Counterfeit Kit Blog Hop

I am thrilled to welcome you to my stop on the Couterfeit Kit Challenge Member's Blog Hop.  This month, the brief of the challenge was:
"create a project using three patterned papers, three embellishments and a three word title."
If you've been hopping along, you should have come here from Leslie's blog.

Before I show you my page, here's the sketch I used, this month's sketch from Scrapbook Supplies Online:



If there's one thing I've learnt since I started participating in challenges is that you don't have to be 100% literal, 100% of the time.  So if you're trying to count patterned papers and keep going past three, what you need to know is that the green paper is the B-side of the floral that I've used around the edge.  And the journalling card that I've cut in half and placed both above and below the photo strip is, of course, a journalling card.  For journalling on.  Not a patterned paper.  Or an embellishment.  (Which is not to say I wouldn't have defined it differently under different circumstances. LOL).

And I'm sure I don't need to tell you that "spring is" is my subtitle, therefore giving me a 3-word title of "freesia picking time".

Thanks for stopping by, and now it's time to hop over to visit Kate.
The full blog hop list will be published on the CKCB so if you get lost along the way, head over there to find your way back onto the hop.
 I hope you'll leave me a comment to let me know you were here and enjoy the rest of the hop!

  6. oo, I love a good rule breaker *wink*!! I do this all the time and what makes me laugh the most is that you/one justifies it with explanations! ha ha! I could have written your post! But really, this is a super page and the mix of patterns and colours is just great. I love those circular embellies and the strong pink (my colour!) papers!
