Hippity Hop CKC Members Hop 0415

Greetings and Salutations!

In the hop for the second month in a row! This is a record for me.

Did you arrive from Jemma from Just JimJams?

If not you may want to go to CKC blog to start at the beginning.

The challenges for this month were:

Challenge #1: Pick A Challenge

Challenge #2: Sketch Challenge 
Challenge #3:  Spring Challenge
I chose Whimsical Musing challenge #165
Little a Designs

The colour and textures in this mood board was to drive our creativity. At the same time I want to stay true to the graphic simplicity of Messy Box, the inspiration kit this month.

What I came up with was this:



That is also chimes in for challenge #3 Spring Challenge was serendipitous.

I don't use purple in scrapping very often. In fact, I think my current usage is one layout with purple, per year. Love my new butterfly punch. Love my lilacs. They will be giving another splendorous show in about 6 weeks.

And now on to the next member:


Thanks for stopping by. Double thanks for comments.

    1. Hi Maggie , the punch is Recollections which is Michael's store brand. It was $36 regular price but I got it on sale for less than $10
