CKCB challenge #1: Geocaching Challenge Blog Hop

Welcome to the CKCBMembers Blog Hop .
You should have come from  Leslie S    http://lcsmithsaved-outofthemire.blogspot.com
 My hidden cache is on the very top , behind the  layout. I made a large pocket for my photo insert and tag using Scotch Foam Tape this allows the page to lay flat.
                                                                         
  Here is my project:




The photo insert  and tag pulled out :


 I placed the photo insert and tag behind paper  to mark placement.Then add foam tape to create pocket  sandwich between background pattern paper and card stock.


The Page Protector is a 12x12 - 6 up- 4x6 photo sleeve  Cut on the crease lines to form 4- 4x4 pockets I used washi tape to close edges . I also used the 1 inch strip that I cut from background at the  top to match the layout .

Challenge #3: No Patterned Paper

This is a hard challenge I love to use paper mostly on my layouts. So the challenge was no pattern paper, I like how these challenges push you out of your comfort zone. Also I used almost everything from my kit .The pearlized blue paper and wash tape were extras.Also the glitter alphas , I used Lindys Stamp Gang Sprays.  I am  mostly  happy with the way it turn out . I have been playing around with my photos on Pic monkey , I like the filters they have .

Counterfeit Leftover Challenge

I absolutely loved this challenge. This is probably my fastest layout ever. I definitely will do this more often. We had to use  our scraps .This is also my plainest layout ,I kept looking at my embellishments and shaking my head no. Finally I just knew for me ,that the story needed it be told very simply. My friend Nancy Mcpeak took these photos . I am so happy the  feeling of love is caught in the photos.

This  canvas is made from all recycled items . Box for Ikea, paper from tuesday morning (what the wrap glass wear with). This will hang on the wall. Measures 14 by 14 .

The product from Lindy's Stamp Gang :

Starburst yellow rose of texas

Counterfeit Challenge #1 Geocaching

Definition from Counterfeit Challenge Blog:
Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world

In others words hide something. Here is my Layout. P is two and wants to do things on his own now. When he does it, he loudly pronounces  "i do  it" . Of course we clap and make a big deal that he is a big boy now.
