It’s a rainy Monday here in the northeast, a perfect day to create with this pretty colorful kit I pulled together for the April Counterfeit Kit Challenge. In the previous post you can see my kit. So liking the happy vibe I feel when I pull this out to play with!
I made a layout using the sketch found here. It’s a really nice simple sketch and I thought it was time to try using an white back ground, which I have never done before. Here’s my first clean white layout.
I was pretty ok with how it came out. I used quite a few pieces of my kit which I liked. This is a picture of my Dad and our daughter taken 10 years ago. Yup, now you know how dang far behind I am in scrapping my family. I thought I would be scrapping all those pictures in chronological order, silly me!! Anyway, back to this challenge~ I stayed true to the sketch, except for the number of pennants using 3 instead of 4 and adding a few more embellies.
About the picture, it’s one of my favorites of my Dad and our daughter. I looked over and they were sitting together chatting. So glad I quickly snapped that picture , my Dad passed away 4 months after. 
Oh those everyday moments, how quickly they can become a cherished picture.
So there is my first challenge done. Let me know what you think, l like it when you pop in and let me know you were here! And Kasi, I have a copy of the picture for you~

You know I love the layout (especially how you did your title), but I didn’t know the story behind the photo! It is definitely one to cherish-and of course, Kasi’s looking gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing, Lesa.
Thanks Sherri! Felt good to put that special picture on a layout. Those candid photos can turn out to be the special ones!!
That’s a great snapshot, and you’ve scrapped it so nicely too. I like the way you’ve done the titling & tie-in to the tag too!
Yes, I am so glad you have a copy for me, Mom! I love this pic! Nice layout, I really like it. And thanks Sherri, you are very sweet!
I am so glad you were able to get that photo of your dad and daughter!!
The LO is awesome! I love using a white background but I remember when I did it for the first time. I was so worried that I would hate it. I loved how that one turned out.
Gosh Tara, thank you! I am so glad to have gotten that picture, warms my heart each time I look at it. Clean white backgrounds are a challenge for me, but now that I have done one, I’m ready to do it again!
Great job with this sketch! And that pictures looks priceless – what a great way to showcase!
