August counterfit kit layouts

This month I started with something a little different, a bunch of friends and myself are doing a 'decorated notebook swap' which is exactly what it sounds like lol. Jess, who I was sending to loves pink so I bought a hot pink book then sat and stared at it for ages trying to think of what to do. Then I had a flash of inspiration, Jess pins on pinterest a LOT so maybe there would be some ideas there. Sure enough i found this :)

Now the doilys I had were too big but I came up with this instead. I knew she liked stars and her partner bikes a lot so I tried to make it personalised to her as much as I could. I was sure I had a little wooden turtle somewhere (she has a verne teddy from 'Over the hedge' which is like a mascot) but could I find it?! NO I hunted everywhere for it but no luck. Watch I'll find it now I've gave it to her lol.

Ithink she was pelased with it so thats good :) This is the other layout I did, but the time I finished the book it was late so this was just a quick one. I loved the dark and bright colours in the kit so I stuck with that here. Really old photo from a theme park we went to, Caitlin was really worried the dragon was going to eat her daddy bless her. I did the title Daddy & Dragons because hubby is a huge D&D fan so it was a little nod to him. :)

Keeping with the dark/bright I alternated black glitter buttons with random coloured along the bottom. For a layout that took me not even 10 minutes from start to finish I was quite pleased with it. :)

Well today was another productive busy day. The morning was mainly tidying away clothes, then wrapping lots and lots of christmas gifts lol. I know I'm dreadful. I think with Marks illness though, though hes a lot more stable now before he was so all over the place I seem to need to be ready early, this way if he has to go into hospital I'm not running about like a looney getting everything sorted and caring for him. That and I'm a slight control freak. lol.
