Summer at Land's End

I started to scrap the photos of a holiday to Cornwall we took in 2007 and it reminded me that we have some lovely places to visit in this country, we've had our holidays abroad for the last few years but I do enjoy exploring the UK when we get the chance. I'm not doing the photos in order, these were taken midway through the holiday when we went to Land's End. I chose them because I am using my counterfeit kit (which I shall share further down) and the first challenge is to take inspiration from Beach reading. One of the book covers on the inspiration pic was of a sign post which immediately made me think of these pictures. (sorry these photos are a bit dark - couldn't get the lighting right as it was grey and gloomy by the time I took them)

 I'm using the sketch from Stuck?!

I started by creating a Mixed Media background - Gelatos, stamping, texture paste, ink splatters

 I actually didn't use any Patterned papers from my kit, just embellishments and a Journaling card.

 I made the little pinwheels myself and just added some tags, PL cards and Nuvo crystal drops (didn't notice the bottom pinwheel had come unstuck...grrrr...have to go back and fix that.

So here is my version of this months Counterfeit Kit. The CK team have used the Heat Wave Kit from Scrapbook and Cards Today from Summer 2015 and I put together this little lot of paper and embellishments.

Patterned paper

Plain cardstock

Embellishments, Thickers and Washi tape

So as well as Stuck?! and Counterfeit challenge I'm also sharing this over at

Have loads of photos form this holiday so hopefully will get to use more of my kit on the next Layout - this one just seemed to fit the MM background rather than papers. Thanks for stopping by...Happy Crafting...Esther
