051219 CKC May Challenge #1

Here I am with a prime opportunity to work on using up my May CKC "Adventure" kit:

Challenge #1: 

One of this month's kit club's perks is a monthly sketch inspiration. Let's do it!

My Creative Scrapbook March 2019 sketch

 Only I did mine like this: 

Sort of!

I left the (now) vertical element out & expanded that cluster to be diagonal across the page. I also used a trendy scallop treatment in a few places, mimicking the signature branding strip I left on at the bottom of the grey dot Felicity Jane/London background paper.

 I love how much movement the tiny peeps of stripe adds! 

The Amy Tangerine elements have a holographic effect adding some shimmer & shine.

The peacock & llama are not just gratuitous accents but actual residents of the zoo.

I backed the acetate peacock with some vellum to help it not disappear on the patterned paper.

Penguins are his favorite <3

Can't wait to see what you do with the My Creative Scrapbook kit sketch.

050119 CKC May Kit Reveal

A fun inspiration this month, but first things first!

Meet Leanne Wagner, our Guest Designer this month.

Here's a bit of her story - the rest is on the CKC blog kit reveal post:

I’m Leanne from Nannup, Western Australia. Where’s that you might ask? Well, just down the road from the famous Magaret River, wine country. Our town boasts the biggest, wooden, man made clock in the World!

My husband would tell you that I am obsessed with scrapbooking and documenting life passing by. I love to photograph and capture special moments in time and save these memories to reflect on in the future. Scrapbooking, for me, is really my go to meditation, but opens a World of communication and friendships.

I only came across the Counterfeit Kit Challenge about a year ago and quickly became hooked! Now, one of my joys in life is when the first of the month rolls around and the challenge begins…bring it on, I say!

So without further ado...our May inspiration kit:
