Counterfeit Kit February Part 3

I haven't had a chance to follow along with any of the challenges this month on the Counterfeit Kit blog but having a kit is helping me to actually sit down and play!  I have just had two days off in a row and in between errands I have managed three layouts.  Here are the first two, they are not a double layout but they will sit next to each other in the album.

The title "Hook line and sinker" is a laser cut chipboard shape by RW Laser Cuts (these designs are now cut by WOW Chipboard as RW sadly closed) and I had lots of fun painting it with my paints that The Princess gave me for Christmas.  I even used an old alpha stamp set that my cousin gave me many moons ago!



For the second page I kept the colours similar and repeated the bunting to help with the flow.  Normally I would journal so much more but these are the only memories that any of us could remember!  I have narrowed down the date to possibly around Easter 2000 but I am not writing that on the page until I am sure


I have even used the stamp set that I put in my kit and the Studio Calico date stamp.  I didn't use the date part but I used the tiny row of hexagons on the 'word' section of the dial.  They are such cute teeny hexagons.  The bunting I cut on my Cricut and coloured in the top bit to look like string.  The Princess loaned me the easel she received for Christmas to see if I could get better light outside.  Even in the shade the summer sun is very bright!

  2. Hi Chipper,
    I've just spent a few minutes getting to know you through your blog & super LO's.
    I'm new to the CKC this month but have already made 2 LO's with the kit, one of which I'll use in the blog hop later this month.
    Hope to see you there!

  10. Oh my...I loved your kit and the layouts that emerged are fantastic. I really enjoy the title work on the first. The mixed look is so cool. And the banner on the second is FAB! Wish there was a way to FAVE these...maybe I'll bookmark this page b/c I feel a lift coming on!

  13. Such beautiful colors on this layout! And can I just say as a side note that I really loved what you wrote in your "About Me" profile? Really struck a chord with me and I thank you for not only sharing your artistic talents, but for sharing your thoughts and honesty as well.
