And they all fall down

 I started by trimming down the "Meh" paper from Pink fresh. I added a green pattern paper to border my paper then matted the photo onto black cardstock. I put a silk leaved on opposite sides of the photo then started filling the top with various leaves that were stamped and then fussy cut or fussy cut out of pattern paper. I also included a die cut that I had left over from the June 2020 - CKC Journey kit  

Then I added the embroidery floss behind the leaves and finally the smaller leaves. 

I did the same thing for the bottom of the layout. I'm not sure what ink I used as I had several of them out and stamping until I found the color combination that I liked. 

The title is a bunch of different alphabets and I think the "fall" acrylic is from Scrapbook and Cards today older kit that I never used (either 2017 or 2018).

Thanks for stopping by.

M and M sun Bathing

I pulled a few of the papers from my Counterfeit Kit - June 2020 - Journey for my layouts today. I also wanted to use some of the leaves that I die cut and included with my kit. Here's the link to the Forgeries on the Fourth.

When we took the patio table up the kid's and the last of their things from the condo it was a beautiful day. We grabbed the cat leashes and took them outside with us. It was their first time on a leash, but they were more interested in sun bathing.

I cut down my rainbow paper for my background, forgetting that I wanted 3 layouts but it all works out. I layer it with the solid patter paper and inked all the edges. I also pulled out the Stories by the month May 2020 for the stamp that says "May your feet take you where your heart wants to go." I thought this was perfect for this layout. Then punched it out and punched out black cardstock to layer it on

I added the die cuts around the page and used a bunch a various alphabet stickers. I didn't want to spell out Milo and Maverick so I used M & M instead. I have a spot near my desk where I have the bit's and pieces of miscellaneous alphabets so that I can use them up. This is a challenge for me as I normally do not put a title on my page

I added a few of the DIY enamel dots around the clusters. I used the photo corner punch in black on the photos and the date of May 2020 (5 - 2020)  is the same on each of the layouts.

Thanks for stopping by.

June 2020 Counterfeit Kit Challenge Kit reveal and Blog Hop - CKC - Journey

Tara is hosting the month of June and has picked a Clique Kit International kit called Wonderful World! She really fell in love with the dreamy, watercolor papers and bright colors in this kit. It has some great stuff for us to dig into and do some forgeries for as well!
We have the Base Kit:

Embellishments:

Our Guest Designer is Becca and she can be found on her blog here. Be sure to visit her blog for inspiration through out the month.

For my papers I have:

Bo Bunny Genevieve Collection and two cut apart sheets (2015); Simple Stories Wood and Gingham; Recollections Rainbows (2011); Colorbok - Mint Julep; unknown teal; Recollections - Teal Paisley; Colorbok - Paisley; Amy Tangerine - Stitched (2014) collection; Pink Paisley - Auburn Lane ( 2019)  and DCWV - Old World Stack (2009)

I also have a little bit of the Vicki Boutin Collection - so I'm going to include that in my kit. 

Some of the embellishments I'm including in the kit.

Our inspiration kit had several types of leaves so I though I would pull out the dies and stamps along with a few punches. There were also various photo corners in the kit so I grabbed that punch as well. I can punch them as I make the pages.

Your next stop is Julene, so go and see what inspired her with this months kit.
