Counterfeit Blog Hop March

Hello and welcome to the Counterfeit Kit blog hop for March- if you are here by accident you might want to go back to the beginning and start here- if not welcome!

THe blog hop this month is about Scraplifting yourself using the kit created for the original Counterfeit Kit challenge- the idea was to copy the latest sold out Studio calico kit- and then gut using it-

This is my kit- i just used what I already had- I bought nothing extra ( but later in the month i did buy a bee stamp inspired by the Studio CAlico kit-




Anyway onto my Scraplifting- I actually did two LOs- the first was inspired by this Lo because of the tags which I had in my kit ( sorry about the uncropped picture - something wwird happening with Picassa)
This is what I made-they both actually have the same title- can you see it too?- I look at this picture of me with my Mum and i think of how much I llok like my second son
This was my second LO the first LO is about Nancy being left handed-On the scraplifted LO I swapped the side of the shape- again I used an old photo from the 70s as I thought it fitted well with my papers- this photo is from the day in 1979 that I started school for the first time- my fifth birthday- but the photo is of my younger sister playing in the snow
I hope you like them- thanks for stopping by- please leave a comment so I know you've been

Next stop on the hop is Marlynn over at Mar's Scraps- find it here

    Very nice layouts. I like how you made your pictures brown to match you layouts.

    Both fab scraplifts - I'd seen the handwriting page before and loved it, but the scraplift really rings the changes - I love how you've used brown for a cold page - very creative!

    I love the first one with the double tags - love the design and the colours and the layering. I love scraplifting and it's so much fun to see how you are all doing this. TFS

    I love how you tied the tags together. Totally cute! The ABC die cut paper is something I need to find!
