Challenge #2 - Dog Days of Summer

Challenge #2 at the Counterfeit Kit is Dog Days of Summer: Create a Layout featuring pets, summer fun or lazy days.

I don't know about you, but I am definitely not having a Lazy summer or time for fun. It has been a very hectic summer for sure.  I'm using page set #2 from my August CKC - The Country Kit. 

I included this house paper, the stripes and gingham in my kit along with some flowers and ribbon. I added the white cardstock, wood veneer and a stamped flower. The orange ribbon is the only scrap I had. I did not use the gingham paper.

I have a couple of photos I need to scrap for myself and my youngest of Ms. Izzy and her last Halloween Costumes. We would always dress her at Halloween. She loved greeting the kids at the door when we handed out candy. 

I stamped the white flower added the wood veneer into the flower center

August Inspiration Kit and Social Media Hop

 Welcome to the August Inspiration Kit and Social Media Hop. You should have arrived here from Christine's YouTube channel. I have the full hop listed below.  Laurie has picked the Farmhouse Summer by Carta Bella, 

Our Guest Designer this month is Nadine Michelle, known as Paper Route Scrapbooking on YouTube. Please give her a warm welcome.

Now for my August 2025 CKC - The Country.

I went with bicycles instead of barns and doors, watering cans instead of pots and flowers. I substituted in a bit of orange coral for the golden rod color in the inspiration kit.

I didn't quite finish of the Jen Hadfield 6x6 paper pads, DIY Home and Heart of Home so I'm including them again. 

I'm also made a little mini kit from scraps of the DCWV "The Guy Stack". 

As for embellishments I'm including a few ephemera from Jen Hadfield "Home Made", bicycle clips, and of course a few different stamp sets.

Your next stop on the hop is JoJo's Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/scrappyconfessions/
