NSD Scrapbooking

So I went through all the NSD challenges on the usual sites I follow but I just wasn't feeling inspired. I don't know why! Maybe because I haven't scrapped much lately or there were other things to get done today. I ended up pulling out the rest of my April Counterfeit Kit (Something There) and a few pieces from the 100 patterned papers and made a few random pages. At least I'm getting some stuff done! 

iNSD 2017 Challenge 1

It's International Scrapbook Day! I am trying to play along with some of the challenges on various groups. Here is one where we needed to Scraplift ourselves, hosted by Paper Issues on Facebook. 

Here is my original, randomly selected from an album chosen by my husband:

And here is the new one, using my April Counterfeit Kit Something There. I used a picture of my lovely in-laws on a hay ride. 

Scrapbooking in May: Sketch Challenge

I found a sketch challenge on the Hip Kits Club member forum. I used more of my April Counterfeit Kit, Something There, to make mine. I love how it turned out. I'm excited by the green and using so much of the heart paper I liked. 

Scrapbooking in May: Challenge 33

Vacation is over, my tests are all over. It is time to get back into the crafty side of life. I have so many goals for the Spring time (spring cleaning, reading challenge) but nothing makes me happier than scrapbooking! 

The next challenge from the Challenge Jar is to 

Use lots of banners/pennants 

I used my April Counterfeit Kit Something There for this challenge. 

I grabbed a few of my mom's punches. She has this great one that cuts two different kinds of triangles, perfect for making a banner. When I visited Epcot recently, I loved all the stringed lights and banners going back and forth in the little countries. I wanted to mimic it for this page, even though this picture was taken at Sesame Place! 

Scrapbooking in April: Counterfeit Kit

This month's Counterfeit Kit inspiration kit is from Cocoa Daisy! I have been seeing these kits in lots of YouTube videos recently and they are very pretty. Here is the inspiration:

And here is my kit, Something There (I have Beauty and the Beast on the brain).

I was able to pull 9 of the papers from my 100 patterned paper stash! Exciting!
