Counterfeit Kit Challenge #1

 Our task was to create a layout using transportation in your creation.

I've chosen the Hop on hop off bus which I've used in several countries on my travels.

This paper has a tricycle in one corner so decided it would suit my theme. I had 2 photos on the bus of the seats plus the sign at a bus stop. The third photo gives the illusion on travel as it looks along a road,through an archway.Once matted I placed them on my layout and used 2 bingo cards at the top as extra journaling. I also used one of my masks to write "the journey".

Extra embellishments include a crown and a road map.

Lasting memories checks.

 For Lasting Memories this time, they want plaid,checks or gingham.

I tried something different on this layout.

 I had a scrap of navy gingham so stitched it to the background cardstock then layered white lace curtaining over the top. I added a part of a doiley as my umbrella. I used ric rac as my pole of the umbrella.I made the navy ribbon rosette and used the negative from 3 die cut flowers as my left hand side embellishment. The girl was cut out from a magazine

Rochelle Spears and Scrap with Stacey.

 My next layout is for the Rochelle Spears challenge. We are asked to use this sketch.

and team it with Scrap with Stacey for her Tic Tac Toe challenge

My layout uses more of my Counterfeit Kit papers plus a photo of an old truck we saw on Kangaroo Island.

I've used a brad on the tag plus 2 green staples and 3 "gems" silver stars under the photo.

As it is a manly layout, I didn't think rhinestones were appropriate.

The orange swirl and old camera paper is from Kaisercraft. I used both sides.

I used 3 kinds of letters on here plus my Tim Holtz stencil to add backgrounds words.

Finally, here is my layout.

NOTE: A "ute" is a truck with space in the back to carry goods. In USA they are called a "pick-up".

It is short for Utility but not many people say that.

Scraproom Group Labor challenge plus throwback sketch.

 At The scraproom group challenges the had a challenge using the letters of the word, LABOR as in Labor Day in USA.

Using items from my kit I've made this layout.

I've used L=lace A= adhesive stickers B=blue O=orange and R= ribbon and ric-rac.

This was on my trip to South Australia where I caught the tram along the Glenelg street to the beach.

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

Also next comes the Throwback sketch.

I had 3 photos of Adelaide oval, taken on my holiday so used those.

From my kit I cut Tartan banners plus used the frame on the left hand photo. I did not have a giant bracket so painted one and placed words along it. The top tag and string are also from my kit.

I mixed my alphas as I'm running low on letters but the gold/silver thing works.

Venetian Masks at Mystical

 This month the challenge at Mystical Scrapbooking is movie inspirations.

I've chosen to do a layout based on my remaining photos of Venetian masks from our trip to Italy in 2009.

I've already done one here: Julene By Design: Scrapfriends Sketch challenge

From my kit, I chose 3 maroon papers plus some bling and a label. I used the sketch at The Scrapbook room where I will also enter this.

The movie inspiring this is "Eyes wide shut" 

As a final touch on my layout, I found 2 feathers as they feature on many Venetian masks.

I realised after doing this layout that paired with the older one I now have a double layout.

Scraproom group Freaky Fast Friday

 I used this recipe to create the following layout. Because the 10 x 10 piece was tartan I went back to my photos of Scotland. I found one of the Sir Walter Scott memorial in Glasgow.

For the 1 x 12 piece I used a darkroom door filmstrip featuring red flowers. I matched red brads and some of the red lettering from the mini alphabet.

September Counterfeit Kit.

 Our kit this month is 

{Not} Just for Boys Scrapbooking Kit Club - September 2020 Main Kit - Vivid

https://notjustforboyskitclub.com/collections/vivid-september-2020-premium-kit-add-ons/products/vivid-premium-kit-september-2020?variant=35333340528805

I'm still in total lockdown here after 11 weeks, it is getting frustrating! Again my kit needed to be made up from what I have on hand.

Here's my take on the kit. I've named it "Golden hours"

Papers

The first 2 rows follow the you tube for the kit, representing both sides of the paper,or as near as I can get to it. The bottom row are others I added that match those papers.

Branded papers are 

Teresa Collins "Summer Stories" 

Webster's Pages "All that glitters"

Kaisercraft "Close up"

Ruby Rock it " Orange glittered"

MME "Lush"

Embellishments

The jar contains brown buttons and there's a variety of ribbons and braids.I also found blue tassels.

I have no stamps, but instead have the Tim Holtz word mask.There's no log sliced mask but the other two are versatile for me.
