Smile

I pulled Page set #6 from my April Counterfeit Kit - Best Days for this next set of layouts.

I did add in different yellow cardstock than what I had pulled originally, as I want yellow for the background and on not the photo mats. Here is what I had for Page Set #6.

I have several sheets of white cardstock that are not 12x12 not quite sure why, but I need them used up. I am using them to border the pattern paper.

I know I had included embellishments in the original page set, I'm saving them for later. I pulled a few hearts and tabs that were left over from another project to use instead.

The best thing about a Counterfeit Kit is that you can change your mind and pull in what you need as I did here.

I pulled in a white alphabet - not sure where it is from for the title. Thanks for stopping by.

From my April Counterfeit Kit - Best Days I pulled the blue and yellow paper I did not know what pictures I was going to scrap. I added in blue cardstock for the background and cut a dump truck from the Everyday Paper Dolls in white. The dump trucks are cut at 3 1/2" and 2 1/2".

I colored them with Stampin' Up ink and a black marker and used foam tape for some dimension on the page.

I matted my photos on the blue and yellow paper. It's hard to believe that this February of 2024, which is why Mr. D has his snow pants on, but it was a relative warn day for February.

I turned the layout landscape for the 8/ 1/2 layout, I used blue alphas for the title - Color Theory. They are really old, but I am trying to use them up. Thanks for stopping by.

For my kit I did things a little bit differently this time. I love the green and blue combination and I was surprised how much pink I pulled in. I did add in yellow I have some papers that I'm not sure what I'm going to scrap and page sets that I have specific photos to scrap with.

Unknown papers. Shamrocks, hearts, flowers, pom poms, green doily, DIY crepe paper ribbon.
