Last LO with November Kit

I think I'm about done with my November Counterfeit Kit!  Here's my final page before I say "Sayonara!" I'm not sure I'm really loving this page.  There's a lot going on, but maybe that's what makes it fun - at least, that's what I'm gonna tell myself!  Here's a close-up of the journaling and some elements I cut with my Cameo: It's...

Sketchabilities #103 - IRL

So, I've been blogging for quite a while now, and one of the things I love the most about blogging is the friends I've made!  Alison is one of those friends, and I was fortunate enough to meet her "in real life" last year: I used my November Counterfeit Kit and this fabulous sketch from Sketchabilities: I really love how this page turned...

Two Projects to Share!

Still working with my November Counterfeit Kit.  This layout, aw man, looking at these pictures makes me laugh every time!  I used the Week 3 sketch from Let's Get Sketchy: Then I felt I needed to add more "stuff".  Not sure if that was the right decision or not.  Here's some close-ups: Love that owl!  It's from a...

"Lest We Forget"

Here's a page I made with my November Counterfeit Kit, to commemorate Remembrance Day: What do you think?  Is it a mixed media mess, or does it work?  I have to admit, I cheated a bit with my products - not everything was from my kit (oops!)  The stamp sets, Dylusions, and gesso were not in my original kit, but I just HAD to have...

"SMILE" for My Scraps & More

New layout!  Woohoo, I must be on a roll!    Hmm, I like this one.  I think.  So here's what I did.  First, I used a great sketch from My Scraps & More: Then I painted a little spot in the background for the photos to rest on.  I really wanted a white background, and I really wanted white polaroid frames,...

New Card with My Counterfeit Kit

This card is surprisingly simple, but I think I like how it turned out!  I used some leftover MME papers from my Counterfeit Kit.  The vintage book paper is also from the kit.  I cut some layered shapes with my Cameo, inked the edges of everything, stamped a little sentiment, added some pearls (stamp set and pearls are CTMH) and voila!...

Let's Get Sketchy with my Counterfeit Kit

Here's the first of (hopefully) many projects completed with my November Counterfeit Kit! I really like how this page turned out!  I cut some elements with my Cameo - the feathers and leaf card, and managed to use up some of that embellishment kit I've been hoarding for ages - the book paper and this tag: The journaling was the hardest...

Bunch of stuff to post tonight...

...for your viewing pleasure!  Here is a layout I just finished: The colours were taken from Ailis's pajamas, but I had also just downloaded a bunch of digital freebies for Digital Scrapbook Day.  Here is a close up of one, the leaf: The tag I made myself by stamping with Tuxedo Memento ink, applying texture paste over a stencil, and...

November Counterfeit Kit

Hey, folks, just a quick post tonight to show you my counterfeit kit I made for November.  It's been ages since I played along with this fantastic blog, and I'm hoping that by creating my kit and committing to working with it this month, I will actually get some projects finished! Here's the main kit from Jenni Bowlin I decided to counterfeit: And...
