April Counterfeit Kit Challenge member blog hop

Welcome to this month's Counterfeit Kit Challenge member blog hop. 

You should have arrived here via Julene but if you've landed here directly, you might want to go back to the beginning of the hop at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog so that you don't miss a thing.          

This month we were given the following challenges to choose from:

Challenge #1 - Blog Design Challenge: Use the blog design from one of the Master Forgers as inspiration for your project.
Challenge #2 - Pocket Page Inspiration: Make a pocket page card (3x4 or 4x6) the star of your project.
Challenge #3 - BIG Title: Use a large title (or sentiment) on your project.

I've been a bad scrapper recently and this month's kit is practically untouched so it was good to be challenged to get it off the shelf and cut into it. I decided to go with challenge #3 - big titles. 

I had included five different alphas in my April kit, Growth, and managed to use 4 of them here on this page. Three of those are relatively large so that fitted the challenge requirements. And then I made the title so long that I didn't need to add any journalling. I reckon that also fits the BIG title theme, don't you?

I had these six Instax prints from a family visit last year where the quality isn't really good enough for of the photos to be used alone. By grouping them all together into one block, you just get the impression of the evening and the overall feeling is conveyed.

A sprinkling of embellishments across the page in three places for my visual triangle and I was done. It didn't quite kick-start an outpouring of creativity, but it did feel good to cut and glue some paper. 





I'm hoping LOAD next month will get me back to my scrappy self!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you've found something to inspire you today. Here's the full list in case you got lost along the way.

  10. So glad I am not alone this month in tearing into my kit...was inspired by your embell clusters (in fact, I KNOW Ihave those PPframes hoarded somewhere)

  11. Well, I think the inclusion of asparagus in the title might warrant a little bit of journalling! Love the look of the grouped photographs and the way that your embellishments frame them nicely! x

  14. I absolutely adore your layout! Love the product choices and what awesome embellishments! The grid design with the Instax prints is fabulous! I should play along next month with the CKC. I've always felt a bit intimidated by it. But sometimes I do my best work when I feel a bit uncomfortable. . . .
