CKCB September Members' Blog Hop

Good Morning :) Been quite busy lately, but I wanted to stop just a moment to enjoy a few moments with the blog hop over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog :) You should have arrived from Jemma's blog and if you do get lost you can find the hopping list at the end of the post. The challenges this month are:

Challenge #1:  Single Pop of Colour on White - keep most of your project white and use one nice pop of colour 
Challenge #2:  Card Collection - make a collection of three cards using the same type of paper/embellishments
Challenge #3:  Mix a Sketch - mix the two sketches together to make a fun, one of a kind project

I chose Challenge #3, yep I'm all about sketches so when I seen the challenge about mixing a sketch I knew I had to give that a whirl. 
These were the sketches that I had to mash together for my layout (yep I'm one of those Glee fans :) So my layout came from rotating the 1st sketch a turn to the right and keeping the center of the 2nd sketch just shifting it over to the left so I can keep the same line going as in the 1st sketch. 
 I wanted to keep the main focus of the layout on this wonderful picture of our daughter Tammy watching the sunrise on Lake George. The picture is more vibrant than what is shows here and the colors of the layout is pinks and golden yellow.
I brought in from the 1st sketch the tag block for my journaling spot. I brought is some blue from the picture here in the block. I used all papers from my current kit, I used 3 project life cards (one for the journaling, one for the edge to add the title and the other was a cut out of I (heart) TODAY (this was the one thing I flipped out of the sketch to make it work) I will also be including this layout in the Scrappin N Chattin group for their polka dot challenge.
Thanks for stopping by and seeing what I am up too and I encourage you to give Counterfeit Kit Challenge a try for a month you will be amazed at how fast you can get a layout or a card done cause the thinking process is done (why pay so much for a premade kit anyways :) it's just so nice to shop from you own stash :) This layout took me only about an hour to complete.
Now off you go to see what Stephanie has create for the hop her blog is here
