Counterfeit Kit Challenge #2 - Sketch It Up - to be continued layout

 Challenge #2 at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge is to Sketch It Up! The Sketch Lisa picked out is from Basic Grey 2012 

You can find the blog post here. Lisa say's it's a double page spread but feel free to use it complete or just one of the pages - it features some chevrons which reminded me of the photo corners in the HS sticker book from the kit and I really think it can be reinterpreted to reflect today's scrappy style if that's the way you want to go?

I had included two pieces of paper from the Colorbox - French Silk paper pad to use as my background on this sketch and one additional paper for the chevrons. I was planning on using scraps for the horizontal papers. 

As I was cleaning off my desk I came across the Colorbok Patterned Paper, Stickers and Punch out pack in Truffle and saw the sheet of the glittered leaves and had to do some fussy cutting as I thought they would be a perfect replacement for the chevrons. 

I pulled in one of the acetate 4x6 cards and cut it apart for my title "to be continued" I thought was perfect as it is a work in process and not finished at this point. 

I used embossed brown cardstock and cut several circles out the bottom one is moved up a little to include the journaling instead of the title.

I changed the photos up a little, on the left side I used a 3 1/2 x 4 and 4 x 6 photo, on the right side another 4x6 and a 4 x 3 3/4 and a 4 x 2

Don't forget to stop by the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog to see the inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.

Counterfeit Kit Challenge - CKC August 2021 - Having Fun:
Paper: Colorbok - French Silk paper pad (unknown), Colorbok Patterned Paper, Stickers and Punch out pack - Truffle, DCWV - Photoreal 180 sheets paper pad - photo mats dark brown wood grain and cookie paper (2016) and various scrap paper, Heidi Swapp Project Life "Mix and Match"
Misc.: adhesive, circle dies, Xyron 

Not Quite Finished

 I pulled the Simple Stories Wood and Gingham peachy woodgrain paper from my Counterfeit Kit CKC August 2021- Having Fun Kit for this double page layout. Origninally I  cut off 4 1/4" for the right side of my double page layout. I started with my main focal photo (the large photo on the left) at 4x6 photo and then changed  to print at 5x7 and the others are various sizes depending on my placement. 

I was planning on using a different stamp for this layout but when I got this garden gate with the flowers I knew I had to use it here instead. I do have a white picket fence in my garden for decoration, but I have Bleeding Hearts in white and pink, Ferns, Stargazer and Easter Lilies planted there. 

I stamped several of the picket fences and either used them whole or cut them to fill in on the sides of the photos. My journaling in again quite large and is next to the large photo. I thought that it looked a little bare next to the large photo so I stamped another picket fence and cut it apart to carry across both pages.

Who's Butt?

I pulled the Echo Park - Capture Life "Good Times" from my August Counterfeit Kit. I had planned on using this paper as a cut a part sheet for these photos, then changed my mind when I flipped the paper over. I matted the photo's onto black cardstock and then onto the piece of the pattern paper. 

Here is the 8 1/2x11 Layouts:

Closer look at the left side:

A closer look at the right side:

My journaling was a bit long, so I typed it up and pulled out theses black and white journaling spots from Luxe - really old ones but they are perfect for the side of the photos. I printed the journaling, trimmed it down and added to the journaling spots. 

The 12x12 layout on the left side:

The right side 12x12 layout

I little bit of Amy Tangerine's camera paper from the Stitched Paper pad to accent the bottom. The View finders are punched or die cut for the larger one from the backside of the "Good Times" paper. 

Another four pages done with my kit.

 Here is my fourth layout using my August Counterfeit Kit - CKC August 2021 - Having Fun.

I used the front and back of the Bella Blvd paper for this layout. I added in a pieces of scrap cardstock to mat my photo and then cut it in half to fit behind for more layering. I used a piece of crumpled yellow tissue paper behind the photo mats for some more layering. A couple of left over die cut leaf branches finish off the layout.

Paper: Yellow Cardstock, Bella BLVD - Hello Beautiful "Thanks a bunch" (unknown year), various scraps, yellow tissue paper

Special D Layout

I started with the Scalloped Border paper for the background and added a couple of different journaling cards from the Mix and Match set, scrap pieces of paper and a 4x6 journaling card from the Large Journaling Cards cut a part sheet.

After I had my layout and colors picked out I painted the chipboard “d” I included in my kit. I decided to go with and orange and blue colors. Originally I thought I would only pick one of the colors, but I liked how the orange picked up his shirt colors and the blue with the colors on his toys and shoes.  

Thanks for stopping by.

August 2021 Counterfeit Kit Challenge Reveal and Blog Hop

 Welcome to the August 2021 Counterfeit Kit Challenge Reveal and Blog Hop! You should have arrived from our Guest Desinger's  Blog - Sarah Rice. If not you can continue on from here or go back to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog and start at the beginning (I have the full hop listed below).

Lisa is our Master Forger this month. She says "I wanted something different (as always) and thought the colour scheme of this German kit would be an interesting direction to go. It's not exactly summer but somehow it does remind me of the softer colours of the season. There's some travel beach elements but I think this colour way also works for entering the winter season down in Australia." She is focusing on the main kit but you can find the links below for three additional add-on kits if you want more variety - and for those of you who make the mega kits. Shas picked out the Dani Peuss - May 2021 kit.

We are delighted to welcome back Sarah Rice as our Guest Designer this month. She joined in with our (i)NSD challenges and was invited to join us as a thank you. We are thrilled to have you with us again, Sarah!! 

I pulled my kit together mainly by colors this month and the wood grains and a journaling paper more in the yellow tone instead of the orange found in the inspiration kit. I know I have a cloud paper but could not find, if I do I will add it in. I did not pull in a collage paper but did pull tan pattern paper in which was in the colors. My stripes are in a diagonal instead of horizonal, but the colors are there.
