The first challenge over at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog this month was to be inspired by some hats that Bethany had pinned ... and I had a tale to tell about No.3 child and her new beret so it seemed appropriate to be using some photos of her wearing it.

But as is often the way, I got sidetracked and put the unfinished page to one side. Then along came challenge #2 which was to use fabric ... and I'd already decided to make use of some net inspired by those hats ... what luck!!!
We recently spent a weekend in Wiltshire with friends and enjoyed some great rain-free walks in the countryside with their beautiful dog Alfie. As you can see, Child No.3 still had energy left over for climbing trees!
Using my
May Counterfeit Kit, I've based my page on the
May sketch over at Sarah's Cards so that is, appropriately enough, a hat trick of challenges in one layout!!
The date at the top of this post had me a tad worried! I thought I'd missed monday all together, lol.
ReplyDeleteYay, hats!!! Hats should be worn everyday, inside & out, especially trilbys & other fedoras :)
I really like your take on this challenge. I have net that I wanted to use on a layout with pictures of my daughters prom dress. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteWow super page love the cut leaves over the netting makes the whole LO pop.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the trail of leaves on your page. Fantastic!
ReplyDelete..and doesn't that girl of yours have a stunning smile?!
We were on the same wavelength - I used some netting/tulle for my page, too. Way to go on combining challenges - whether you meant to or not!
