Counterfeit Kit #3

My 3rd counterfeit kit is from A Million Memories, March 2010 but I can no longer find the image on their site or blog, so...here is my take on it. Basically their kit was a few pieces from Cosmo Cricut Material Girl and Garden Variety, some green alphas, a lot of ribbon and some buttons. I stayed pretty true to that since I have the Material Girl/Garden Variety double deck paper pad, except I left out the dressmakers pattern patterned paper and substituted greyish ad patterned paper instead and substituted a different blue patterned paper.
It's overcast today and late afternoon, so not great photos, but here are the layouts I made.
Layout #1...I'm not especially pleased with it, but I've been moving the pictures around for 7 years, so I'm glad to get them scrapbooked. Just a couple pics from my trip to Phoenix for my sisters community college graduation and the story of calling Rob "captain", as he was driving an "Enterprise" rent a truck that weekend. Added in a BoBunny sun journaling die cut and an MME frame.
Not really sure what I had in mind for this layout, but I think the result is cute. Not often I use lace and flowers on a layout, so go, me!
This layout started out as something completely different. The left hand side is a sketch by Becky Fleck/Pagemaps and was supposed to have a pic of Brandon from several years ago in the makeshift "office" he created in the corner of the living room to be "just like dad". As I was working on it, I couldn't escape the fact that I only see these papers as "gardenish" and I finally gave up, created the second page, slipped the yellow strip in on the left hand side to balance out the yellow and added the chipboard die cuts. Now, I have a layout ready for garden pictures this spring. :)

Still have some paper and scraps left, but after moving them around for 2 days, I conceded defeat with 4 different sets of photos and put the scraps in the "make cards" file and called it good.

365Layouts total: 39 layouts and 3 mini books.
