Joy of Spring for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge March Blog Hop

Hi you all and Good Morning :) Another cool Blog Hop with Counterfeit Kit Challenge, would be great to see you all play along too. You should have come to my blog from the creative Susanne's blog :) So excited to go and see what cool project Susanne has done, but I'm excited to go and see what all the members have done. So if you are just now joining the hop you may want to go to Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog to start at the beginning of the hop.  This month we could either do the challenges or we were able to show anything we wanted that was created with our kit that we have not shared yet on our blog. As a reminder, here are the three challenges this month:

Challenge #1: May you live in Pinteresting times
Challenge #2: Media Studies
Challenge #3: Insta Inspiration

I chose to do Challenge #3 Insta Inspiration I chose to make a layout with photos in a square format like an insta :) Love these flowers when they bloom in the backyard with that pop of purple. I chose to do a monochromatic layout and lets those purple blooms shine.
This layout was done with the sketch from Let's Get Sketchy : Week 3 sketch
 
I did this sketch as soon as I seen it was a good one to use for a monochromatic layout :)
 The title are of the layout, easy to see the lime green of it here
 It was cool to add clusters to this layout and got to use up an old die cut that I had gotten in a swap, but I had in numerous counterfeit kits :) Glad to see it out of my stash and on a layout
 This cluster has the flower name besides the date the pictures were taken. The fabric flower I had gotten in an old swap too.
 Was able to use up that button (got a few more to go yet in the big buttons in various colors) I like adding the string to it and making a bow.
 The journaling. A little bit of information about the flowers I found online and some personal thoughts too.
I was also inspired by Whimsical Musings Challenge #27 - Inspired by going green We are going green.  But I am not asking you to make a Green page (although, you get extra points in my book if you do!) I am talking about the concept of "green" - Repurposing, Recycling, Re-using.
We do our part of "Green" so glad to be able to use buttons on this layout :) Most buttons that you see on my layouts usually come from old shirts of the hubby's that he cuts the buttons off and I receive them :)

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the rest of the blog hop. Your next stop is over at Elaine's blog
It's great to have her back around the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blogging again and looking forward to seeing what she has create :)

  20. Trying to play catch up here Tina, it will take me a while. lol I am totally loving this layout! I think it may be my favorite so far to date. I love the papers you have used, and I love the embellishments, especially those buttons! I too, save buttons from shirts and such. But it is those beautiful flowers you have in your pictures that I am in love with. Your monochromatic color combo let the the pictures just shine on this layout. Just beautiful! Hugs, Brenda
