Double trouble and another layout.

Today I made a layout using scraps and offcuts from my Counterfeit Kit.

I layered them from the bottom up in order of size (roughly), with the shortest at the top. I then mounted my photo on floral paper, so it stood out.

I'm also pleased that I used a journal tag from my kit, they mount up.

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

Next is a card for Double trouble.

We are asked to use these colours, which I have.

Also, they want

Recipe: Warm & Cuddly 3-2-1 Recipe

Servings: Unlimited Portions of Fun

Ingredients:

3 Colors of your choice

2 Layers

1 Warm & Cuddly Image

Use a stamped or digital image, or

one that is die-cut or hand-drawn

My card contains the 3 colours plus 2 layers on top of the background and warm and cuddly image. I happen to think flowers plus a love banner gives off warm cuddly vibes. I searched but had no woolly jumpers or fireplaces or puppies.

Here's my card.

I'm posting this to a close friend whose birthday is coming up on 14Th.

Throwback sketch and GOALS at The Scraproom.

I'm working on this throwback sketch today and decided to use vellum for those squares. As my photos are from inside Cologne Cathedral, I thought the vellum will add a nice touch.

I have also used a pink flourish with a bling from my kit plus a sticker tag. My alphas are also pink and glittery but provide enough contrast to be seen. There were some glittery flowers in the alphas set to match, so I used those too.

Another requirement for this is to use something from your stash more than one year old. The vellum is about 7 years old. Despite it being very pink, I'm happy with it.

And to go with it I scrapped a second page for the GOALS challenge.

G=glasses

O=overlapping

A=arrow

L=lace

S=sticker journal space.

Now I stitched them so you can see the double.

Freaky fast Friday and Jumpstart challenge.

Yesterday I followed the Freaky fast formula at The Scraproom and made this layout.

One of the things I haven't done over the past few years is use cardstock as my background. This bright yellow was ideal for me to put the florals and busy papers I use on the circles. It was a reasonably simple layout which I enjoyed making.

Next, I made this layout

It was based on the sketch from The scraproom which was the jumpstart sketch.

I cut into the red heart cardstock as it went so well with the grey plus matched the kangaroo paws in the photo. The small embellishments are from the Confetti pack in my kit.

Scrap our stash and Mystical bright challenges.

Scrap our stash has this sketch. We must also include 3 different patterned papers and 3 different embellishments.

I've started with my background paper which is a forgery in my kit. My photo is from a "get together" I had with former neighbours from childhood. We get together about once a year.

I've used 3 different green papers which are all 6x6 and cut to size. The big strip down the centre was from a kit covering a book. I didn't use it so put some of it on here. It is a bright contrast.

The tabs are cut from a gingham tag, also in my Counterfeit kit this month.

My 3 different embellishments are the pink asterisk that matches the title, the black telephone on left hand side and the yellow person on the bottom. You could also count the 3 wood veneer arrows.

At this point I discovered a second challenge, At Mystical Scrapbooks Louise wants 1 bright colour, two-word title and 3 arrows. This also qualifies for that, so I'm combining.

Mystical 1,2,3 challenge.

My 2nd layout this month is for Mystical scrapbooks

Therese's challenge is 1 title, 2 photos, 3 patterned papers.

I used 2 photos exactly the same plus a fairly neutral paper frpm my kit plus abusy one with brown circles. It matched the bubbles in the tea squishy. The 3rd paper is the yellow behind the photos.

I also added black cardstock that has been embossed, white lacy edging and a black tassel as my feature.

Mystical Scrapbooking December challenge #1- Julie's sketch.

We were given this sketch and asked to use 2 lots of bling on our layout.

I used some of the items from my January kit on here. Pink vellum, cream embossed and the background pink floral plus I also used pink and white striped ribbon top and bottom of the photos.

My 2 items of bling are blue rhinestones in a circular shape on top of the tabs plus tiny white pearls in a row. The photos were taken from a video made of her when she was a baby,36 years ago. Slightly out of focus but very precious.

January Counterfeit Kit.

Happy New Year!!!

The kit we are counterfeiting this month is

https://www.hipkitclub.net/december-2022-main-kit

It has a Christmas/ winter base, but I've gone rogue as far as the theme goes.

At the moment it is summer here, so I've based it around summer/beach idea.

Presenting my kit, Summer at the beach.

Here are the papers from the kit.

Here are my papers

I've tried to match colour and similar pattern where I can, but I have put a summer spin on it.

I've included papers featuring ice creams, swimming, thongs (flip flops). Also, there are 2 different waves papers. As well as that there are bright colours , plus a few neutrals. One of my neutrals is a forgery.

The kit embellishments are winter themed, so I used similar colours and textures again.
