After looking at all that I've come up with my kit:

                                                      Just BEE-cause.

Here are my papers

I used yellows and blacks as my main input, but then added an orange chevron and a wood texture in very dark grey. I also added some 8x11 yellow cardboard pieces.

Being winter here, I'm happy to work with brighter yellows. It's such a happy colour.

My embellishments

I found the bee stamp so used it on the journal cards.(More about on FOTF)

I also added other cards, ribbons, pompoms, embroidery cotton, flairs and flowers. 

I put words there but might use alphas as needed. 

A big welcome to Sara Rouault our guest designer for this month.

I live in Newbury, Berkshire UK. I’m a PA to the Directors at a Building Society. I have two grown up children and one granddaughter Daisy who is 6. I’m a widow of 19 years so I know to make the most of every day - we’re only here for a visit. 

As a child I kept Newspaper cuttings of the Royal Family in a scrapbook and I started to scrapbook my photos about 11 years ago but stopped due to life events, however I really got back into it during 2020 - COVID and lockdown! I have followed Counterfeit Kit Challenge on the blog for years but only a few months ago joined the Facebook group and got stuck into creating kits from the inspiration each month. I have hundreds of photos still to scrap from many many years of snapping away and I like to use a defined kit for each event, occasion or holiday so CKC is great to help me focus on pulling different collections from my stash together to use this way for each project.  I love all the ideas each month and the support and comments posted in the group is so encouraging - everyone is so lovely. 

Now here's the blog hop.
