2 cards

I'm using smaller items from my Counterfeit kit on these 2 cards.
The first is for Shopping our stash where the theme is butterflies.

I've used a butterfly sticker that was in the kit plus ribbon scraps and one of the 6x6 papers.

The second card is for 100 paper stash and I've used pattern papers, a journal card,3 diecut hearts,embroidery thread and a sentiment.

More than words challenge has the above criteria.
I've scrapped using 2 frames, one I painted and the other is a gold frame from my Counterfeit kit.

I've used a photo of the sunset on Hamilton Island. My most favourite memory of that holiday.
I started by misting through a sunray mask then stamped memory and remember as my background.

While painting the frame, I also lightly added paint to the 2 doileys ,which are part of the layering.
I added flowers as another point of interest on the layout.

As you like it challenge.

For As you like it challenge I had a chipboard snake I wanted to

use so decided to find good qualities of snakes by looking at the

Chinese Horoscope.

Snake - Personality and Characteristics

Wise, Humorous, Brilliant

Snake is usually regarded as a dark, insidious, sly and ruthless being. Both in western countries and China, there are many legend stories about the animal. And most of the time, it is labeled with a dark image. Actually, the animal is also the symbol of wisdom. People born in the Year of the Snake according to Chinese zodiac are usually well-educated, decent, smart and humorous. They can be brilliant artists, political leaders, as well as great thinkers, such as Gandhi, Goethe, Kennedy, and Picasso.

Were you born in the year of the snake?
(1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013).

In summary they have pretty scales quite often and many people keep them as pets or are fascinated by them.
Here's my card

4 crafty chicks

http://4craftychicks.blogspot.com.au/ wants us to celebrate women
As Mothers Day is coming up the solution is obvious.

My sentiment says something to make you smile MUM

FOTF = Forgeries on the fourth.

For Forgeries on the fourth this month I have decided to make cats.
I spotted a cat face in this picture of the original kit.(bottom right)

So my next step was Pinterest where I found a few ideas

I also found one I can use as an outline.

I traced around it then used it on this layout for Paper Issues.

The scrap room jump start sketch

Here is the May jump starter sketch at THE SCRAPROOM
I'm dipping into my Counterfeit Kit and using a paper from imaginisce, that I bought in a fit of madness.
It featured princesses and frogs. I painted over a large part of it so it wasn't as obvious.

I used 2 of 6x6 papers across the middle, a doiley at the top left.
As my big embellishment, I used a beach bag.There are also flowers down the right side.
It was a good jump start layout.

(Yes, I've gone slightly rogue)
