Courthouse Travel Kit

After I wrote my post yesterday I dived in to make my first kit for Counterfeit Kit Challenge.  I wanted it small and it turned out large.  I'm going to definitely have to work on that item.  When I started pulling embellishments is where I really went overboard...I do for every layout, too.  But never seem to use all I pull.  I also wanted to make this first kit easy for me.  I started with one of my oldest Paper Bakery Kits almost used up.  Then picked out some scraps and one full sheet from Carta Bella So Noted.  Then came two full sheets and a Large Die Cut from MME Stella Rose.

I call it Courthouse Travel!  When I do a layouts of the courthouses in my state I don't use travel paper or embellishments.  I'm focusing on the courthouse and the inspiration it gives me.  My inspiration came from the type of items in the kit. I don't do near the traveling I did before I was married, and now the kids are grown I sometimes make a day trip to photo some of Texas' County Courthouses.  Other times Larry and I are off to attend a cattle event or visit a friend's ranch and we stop to see the courthouses along the way.  There is an amazing amount of history and architecture in Texas Courthouses. I think this will make a perfect kit for my day trip adventures. 

Here are the kits we had to counterfeit from Citrus Twist:
