The challenge for this month's Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop was a great one. Visit your favourite manufacturer's blog for inspiration and create. Now my list of fave manufacturers is huge and I had no idea where to start so I just quickly scanned a few blogs until something caught my eye. I ended up choosing projects from Studio Calico and Pink Paislee.
My first project is based on this layout by Barb Novak that was featured on the Studio Calico blog. The punched circles and pops of colour really stood out for me.
And here is my version:
And a closer look at the sweet denim cog and heart pin.
The second project that really appealed to me was by Piradee on the Pink Paislee Blog.
I loved her use of circle punches (can you see the theme going on here..yes I seem to have a thing for circle punches this month!!).
Here is Piradee's project:
So soft and pretty. Of course my version is neither soft or pretty lol but I did use lots of strips of patterned paper and those groovy punched circles.
A closer look at the journalling:
Circles and splatters make me happy...
