiful kit I made a Currently list of the moment. Inspired by the layers, the scattered words and the stars. I had fun creating this layout with the scattered word phrases too. A picture from the Spring :) it was a beautiful day out.

Oh, Hello LO for Sketch N Scrap challenge

 Good Morning and welcome. Here we are in the middle of June, it's been a rainy week which we very much needed. The temperatures have been in the 70's to 80's so great Spring weather .

We got a fun challenge over at Sketch N Scrap for the day. This sketch was created by Lori 

Lots of layers on this one :) Here is what I created with it

My Guilty Pleasure is stopping a Crumbl and picking up cookies I don't do it often but the line up that week I couldn't resist :) Using my Boldy Beautiful CKC kit for this layout I wanted to stay with the pinks for the Crumbl colors and brought in the gold too so I was glad to use that chevron paper.

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I created and can't wait to see what you create from this cool sketch over at Sketch N Scrap blog.
