Counterfeit Kit Master Forgers challenge #1: Happy Birthday

Good morning! I am sharing a page this morning in response to the challenge we were given, "Happy Birthday". I used my March Counterfeit kit, along with several papers from the Crate Paper Party Day paper pad, that has sat in my stash for several years with out much love or attention. Here is the layout that I made:

And a few detail shots:


I fussy cut the cupcakes from a cupcake paper in the Party Day collection, and added them in as layering bits:
Thanks for stopping by! I am having fun finding time to get a little crafty again!

In like a lion...Out like a lamb? Welcome March 2018!

Well, March is certainly coming in like a lion in my part of the world. We've had lots and lots of  rain, to the point of flash flooding and roads being closed in my area, and it's still raining as I type this! Hoping that soon the rains will subcede, and the sun will come out to dry up my soggy state. But I was quite happy to lift my spirits with a fresh kit to scrap with. This is the kit that Susan made up for us to scraplift:
I notice a few things about her kit right away. The Blick and white stripe, multicolor stripe, lots of polka dot prints, and a random selection of die cuts, bakers twine, black and white washi, the large wood veneer, puffy hearts, a sheet of stickers, and a sheet of partially used letter stickers. Here is my take on the inspiration kit:


I am also playing along with Shimelle's Clear the Desk class, And this is the first set of supplies that I collected for it:
Come back tomorrow, and I will have one more layout that I have created from my February kit!

Here is the blog hop list to see everyone's kits this month:
