Babbling brooks and fishing tales- March Counterfeit Kit add-on Updated embellies


Babbling brooks lead to dreams of rainbow trout, steelhead, sockeye salmon...DH loves to fish and go       boating. My "In The Woods" Kit will be used for our times in the woods up at the lake. I have 3 years of     boating photos taken in the old boat to catch up on (YIKES!!!). The new boat will be delivered this month. I think it about time to get the old ones into layouts.

Last year DH and SIL caught a huge rainbow trout. ..I  think it was 27 inches.  I will imortalize those fish photos into layouts with this add-on.  We have a photo of  the fish beside a tape measure, I think I will use the little blue grid flags to record the weight and  length.  I  am really looking forward to scrapping with this kit.  

Still having camera card troubles...will post the fishing embellishments tomorrow after yet another trip back to the camera store

March Counterfeit Kit...Wildflower Add-On Kit

Whew! Finally got my camera card problems sorted.  Apparently size does matter as my camera can't read the card correctly if it is over 2 GB!

Here is my interpretation of the Wildflowers add-on kit.  The sheet music is from a little shop in my Mom's small town. I picked up some band and choir books from the 50's, 70's and 80's for a buck apiece. Lucky for me, there were some song titles that had to do with flowers. The doily and the little child ephemera was found at the same shop...I think I paid around 25 cents each. What a score.
The envelopes were just some old, long, cream coloured ones I picked up at a garage sale. I just cut them with a border punch. 

I will be using this add-on kit mainly for the flower beds and landscaping up at the resort where we keep our 5th wheel.   Pretty well all this months kit is to scrapbook our camping, fishing, swimming and relaxing times with family and friends, while we are up there.  I like the fact that it will all co-ordinate with the Back to the Woods theme.

March Counterfeit Kit

 Had some camera issues and couldn't post my March Counterfeit Kit up till now.  I have to say I had a really hard time putting this kit together.  It is hard enough to sort through the stash looking for one type of paper, cardstock etc.  Trying to pull papers for all these different add-on kits gave my ever lovin, concussed pea brain, a big, fat headache. teehee
 
 I gave up trying to pull them all and decided to tackle them one by one. So far have I have managed to take photos of my main kit and 2 add-on kits.  More add-on kits to follow as I am still having pesky camera card troubles.

Here is my Into The Woods main kit.  Lots of camping layouts are in my future. You can just see a bit of Kraft cardstock in the bottom right corner. I plan to use lots of Kraft on these layouts.  I  have added some log stamps and a bit of ribbon from my stash but can't redo the photos yet.  I included some little chipboard critters. We have a couple of squirrels that hang out in the big tree on our lot and have a beaver family at the marina, so hopefully these will suit those layouts.
