April Counterfeit Kit Challenge

by Lesa on April 14, 2012

I haven’t played along with Counterfeit Challenge Blog for a long, really long time and I haven’t blogged for as long. With Spring time in the air, creating takes the cake over cleaning, know what I mean?  Just in case you haven’t heard of this fun blog and the idea behind it, check it out here.  The April Kit  is so colorful, seems perfect to me for scrapping pics of my daughter when she was just a munchin.

Here’s my April kit,  I chose all my papers from an old DCWV Stack called Blossoms and Butterflies. No worries coordinating papers. Built the rest of my kit making the tags, using spellbinders for the white die cuts and searching through my mess of a craft room for the Prima flowers. Those pearls in the flowers are those $ specials that I have a hard time to resist. Excellent way to use them! The orange ribbon is hem tape grabbed from my sewing stash along with the green grosgrain ribbon. Butterflies are another $ spot buy. I like using borders so I cut some and punched a couple. To top the kit off, I threw in some bling, choosing black rhinestones for a it of contrast.

 

Here are the close ups 

 

Hope this makes you want to pull out your  paper stash and put together your own version of this kit. It sure makes me want to scrap and try the challenges those talented ladies have in store for us.

I am glad to be blogging again, and I know this will please my daughter who was so sweet to get me started in the blog world. Please leave a comment, I appreciate your stopping by!
