Burlap & Buttercups June Kit |
So I'm very happy to be back in the mix today and shopping my stash to make up a kit based on this lovely one from Burlap & Buttercups. Now, for me at least, there was a little too much pink in this kit - especially after my struggles to use up the pink in my April kit ... so I did what I'd done in February: looked at the essence ofthe original kit, and chose colours that suited me based on that!
I started with the floral paper and replaced it with a couple of florals from K&Co and then chose a few other papers and card to match. The original kit had a lot of ledger-type papers (some on the reverse sides of those shown) so I chose some papers from BG's Recess collection and threw them into the mix. Finally I needed a shaped piece and found one which toned well with some of the reds in the other papers - I may use it as a template first!!!

During the last two months I have been learning a LOT about printing out my own journalling cards, date stamps etc thanks to being a Hybrid Finalist in UKS's Scrap Factor Competition (still hanging in there, just!). I will certainly be adding a few hybrid elements in during my month's counterfeiting as I have become rather addicted to home made tickets, personalised bingo cards etc :D
I am really happy with my kit and have already started creating with it ... hope you have fun with yours!

I do think this is a fab idea. Great colours and papers you've chosen.
Looks a great kit Jemma, must get cracking with mine.
Yep, if I get round to making a kit this month I'll be doing a bit of substituting too. Your choices are much more my kind of thing - I always loved that Wild Saffron, so I'll be looking out to see what you create with it.
I love the warm tones of your kit, and those cream colored brackets are AWESOME!
Very earthy colors - love your kit!
You have some great colour choices here. They will be very versatile for whatever theme you may choose to scrap.
I really like how you changed the tone of the kit. I just picked out the main pieces of my kit that I will use for my travel journal!

Fab kit as always, thinking I might try and play along this month! got loads of summer themed stash and photos
Oh I like it! I want to know how you are making the tickets/bingo cards etc!
Did I totally forget to comment on this earlier today? I'm such a doofus! It's lovely Jemma - and I love how you've pulled out some of the more 'accenty' colours to use as your main colours. It makes the kit so much more you x
This is a great kit. I can't wait to see your journaling and bingo cards. Good luck in your competition!
Such a great kit! I love that big yellow poppy paper.
Very pretty!!! Love it.
Gorgeous kit. I love your colour choices and I have some of that K & Co paper so I can't wait to see what you do with it. maybe it will make it into my kit this month too.

Great take on the kit :) One day I might just be brave enough to have a go myself - seeing how you can so adapt the original to suit your own supplies and style is very inspiring :)
