Everybody art challenge.

 Here's 2 more cards I've finished off using the baby boy paper from my February kit.

They both feature chipboard animals.

I inked the giraffe after painting it white and painted the frog green. In both cases I drew eyes on them.

I'm entering them at the Everybody art challenge

March 2025 Counterfeit kit.

 

The March kit is Sweet Shoppe Designs - Making Your Memories Sweeter

The chosen part was A beach tale.

As we are heading into Autumn I wanted to get my summer photos scrapped. I decided to focus my kit around this paper pad I have.

It still has summer colours, but with a vintage feel.

I removed them and laid them out. 

Two main colours appeared, pink and aqua.

 I'm basing my kit around that. 

Presenting my kit 

Summer Dreaming

                                       Here are my embellishments to match these papers.

 

A big welcome to our guest designer, 

                                                                      Martha Saenz

Hello everyone!  My name is Martha Saenz and I live in San Antonio, TX.  I’ve been a scrapbooker since my early 20s – going on 27 years!  My favorite subject to scrap is my family.  It started with my nephews and nieces but then I got to be a Mom and my little boy Nick was my favorite subject, of course!  I may or may not have about 50 full 12x12 albums of just Nick’s life… LOL!  I blame it on being the youngest of five children in my family and there are hardly any photos of me growing up, but it’s all good!  I also have a chihuahua dog, my little Frankie, and three cats who Frankie works hard to “regulate.”  LOL!  All have their appropriate place in my treasured albums.

 

My scrapbook style is more symmetrical and neat with a touch of whimsy to keep it fun.  I love using my Cricut to make my own embellishments but do not set me loose in Hobby Lobby because things can escalate quickly!  Over about the last three years I’ve become more of a card-maker.  I lost my beautiful son Nick to cancer when he was 17 years old, which was almost four years ago.  I am here to tell you to never stop taking pictures because you never know if one of those may be the last one you have of that person (or pet)!  Keep on scrapbooking all.of.the.pictures. and always tell the stories of who and what you love, and the stuff that isn’t so great, too.  It’s so therapeutic to write it all down and get those treasured memories onto paper, not to mention Alzheimer’s is on the rise and it’s impossible to remember it all! 

 

I hope we have fun this month creating and chatting about all things scrapbooking with this newest counterfeit kit.  My IG is @msaenzmd – “see” you all there!
