Fun Box

Well this may be my final project with this months kit i made from Counterfeit kit challenge.  I wish i had time to make more layouts but as we all know you can't have more than 24 hours in a day.
I found this fun box online and just loved it.  I made this to put in my son's room and i am going to put some pictures of him and some of his small stuffed toys in it.  I have come up with many great ideas for this basket, so i can't wait to make more.

CKC BLOG HOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the Counterfeit kit challenge blog hop!  If you have come from Karen's blog your on the right track.  If you would like to follow along then return to CKC and play along on the hop.
Our challenge for the blog was to choose a manufacturer and create a project using something that inspires you.  Well i choose my most favorite manufacturer which is IMAGININCE.  I love most of their papers.  I find them fun, bright and cheerful.  They seem to be great for scrapbooking or card making for kids.
So here is my inspiration from Imaginince.  I found it bright and cheerful but most of all different.

.

What gave me the inspiration was how cute it looked.  So i decided to make two cards from my may kit.  The two cards are for my daughter's preschool.  I felt they they could use a little something for putting up with all those three/four year old running around, hype,whining children.  They do an excellent job of tiring out my four year old, so i decided they need a reward.

 

I love the look of the twirled paper.  It gives the card some dimension and adds a lot of  color.

I used my texture boutique and used a circle embossing plate on the front of the card.i then used paper that had bands of look alike stitching on it and cut small lengths of it for twirling.  I drew on the gold stiching lines and added  my embellishments.
So hop on over to Glinda razzledscrapper and see what manufacturer gave her inspiration.

Here is my project!

So i have finished my project that i was working on, well almost finished, i just need to put it together.  Once i saw the new counterfeit kit for May i knew exactly what i wanted to do with it.  I made a mini album of my daughter's first year of preschool using my "preschool patootie". I love how it turned out and some day when my daughter grows up she will love it too (I hope).
Once i started putting it together i then decided since the pages were only 8x8, i made journalling tags to avoid taking up space on the pages.
Hope you enjoy!

This is the cover of the mini album

These two pages are of her first day at school and some of the friends she played with.

These pages are of our trip to the pumpkin patch, Halloween party and Christmas party.

These are pages of 5 pin bowling and our recent trip to a farm.  The last pages are of pajama day and i put in art work that was worth keeping.

And last but not least this is the back cover.  I was going to stamp "handmade by"  and sign it from mommy but can't find my stamp.

Let me know what you think and come back tomorrow to follow along with the counterfeit kit challenge
blog hop.

Journalling Tags

Here are several journalling tags i recently made to go with my project i am working on. They are double sided and when i post  the finished project you can see how i have used them.

Please help me find!

I have been searching for this paper and sticker/diecuts and have been having no luck.  If anyone knows where i can get it, send me a comment.  I don't want to have to buy it online.  If you have  a favorite camping paper let me know and send me a link i would love to see it.

Camping Paper

As you know we do a lot of camping.  So i am constantly looking for camping paper.  I love paper thee kind of looks good for kids and resembles camping.  I loved the "mr campy" by cosmo cricket but our LSS has been sold out for over a year  How ever i did find this online and see it is due out in May sometime so i am praying one of our two LSS will get it in.

 

If anyone sees this let me know as i would love to get some.

GONE CAMPING

I have spent the last two days packing up to go away for the long weekend.  I love to go camping but praying for the rain to stay away. So just wishing everyone a great weekend!  Off to have some fun!

Finally a post

Sorry i8t has been so long.  From laying in bed sick to having this awful cold, i just could not find the energy to get out of bed.
I've been busy trying to complete some things with my counterfeit kit for May but so far the kids are taking over my time.  So in the mean time here are some cards i made.  I was trying out my new texture boutique machine.
LOVE IT!!!
