Welcome to the May Counterfeit Kit Challenege Blog Hop!
The 28th is my favorite day of the month. I always look forward to participating in the challenge and also hopping and finding inspiration on all of the gorgeous blogs. This month the challenge was to pick your favorite scrapbook manufacturer and find something to inspire you on their blog. I immediately went to October Afternoon. I am in love with their paper. L.O.V.E. The best part of their blog is they have a quick list of all the paper lines that takes you to a specific project gallery.
I found my inspiration in the Thrift Store gallery. I loved the overall clean and simple design and the use of stitching. In my layout, I stayed true to the design, but went for larger photos, lighter wintery tones and a bit of bling. The blue & white dot paper from my kit really got a workout. I used every last scrap across multiple projects this month. The nail polish bottle is from my Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut cart.
This layout captures my favorite birthday tradition - getting a pedicure. I get the same polish every year - it is called Days of Wine and Roses! This year I decided to capture the day with photos of my feet with the wintery blizzard outside and then happily hanging out by the fire inside. Check out those icicles! A silly yet memorable page!
Now its time to head over to Ashley 's blog! Thanks so much for dropping by! I hope you enjoy the hop and find lots of inspiration today!
Great page, I love the contrast of the two photos, and I love the idea of getting your nails done as a birthday tradition. The title 'happy feet' works perfectly! x
