April Counterfeit Kit Layout #1: Butterflies


When I said I loved butterflies, I was not kidding! Several years ago my best friend surprised me with a trip to Pacific Grove, CA to see the migration of the Monarch butterflies. It was such an amazing experience. Unfortunately, I didn't take the best pictures of the butterflies themselves, but I did a great job capturing the surrounding area. Its ok though, because these photos bring back all of the memories and images of the huge trees with thousands and thousands of butterflies. I went with a bright colored background paper that actually has butterflies on it and paired it with the bright yellow card stock to border the photos. I used my butterfly stamp and cut out the silver butterflies.

  5. Lovely layout for a what I'm sure was a lovely sight. Nicely done on working around the fact that you don't have the exact photo you would have like to have taken.
