Counterfeit Kit - April

Bliss is the name of Nancy's kit for me this month and I am blissful that I finally got SOMETHING made with it. This has not been a crafty month for me and I am crunched for time at the end of the month so these offerings may be all I accomplish. First is a card using bits and pieces of the patterned paper, mostly from Pink Paislee. The rubber stamp is a loaner from Miss Nancy. I did use a base of coral Cruisin' cardstock from Club Scrap to make the card as I wasn't ready to cut into one of my 12x12's. Created based upon a sketch from My Favorite Things suggested by Counterfeit Kit Challenge. Here's a link.

I worked backwards this time and made the layout with the scraps. HA HA HA

Dug through a shoebox of old photos to find some random ones with appropriate colors. As it turned out, once I finished the layout, I discovered the photos on each side of the layout were from totally different years. For those of you who know me well, THAT is not how I scrapbook. But I can live with it this time. So random photos and random dates. These pics were taken on various occasions when I "fend the night" with Mallory when she was a youngster. We had fun snuggling together. And playing with our dogs. 

This style layout is so far out of my comfort zone. Combined with the randomness of the photos, I feel free as a bird. Not saying I will continue to scrap in this way but it's another layout completed for the books and that makes me happy. The sketch was suggested by the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog here.
