Happy Friday! Do you have big plans for this weekend? I sure do, NOTHING! We have been so busy with doctors, dentists, helping friends and just everyday life I need a LONG break of doing NOTHING! I hope to craft, maybe enjoy some yummy grilled food and sunshine right here at home. Ahhh perfecto in my opinion!
I hope you enjoy your weekend and welcome to the Counterfeit Kit Blog Hop for May. You should have arrived here from our wonderful Guest Designer Jennifer. This month the challenge was to choose your favorite (or one of your favorite) manufacturers and scrap lift from their blog. I choose My Minds Eye this time around as I love the new Lime Twist, however I did not pull that for my kit this month so I used all Echo Park and Nikki Sivils in this bright layout.
I loved how Shanna had just one focal photo and adored the circles she used. I am not sure you can tell but in my layout I also punched several circles from the white patterned paper and pop dotted them on top of themselves to give it some more dimension. This photo was taken in June of last year on our trip to Florida for Father's Day. I did a pull out tag on the top for the journaling. I made the title "Good times" using new stamps and pattern paper. I am really liking making my own embellishments right now.
Blog candy? Did someone say blog candy? Yes I did, but my camera died before I could get a picture of it, so it is a mini album kit, everything you need to make a mini album. All you have to do is become a follower of the Counterfeit Kit blog (if you are not already) and leave me a comment here. I would love you to follow but only if you like my work. I will draw a winner using random.org and check to make sure you are following and left a comment sometime on Monday. So make sure to check back then!
You are now off to the next stop JESSICA! Enjoy!
Smashing page Crystal - love the sunny colours.
ReplyDeleteLovely sunny page. The circles look great, I can just about see the pop-dot ones too! I like the word 'relax' at the top, it sums up the feel of the layout!
