April 2021 - Counterfeit Kit Challenge Kit Reveal & Blog Hop

 

Let's party!

Hi! Master Forger Leslie here. I know that whatever part of the globe you’re in we are all appreciating gardens about now. Either we are looking forward to them or enjoying them at their peak, so I chose the Garden Party kit from Scrapbook & Cards Today! Here’s how they describe it:  

Celebrate the arrival of a fresh new season with our spring kit, Garden Party! This colourful collection captures the colours and patterns of spring with papers from Dear Lizzy, Jen Hadfield, Paige Evans and Simple Stories. We’ve added perfectly coordinating accents like silk flowers, twine, tassels, mixed ephemera and bright buttons to add special touches to all your projects. And the exclusive 4×6 stamp set, printable tags and kit cut files will bring unique inspiration to your crafting. Let’s tiptoe through the tulips and dance in the daffodils at the Garden Party!

But first let's meet our April Guest Designer - you may remember her from February's Follower's Showcase shout-out!

Welcome Cathy Galloway!

Hi! I'm Cathy and I'm excited to be a guest designer this month. I started scrapbooking about 15 years ago but had been on a hiatus for many years when the pandemic started. During my enforced time at home, I chanced upon some scrapbook process videos on YouTube that inspired me to dig back into my stash. One year later, I am still going strong. Most of my scrapbook pages are 12x12 and often feature my daughter and grandson. I prefer scrapping daily life over occasions and my pages include tearing, layering, and stamping. I am looking forward to creating this month with this wonderful community of crafters. 

Now let's go crash the Garden Party...
