Waves

From the July Counterfeit Kit Page Set 10 I have 3 double 12x12 Layouts. This is what the page set looks like. I used both sides of the paper to make the layouts and added cardstock and some pattern paper to the kit.


I started with the Beach Buzz paper for the first set of layouts. I pulled in the pink from Jen Hadfield's "Best Of" paper pack. It matches perfectly with the lite pink outlines around the words.   On the left side I made a banner with one of the rub ons and use the flip flop stickers on the oversized polaroid photo mats,



I tore the kraft paper at the bottom of the page as I wanted it to resemble the beach.

 
I positioned the large photo mat so that I could still see the word "Paradise.

The second set of layouts I used the Beach Blanket paper and did some stamping to add a few accents.  I stamped them on the glossy side of photo paper and used the heat gun to make sure they were dry before I cut them out.


 I used the dark blue paper make the banners




A few DIY Enamel Dots to finish off the page.

The last set of layouts used the Kraft paper that was in the original Page Set.

 
I stamped the waves with blue ink on a transparency then fussy cut them. I love how it adds to the page. The photo mats and journaling spot are inked an a little bit of twine and DIY Enamel Dots finish off the pages.

 
I added an extra set of 2x2 photo mats onto a single pieces of blue cardstock
I have most of the rub ons and stickers left so I will put them back in my stash to use on other projects.

Vacation and Explore New Places

I used my Page Set 9 from my July Summer Fun Counterfeit Kit for this set of layouts. My oldest had a couple of days back east that he was able to take in some sights. 



I exchanged the blue and green tags for a couple of the map tags, then layered them with a few green sticker labels for a little bit of journaling on each tag.  I also changed the orange black and white twine to brown twine.
I hand cut the tab behind the photo mats on this page, then uses the corner rounder punch for the edges. I used the Sizzix Life Made Simple die for the Geo Tags with the arrow and heart.  and the tab on the other page. 



I used the 2" circle punch to make the scalloped border with some embossed yellow paper.

This is what is in Page Kit #3: DCWV Green Cardstock; Pink Paisley - She Art "Soar", Fancy Pants - Botanical "Tulip". There are a few buttons, some silk flowers, a die cut flowers, a couple of shaped brads, lace and some glass squares.




I added a green label, journaling spot, die cut birdies (they were already cut out) and an green stamped image that was already stamped.  I didn't use the ribbon, flower buttons, glass squares, and shaped brads. I put them in the kit with the remaining paper that I haven't used.

Such a Lovely Day

I had some left overs from a few DCWV paper stacks and combined them into this layout and project life page.
 
I hand cut out several of the banners and hearts for this layout. There was a lot of fussy cutting on this page for the elements. I finally just cut all of them out and put then in a IRIS container so they are ready for other layouts.

 
 
I added the "Such a Lovely Day" to the bottom of white cardstock , a white photo mat to another and a heart border to a third and another banner to a fourth. The rest are papers scraps from the

Crisp Autum Air and Harvest Time

Another set from an older Counterfeit Kit this time from November's

I used page set #3 for a set of double page layouts for my guys.  I normally use cardstock for my photo mats but decided to use the grid paper instead.  I'm really trying to get a couple of paper pads used up or out of my stash.


I kept the photo mats the same on the left and right side for the 8 1/2 x11 pages.

The 12x12 pages I added a little bit more of the light orange paper then added photo mats. I strategically cut the pattern paper so that the Crist Autumn Air and Harvest time would still be readable and used a title for the pages.
