Counterfeit Kit Challenge Members Blog Hop - September



Oh, hello there!  I didn't see you at the door.  Come on in and stay a while!  Did you just come from Sherrie's blog?  I'm sure she had a wonderfully creative project to share with you.  Can I offer you a cup of tea?  (well, actually, you may have to get that for yourself!)

 Anyway...welcome!  I have a quick post to share with you today.  I've been busy, busy, busy with scrappy deadlines, but wanted to take part in this hop to show you a creation from my September Kit, "Spa Retreat".  If you don't remember, this kit is all about peace and serenity and what could be more serene than BUTTERFLIES?

 Take a look...


As it states in the journaling, the butterflies just about posed for the camera during this photo shoot.

I used this sketch from "Page Maps" that I found on the Scrapbook & Cards Today's facebook page.  I've been finding this to be a great resource for inspiration.  I followed the foundation pretty closely and then spread my wings and made it my own in the end.

Photo: Have you seen the bonus PageMaps sketches in the fall issue? http://www.scrapbookandcards.com/sketches-fall-2013



I thought a little bit of tulle was a good nod to a butterfly net.  I wanted to include a pop of yellow to tie in to the butterfly's wings.  The only yellow letter stickers I had were pretty used up.  I determined my title based on the letters I had on hand.  Perfect way to use up those rag-tag letter stickers.


Not much to say here, but this little tag (thanks Leslie) fits the bill.


A little bit of ripping, distressing and tying up makes this photo complete.

And that is all for today!  I'd love to sit and chat for a while, but Julie is waiting for you.  I'm sure she has something fabulous to share!  Thanks for stopping by!  Do come back soon!

    Lovely lovely lovely! There is so much detail on here that I need to go back for a second look. The kit you are using was so beautiful - I'm not surprised that it would work so well for these pretty butterfly snaps. Love how layered this is, and rich with pattern. Def a FAVE!

    I love photographing butterflies - just a little more challenging than flowers since they may just fly off. You've made me think it's about time I got some scrapped. Thanks for sharing your page.
