March 2019 - Counterfeit Kit Challenge kit reveal & blog hop

It's good to be here on the first of the month to welcome you all to March! 

 

Yes, spring is on its way and I'm so thrilled to be able to inspire you with a wonderful kit full of happy colours and fun elements. This month's kit is Scrapbook And Cards Today "Blue Skies & Butterflies" which was showcased in spring 2018. 

I was particularly drawn to the wonderful spring-like shades and all those fun words, florals and butterflies - you can never have too many butterflies!

You can also find layout inspiration directly from the designers who used the original kit 
here at Scrapbook And Cards Today. 

I'm totally delighted to welcome back our beloved former team member Susanne as our Guest Designer this month. She's such a wonderful, creative scrapbooker - not to mention prolific, organised and inspirational - and I'm so happy that she's joining us in March.

"Hi there, this is Susanne, a scrappy Midwesterner living a simple retired semi-rural life in Indiana with my husband of 30+ years.  Both our children grown and on their own, so I have plenty of time to putter in my upstairs studio. Puttering often turns into pretty layouts and pocket page spreads.  You may remember I was previously on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge design team, before taking a 2 year blogging break. All the while, I kept tabs on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge's Facebook group, and I am delighted to be back as your guest designer this month.  It is the perfect joyous way to jump-start my scrapbooking and my return to blogging at Snaps And Snippets. I hope you will come visit."
