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!

Birthday Girls: June Counterfeit Kit

Hello! Just popping on with a quick post to share another layout I made with my June Counterfeit Kit.

This one came together pretty quickly....a PageMaps sketch, patterned paper, ribbon, and one chipboard element was all it took.  Oh, and some last minute doodling with liquid pearls!

Be sure to check out the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog...they have lots of great challenges and blog hops going on each month.

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day!  I hope you are all having a nice day!

Today I wanted to share with you the Fathers Day cards I made for my dad and father-in-law.

It was a pretty simple card...kraft cardstock base with rounded corners, with layers of patterned paper (that was from deep in my stash of scraps!)

I cut apart a Hero Arts "Happy Day" stamp so I could stamp it in a straight line with a gap in the middle.

Then I filled in the gap with small white Basic Grey chipboard letters that I colored blue with my copics.

The finished product!

Thanks for stopping by!
