Counterfeit Kit Challenge November blog hop!

Welcome to the last Counterfeit Kit Challenge members' blog hop of the year - things are always a bit different in December!

I'm last in the hop today so if you have come here via creative Tina, you're on the right track but if you've landed here directly, you should head back to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge to start at the beginning. The full list is at the end of the post - it's a small hop this month again but still jam packed full of inspiration for you so don't miss any of it.

This month, the hop is open for anyone to share creations using their kits but not limited to the challenges posted throughout the month. However, here's a recap of those challenges in case you want to check them out.

I decided to go with challenge #2 - It's all relative as I knew that I wanted to make a page about my sister and my new niece who is due to be born any day soon! I demanded kindly asked for a bump photo to match the ultra-sound pic that had been sent through a short time ago and got creating using my November kit, Remembrance. I really just wanted to record how eager we are to meet niece #5 and how we all love her already. Peach is her bump nickname and I'm really excited to find out the name they have chosen :-)



I used a few splashes of black around the page to match up with the blocks of dark colour in the photos and mixed in a hint of green/aqua so that the page wasn't all about the pink - although it nearly was! I'm wondering if I should have added a few ink splats. I'll have a think about that.


Thanks for hopping along today. Don't forget to let me know you were here and in case you got lost along the way, here's the full hop list.

  8. I love that big pennant shape holding your photos (I have that paper too and haven't been able to bring myself to cut into it yet). The colors are pretty and delicate, definitely befitting the subject. What a cute little nickname for her too - congrats!

  9. Love how much you've journaled on this softly sweet page. Won't she find it wonderful to read when she's older? You were right - the little hits of black do help with the dark photos. I think I agree about the splats, btw!
