My Inspiration: Kim's Layout
Welcome to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge April Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from Mar's blog.
This month's challenge was to get inspiration from one of the Counterfeit Kit Design Team blogs! I chose a layout on Kim's blog that I absolutely loved. I thought the whole design was really cool, but there was something about the unique format of the title that inspired me. I never mix it up with my titles.

The picture in my layout makes me laugh. I love lobsters. When I was in Vegas years ago, I found Lucky Larry's Lobster Mania slot machine. I won a little money and I didn't want to leave Larry - he was lucky indeed. Flash foward 7 years later, I'm in Aruba at the airport and walk by the game room. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Larry. I was beyond excited. Over a slot machine. The attendant thought I was crazy when I asked if she would take my picture with him. So, I thought, this layout needs a silly title and some silly paper. I stamped the "C" and "K" onto red paper and then covered with clear scalloped stickers. I kept it simple with button accents and cut a lobster using my Cricut and the "From My Kitchen" cart.
Now it's time to bounce on over to Tara's blog and see where she found her inspiration. Thank you for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteVery cute! I like that huge scalloped circle die
ReplyDeleteFun layout! I was wondering how you managed a pic in a casino :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always having to mix up my titles - I never have enough letters in one alpha set, so I may as well make a feature of it!
ReplyDeleteFab story behind your lovely page too (the red buttons are perfect embellies) - hope Larry was lucky this time around too.
Love the lobster. Your layout makes me realize how important the story is...I often "leave" the journaling till "later" and later never seems to come.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will inspire me to get it down in writing before i set the page to the side!
That is a cute lobster...thanks for letting me stop by
