Day 7 - Seven -Swans A Swimming

 Today I'm up on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog with the Day 7 prompt. For more information about our Daily Prompt please go to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog.

To find more about The 12 Days of Christmas prompts and how we are doing things this month go here (December 1, 2022, post here - explaining the month of December).

Here is my page kit for 'On the seventh day of Christmas'

I'm using 2 pieces 12x12 piece of white cardstock (Paper Studio), scraps of blue paper, the cut a part sheet is from a DCWV paper pad, various stickers, glitter domes - light blue, acrylic paint - white, distress ink - tumbled glass, a punched snowflake and a couple of snowflake wood veneers. 

I have done both the story and Techniques of a "White background" and "White Splatter" on my layout.

We have had many a "White Christmas" and a few brown ones also. I have done a layout with three photos. 

The top one is not a "Christmas" picture, but it includes a "Snowstorm" that happened in May. We were hiking up to 'M' in Missoula, The Second photo if of the guys making an igloo in our backyard in 2000 and the last photo is of the getting ready to snow board and innertube down the Mountains in Montana, using the snowmobiles to get to the perfect spot. 

I started with a 12x12 white cardstock for my background and tore the other sheet into strips making snowbanks or hills. each strip is inked with the distress ink. I needed something to make the snowbanks stand out.  I used the stickers around the photos, the photo corners on the layout corners instead of the photos and matted each of the photos. I have a few of the glitter domes around the snow hills that are below each of the pictures I spread out the snowflakes, the white one I again used the distress ink. The journaling is next to each of the pictures. I used the acrylic paint with water to make the splatters.

We'd love it if you'd join in.

Counterfeit Kit Challenge # 2 - At the Zoo

 Challenge #2 at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog is to "Use Triangle pennants on a page. Make your own if necessary. You could have a flagpole with a few funning down, or on the side of a photo."

Our Counterfeit Kit for August is Citrus Twist TRAVELOGUE Life-Crafted kit - April 2022.The puffy Stickers in the kit had pennants on it.

I included in my kit the Spellbinders Nested Lacy Pennants and small pennants and diamond dies.

 Then using scrap paper I made a few pennants. Here are my forgeries.

 As I was making my layout I decided to use a different photo so I changed my pennants to blue. 

From my scrap paper I made a few tags and change the embellishments to blue. I added in a couple of pieces of the Silhouette  between the blue pennants. I inked and distressed the pattern paper behind the photo and added a scrap of lace on the right side. 

Here are a couple of close ups of the embellishments cluster
