A Great Love Story for a Use Your Stuff Challenge

Good Morning and welcome :) I hope it's a bit cooler where you love, we've been under a heat advisory for the last few days, excessive heat for 2 of those days. So limited scrapping for me during this time as to the heat and no AC in the room.
This week's challenge over at Use Your Stuff challenge blog the theme is ROMANCE!
Your project could be about young love, old love, a romantic movie, date, a significant other, pretty much anything that shows romance to you! 

I wasn't expecting this type of title or journaling for the beginning page of our vacation last year with this stop in Canton, OH to see the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Love the stenciling of the hearts about the layout. Added a few foam footballs for the theme of the layout :) A decent selfie too.I used my May counterfeit kit-Enjoy the Road for this quick layout. What made the layout so quick was I done the stenciling days before I made the layout.
I chose to use a layout I created during LOAD519 Day 23 was Love Potion #9 (song by the Searchers) The lyrics of the song tell a story but it's not really a love story! Do you have a story with a happier ending? The technique part of this day was to use hearts.
So this trip is our 25th Anniversary trip so fitting for the prompt, plus it was great to see the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we both enjoyed seeing it, would have to say I probably enjoyed it a wee bit more than Dave as I enjoy football a wee bit more than he does :)

 Just a wee bit of journaling for the layout more will come when more pages are created.

My title of the layout thought it was fitting for the prompt.
Thank you for stopping by today I look forward to seeing your creation for this fun challenge over at Use Your Stuff challenge blog

Mini Kit for (I)National Scrapbooking Day

Hi you all the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog add an extra small kit this month for extra inspiration!

We are thrilled today to be in collaboration with the 

Bash Your Scrapbook Stash community 

who can be found on the link below the photo here. It's also a private Facebook Community and its focus is most definitely using up your beloved scrapbook stash and being part of a warm, welcoming, happy, sharing community. 

That sounds familiar! Don't we always say that about The Counterfeit Kit Challenge community?!?

We thought it was a perfect complement to CKC and are excited to be joining them today to share the scrapbook stash love.

The Bash Your Scrapbook Stash group presents monthly and weekly challenges of a different nature to encourage their members to use their stash with specific items, techniques or tools to create scrapbook layouts, projects, cards, tags or even embellishments.

 We picked out the June 2018 Studio Calico kit, "Expedition" and hope that you love it as much as we do!

 My translation from my stash to create my Expedition.

But that's not all! We also have an EXCLUSIVE {inter}National Scrapbook Day sketch for you today, created by our wonderful  MF Susan. It's got so much to love with the full page design, the space for lots of journalling, the showcase photo and the oodles of room for interpretation.  

This is the layout I created from the sketch:

 I also used today's challenge for LOAD519 for my color inspiration which was Green and Gold, I found a green paper to use the B side of one of the papers for my photo matting and I used golden yellow for my paper. Used the silver paper in the kit for the circles and anything green I could find in the kit for embellishing. Worked out well :) These are pictures from the Cleveland Trip we took last year, this was when were going into the City and I was surprised to see not 1 but 2 sport Stadiums within the City.
