It's great to be inspired by the Counterfeit Kit challenges to use your kit!
I mean, what is the point in gathering up all of that scrappy goodness if not to use it up?
Here is my January "Fresh Start" kit.
I had a look through my recent photos & also pondered what might be new in 2018.
I had used the Waterlogue app on my phone to alter this photo of our house.
The story of this new beginning had not been told yet & my kit was perfect for it!

I had a number of horizontal patterned papers & unsuccessfully tried using them for a title piece.
Yikes! Where on earth could I add the journaling?!? I hate it when this happens...
Do over! I salvaged & reconfigured a few strips for the title and went in a new direction...
First I put the story down on paper, which helped me begin to envision
using some of the whimsical elements of the papers to my advantage.
Bonus stash buster? I used a 2009 Basic Grey add-in paper for my background!
Always glad to pull things together & creatively tell my story.
Isn't it cute? :-)

It's definitely cute! I like seeing your first try and hearing how you worked around it to arrive at your final (and lovely) design. And of course I love all that journaling too!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is cute and I agree with Susan that it's great to see how the page progressed from that beautiful photo through to the finished page - which is really lovely! thanks for showing us your process :-) The watercolour photo is great too - must try that!
