Counterfeit Kit Blog Hop: Random Facts at 40

Hello! Welcome to the next stop on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop! Hopefully you're arrived here from Emily's blog.  If not, and you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop, click here.

The challenge this month was to use our kits to create a page or mini album all about ourselves with at least one "I" statement on it.  Here's my page, based on a PageMaps sketch from the Spring Issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today:


I knew I wanted to create a layout about me at 40, so I decided to play off the numbers theme and count up some important factoids about my life so far.



Everything came from my original kit except for the letter stickers...dug into my stash for them!  I enjoyed playing with the Basic Grey Elements stickers...it was fun layering them and embellishing with brads.


Thanks for stopping by! If you'd like to see my kit as well as some of the other layouts I've made with it this month, click here. 

The next stop on the hop is Glinda:  http://razzledscrapper.blogspot.com/  Can't wait to see what she did with her kit. Have fun!

    You made some fun little embellishments for this page - the brads added to the sticker is a great idea.
