Layout: Maddy (Back to School Mini Challenge)

I challenged myself to make a layout using ideas from the Products You Love Every Which Way: January 2011--Border Stickers class.   I was excited and motivated to try to use border stickers in a new way...I LOVE border stickers.  Choosing which border stickers to use was easy because they were already a part of my Counterfeit Kit since I love them so much!

I used two different ideas from the class on my layout.  First, I combines 3 border stickers to lay across my page, overlapping one another, and popped the top one up with pop dots.  Second, I used the tiny scraps from the various border stickers to embellish my journaling block.

I used the following items from my Counterfeit Kit:

patterned paper

tissue paper (from invoice)

stamped doily

border stickers

bingo card

beaded stick pin

"faux" vintage brooch

label stickers (for journaling)

journaling block (kraft color)

I pulled the following items from my stash to complete my layout:

2 sheets pink cardstock

2 pink butterflies

1 yellow butterfly

I decided to add the pink cardstock in order to coordinate the items in my kit with the pink accents in the pictures...which demonstrates just how versatile your Counterfeit Kit can be!  I also realized that I need to add more cardstock to my kits, otherwise I run out of cardstock before running out of embellishments and patterned paper. 

I decided to share another layout I created from my kit as well...althought I didn't use the mini challenge on this lay out, I thought you might still like to see it.   I only used supplies from my Counterfeit Kit on this layout.
