Counterfeit Kit Challenge #2 - Use jean on your project

Welcome to Counterfeit Kit Challenge #2 - Use jean on your project. This is what JoJo had to say about this Challenge. "Use jean on your project somewhere. Either a jean paper, jean buttons, flowers or even make a jean pocket. You can use real jean material too".

I pulled out page kit #7 from my October Counterfeit Kit - Fall Splendor. I have blue white and rust cardstock, scraps of green and vellum, and the Birdie paper, mini brads in bronze and Stampin' Up Earth Elements brands, Pinkfresh Ink- Storm, Persimmon, and old Martha Steward ink for the olive color, Black Ink and clear embossing powder, Jillibean Soup Mini Alpha in Navy blueberry, and a few colored pencils. To make my embellishments, I am using Unity Stamps KOTM March 2012 {from head to soul} birdies stamped in green and Storm, March 2012 {HEART and SOIL} birdie and numbers stamped in Persimmon, and April 2012 {FOLLOW your own} It's a beautiful day stamped in black

I started by making a template for my pocket, a 4x6 pieces of cardstock, folded one end on the four-inch side together and cut the pocket shape.  Now that I have the shape I like, I cut it out of the blue paper and decided on the orange brads for the rivets in the top of the pockets. I used the colored pencils to draw in the stitching lines.  I used the white cardstock journal spot and the Jillibean soup letter for the title to tuck into the pocket. 

I trimmed down the Birdie paper a smidgen, on the top and left and right sides, just so that I have a narrow blue outline from the cardstock. My photos are matted on the rust cardstock, I created a banner on the top right side with the scrap of green and blue cardstock and the Persimmon stamped birdies. 

I didn't like the It's a beautiful day stamped on the white cardstock, so I stamped on vellum and used clear embossing powder on it. I then folded it over the top of the pocket and glued the flap down. I used foam tape underneath the pocket.

Page kit # 5 and # 6 - Zucchini Harvest

 I'm using my Counterfeit Kit CKC October 2024 - Fall Splendor kit for my layouts today. I pulled out the papers from Park Lane - Happy Garden paper stack, scraps, white, red and black cardstock, DIY jars, enamel dots, Distress ink in Bundled Sage and black ink, and a December 2011 Unity Stamp KOT - {. . . filled with love} stamp set.  I added in some scrap paper of the gingham check, grid, scraps of green and orange. 

I am using Christy's Beautiful Like 30 Days of Sketches for Day 5 and 6 for my inspiration. 

Here is the sketch for Day 5 

For Day 5 I am using the white cardstock as my background with the medium flower print, the light blueish green, two of the canning jars, DIY small printable alphabet tiles, the grid paper, and enamel dots. Here is the left side.
