COUNTERFEIT KIT BLOG HOP - CHALLENGE #1 - LAYOUT 30

Good morning lovely people my turn on the Counterfeit Kit blog hop for March.

You should have arrived here from Laura over on Beads and buttons click here to go back if you need

If you get lost along the way - then you can always head back to the Counterfeit Kit blog here


I took up the first challenge this month and unusually for me I've stuck to just the one - that challenge was to do with borders.  In amongst my kit was a very 'regimented' paper made of hexagons I decided that if I put the inner section out I had a pre-made border, which I could add to with a different middle paper - I had a lot of fun and it will make me rethink some of my papers in future.  Additions of washi tape, a few strips of paper and some punched hearts.

The photo documents skimming of stones - which became more 'lobbing of rocks' if I'm honest.  But they both had great fun!

Right next up on the blog hop is the lovely Sherrie who can be found here 

And this is the total blog hop list in all it's glory

Love that paper and great way to use it

Great idea to create a border - less overwhelming than the whole sheet and double the use! Had to laugh at the lobbing of rocks comment - we get like that too!

Janine Rachau said...

Love it!! Marvelous border work and I think that this monochromatic page is stunning!

Julene Matthews said...

Looks fantastic! Great idea to cut out the centres & fill them with something different. That is thinking outside the hexagon. LOL

Margie said...

Susanne said...

I love the mix of patterns and shapes here. Wonderfully scrapped.

Clair said...

What a fantastic idea - I would never have thought of cutting into my scrapbook cardstock in this way. So clever!

Great take on the border challenge x

Lisa said...

great way to see your papers in a new way and to interpret the prompt in an original way too. Another great month of layouts!

LOL - I had that paper in my January kit! Interesting to see such a different way of using it.
