March Counterfeit Kit Challenge Member Blog Hop

Welcome to the March member's blog hop for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge!I have gotten lots of scrapping done this month-this kit really worked for me. Here's a reminder of what I started with:

The challenge that I took for this blog hop was
Challenge #1 Base a project on something spotted on Pinterest. But, here's the twist, it can't be a craft project (so no layouts, minis or mixed media as inspiration.)

I immediately thought of mood boards, since I love them and pin them for inspiration all of the time. I found this one on my Pinterest: Inspired By Mood Boards board, and it suited my kit, so I knew it would work:
It was actually a mood board to inspire a kit from Studio Calico a year or two ago.  I loved the colors and whimsy of it, and the patterns were very reminiscent of the ones in my kit. Here is the resulting layout:
 I think that this layout captures the whimsy and colors of the mood board pretty well, and also carries out the same fresh spring feeling of the mood board. I also got a bunch of the bits and pieces of this kit down on the page here:

  2. Such a happy spring page! I like the diagonal design and that little cluster at the top with the cloud, heart and strawberry is very sweet too.

  4. Great page and you're right about how you sum up the mood board inspiration in your page. There's a lot of spring whimsy in there. I love the little woodgrain hearts and the ribbon (I always forget to use that). Great page and the pink paper is gorgeous. I think I need some...
