Scrapping Clearly January challenge

I used a Fancy Pants paper from my Counterfeit kit on this layout.

Scrapping clearly has a sketch

To begin with I used a sponge through a mask with black coffee to create the brown dots.

After layering my papers and adding photos I used a neutral title and some Bella Boulevarde puffy stars.

The hessian flower is from D-Lish scraps and the chipboard is from Portacraft.

Here's my layout

and the sketch which I can't reduce in size.

Scraplifting.

I saw this layout on Pinterest and thought I would scraplift it.

One of the things I'm trying to use up is those strips that cut off the bottom of papers.

In this case I used a Fancy Pants Vintage Valentine spotted paper from my kit then added strips in tones of dark greens and blacks.

My photo is of a group of palm trees I saw in Las Vegas.

I used a big ribbon bow plus a wood veneer heart and a big paperclip as the main embellishments.

Let's scrap

This is the double sketch at Let's scrap.

I've spent this morning working on this,using my Counterfeit Kit. "Not yet Santa" which features red and green.

Here's the LHS page.

and the second

and finally, the stitched double layout.

I think the bingo card and the Bella Boulevarde puffy star are appropriate, don't you?

Use your stuff

A new month,a new year and time to say Thank you to a few people.

At Use Your Stuff it is anything goes.
at Cute card Thursday it is anything goes

I've used my new Counterfeit kit to make this thank you card, which hints at Christmas but doesn't exactly say Christmas.

First layout.

I've set myself a challenge to use my Counterfeit Kit but not do Christmas.

So here's my first

On this layout I have stitched a large piece of hessian and used a large library pocket I've had for ages to store my journaling. The black tag hanging under the photo is one of a set I made for Forgeries on the Fourth.

January Counterfeit Kit challenge.

This is the Fair Isle Cocoa daisy kit.

https://www.cocoadaisy.com/product/november-2017-fair-isle-memory-keeping-12x12-kit/

And these are accompanying cards

This is the basis of our January kit to Counterfeit.

Looking through my red and green papers, then embellishments I came up with this.

I've named my kit "Not yet Santa" as I'm totally over Christmas and don't want to think about it again for at least 6 months. Yes, just call me scrooge!
