How the weekends tend to speed up and Mondays appear only too quickly, so quickly so now I find myself on Tuesday! It's a little bit cooler this week in Yorkshire if I'm honest, the winds over the weekend seem to have stripped a lot of the autumn colour from the trees so it's feeling properly like autumn now. Waking up at 6.30am to find it still dark isn't much fun either, but next weekend they give us back an hour that I've been missing since March so that will be nice!
So I'm going to share a layout I did utilising inspiration from UK Scrappers using Simple Recipes inspiration. This one creates the confetti look utilising the eraser on the end of a pencil dabbed into an ink pad.
The photo was when we visited to Tar Tunnel at Ironbridge last year - you can tell it's over a year ago as said 14 year old is significantly shorter than the two of us, this year - not so much!
Hope you are having a happy scrapping day!
Oh before you go I forgot to mention that I've done a guest post on The Weird Scissors this morning a Halloween inspired mini book (and layout), click here to have a nosey. The Weird Scissors blog is fabulous and has loads of Halloween inspired posts, don't forget to check out all the other work they've done!

SIMPLE STORIES BUNDLE FROM WEAR CRAFT - CAPTURE THIS MOMENT
Morning all, crikey Sunday already - crazy stuff! Anyway wanting to share another layout I've created using the Simple Stories bundle I bought from Jen at Wear Crafts
I love this bundle so much - the colours just me and they are really bright and fun to use up. I've added some white cardstock to this one and then layered up pieces of paper.

I added some journalling, and some yellow stitching on this layout and if you look closely a little bit of glossy accents on the navy blue dots paper at the top!
The photos were taken on the beaches you could access near Souter Lighthouse, the crashing waves were mesmerising!
Hope you have a happy scrapping day!

THE LAST FOUR CKCB MARCH LAYOUTS
Wednesday morning already I'm just getting back into the mode of working which is proving interesting. I thought I would share the last four layouts that I created as part of the counterfeit kit challenge for March.
First up one based on the Simple Recipes from February from UK Scrappers (I love this and have done this 'style' loads of times now to use up scraps and it shows the versatility of the design idea.
This layout documents the first sign of spring for me!
Next up a layout documenting three photos showcasing the Follies for Follies display we went to see at the Rotunda at Wentworth Castle last year.
And another layout documenting the same display but this time incorporating said 13 year old who had one of his painted glasses included in the display!
And finally a sculpture from Crich tramway museum last year. This is quite a busy layout for me, but I quite like it!
Hope you're having a great day!

MIXED POST FOR A MONDAY!
Good morning, well Monday upon us so quickly - blink and I think I missed the weekend, however, it is so lovely to be having drier days and some blue skies, just waiting for the porridge to be cooked for breakfast, then I'm getting changed and hitting the garden for a spring clean up and sort out, really looking forward to it if I'm honest.
So first up is my take on the Simple Recipes on UK Scrappers from February, I adored this class and found the way of using up scraps quite simply genius, I have subsequent to this, recreated the same layout in various different colour ways!
Then a couple of recent entries to the Stay at Home Circle Journal over on Collaborart! This is my take on Titania under the recent Shakespeare themed page (my choice).
And next up an art journal page with the theme Innocence and Experience
I've really enjoyed this CJ up to now, great fun and challenging themes! Hope you are having a fab Monday!

COUNTERFEIT KIT LAYOUTS 18, 19 + 20 THE FINALE!
Yes that's right these are the last three layouts from my counterfeit kit this month, I can hardly believe it either and I have every intention of making my kit for March even bigger if I possibly can because I actually finished using the kit around mid-month!
Now this first layout was following a successful go at the Simple Recipes challenge on UK Scrappers this month, the original layout was subtle soft colours, but what I discovered through the challenge is the way of using up those tiny scraps to still create a great layout!
This was taken at York Castle Museum and by cropping the photo and getting rid of the surroundings it keeps it's comical look!
Next up the impossible task of filling a teenager, it doesn't matter how recently they ate, or how much food they recently consumed, the sub-tropical pool always leads to these two needing food from the coffee bar!
Up close I managed to ink up a chipboard heart and stick to one of the cut elements from a sheet within my kit, hand stamp the word 'drinks' and add a little turquoise stitching!
And finally this one. Documenting us finding the new Buddha statue at YSP last year, only to discover that we'd come across the same statue a few years earlier at the Beyond Limits Sculpture show at Chatsworth when it was 'for sale'!
This layout really was using the very last elements of my papers in the kit. The pink strip across the top had the hole punched in it ready for hanging the pack for selling so I put the 'Found It' statement over so I could incorporate the strip in the layout.
The stars I cut out and used on other pages and then rounded the corners and stuck it down (normally this would end up in the waste bin), a bit of washi tape and a couple of hand cut 'flags' and we were finished
Phew is about all I can say. Can't wait to start the March kit!
