May Counterfeit Kit.

 The May kit is taken from Document Life Stories - Scrap Kit Timeless – DLS Design (dlsdesignshop.com)

It has the colours teal, pink, blush, gold, red.

I made a list: 

hearts

houses

circles

tag shapes

floral

scribble/circles

pears

jars

tabs

Here's my kit                                           "Hearts and dots"

It's a smaller one this month.

                                                               Papers

with some close ups                    

My embellishments are light on too.

As you can see the alphas almost are identical to the kit colours. It's time to use them.

There are also tags, library pocket, feathers, wood veneers, ribbons, buttons and phrases. I'll add other items as needed 

Here's a last minute add, which I will explain on 4th.

Farmquest challenge

 Farmquest has a challenge blog where they ask for various country themes. This time it is laundry, washing line, etc. 

I've made a layout about my cousin who moved to the country and lived in an ols shack until they built a proper house. I called it Home sweet home and added a clothesline as a feature. 

Try a sketch on Tuesday.

 I'm finishing off my kit with a card for Try a sketch on Tuesday

I've used a floral paper that came free in a magazine. It is double sided so I cut the circle from the opposite side. 

I used a general sentiment "HI" and a button bow I had in my stash. 

Lasting Memories sketch

 

Here's the next sketch at Lasting Memories  for a single photo layout.

Using a border punch I decorated edges top and bottom. I used strips of blu plis scraps of cream behind the photo. There were 2 branches in my kit that looked a bit like the bubble seaweed so I used those plus the pink bracket and title. I did hand journalling. 

Farmquest

 The new challenge at Farmquest is baby animals.

I have been replenishing my Easter cards as I sold a few just before Easter.

On this card I used a Jolee boutique baby lamb in a sparkly frame that was in my Counterfeit kit. I then added a tiny chipboard baby bird, which I coloured with liquid pearls. 

Just because layouts.

 Yesterday I made 2 more layouts.

Both are "just because" layouts and not for any challenges. I'm ploughing through my Counterfeit Kit.

In both cases I used lots of scraps. After all isn't that what scrapbooking is about? 

My time to craft and Shopping our stash.

 In my Counterfeit kit I put a sheet of vellum featuring baby boy words such as adorable, bundle of joy, little miracle etc.

Today I made 3 long cards using that vellum. I also had some tiny butterflies so used them as embellishments.

I'm entering them at My time to craft. The challenge is butterflies or dragonflies.

            ************************************************************************

I had a small piece of vellum left so used it on this card for a bridal shower. The sentiment on the vellum says MIRACLE. I also added a blue bow button plus a tag I made.

I'm entering it at Shopping our stash. Obviously, this card would be for a boy baby.
