Challenge #2 over at the
Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog involved using at least three contrasting patterned papers ... something I wasn't very keen on doing when I first started scrapbooking, but, having put my Counterfeit Kits together, it's become much simpler to use multiple patterns as the hard work of mixing 'n' matching has already been done. Here I have combined my
March Counterfeit Kit with this month's sketch at
Sketchbook365.
Can you count how many different patterned papers there are? I make it ten, counting the vellum of my counterfeit pocket. I inked some BG White Chocolate Chip alphas to match the polaroid frame and cardstock. This page was made during last weekend's Bloggers' Retreat and I was able to borrow all sorts of exciting crafting equipment. My thanks to
Ruth for her fun cog dies and curly border punch and
Missus Wookie for her lovely stamps.
The page tells of our worries that the incredible downpour in the afternoon would continue and ultimately ruin our chance to see "
Fantasmic" which we had planned for that evening . Luckily, despite it raining on our journey to MGM Studios, we enjoyed a dry (if chilly) evening and a brilliant show! My night-time photos were rubbish though so I'm glad that I could get the memory into our Disney 2004 album without them.
That was a great sketch, I enjoyed playing with it. You have done a lovely job on it. One of the advantages to getting together to scrap is borrowing other 'toys'! I am glad you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteGreat page, simple but effective!
ReplyDeleteI loved this page when I saw you making it....and am impressed by how well all the patterns mix and match.

ReplyDeletelol! I was admiring your page, then started thinking 'hang on, this looks familiar!' Of course it does, I saw you working on it last weekend.... *doh!*
ReplyDeleteI'm with Mel - thought I've seen this.... then realised where :) The cogs are so cool, did almost convince me to get stuff out and cut things up - always fun to play with other people's toys!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours, Jemma
ReplyDeleteah yes, Florida rain, we missed MK fireworks because of it! Fab page, well done on all the pp.
ReplyDeleteNote to self: get up more and go and see what everyone else is making!
I am crazy about this layout! The colors are great, and I love all the layers behind the photos.

I agree, all the patternes really go together...cool stamping against the yellow pp!
ReplyDeleteThis page looks brilliant, I certainly wouldn't guess there were so many patterns on it at first glance! I love the cogs! And the pocket for more journaling. I'm glad the rain didn't spoil your day! x
ReplyDeleteI really love what you have done here with this layout - so many lovely elements and the mix of papers, colours and patterns is fantastic. this is def one of my faves this month :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see everyone talking about how they watched you putting this together - only wish I could have been there to see it too. I've been visiting the Sketchbook365 entries and marvelling at the international flavour of all the pages..this one really emphasizes that feeling for me!
ReplyDeleteLove all the layers...and I'm another one who was thinking I'd seen this before!
