May Counterfeit Kits :)

This month at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog they are counterfeiting Work in Progress Kits. This is their main kit. It is full of bright fun colors and patterned papers.

When I made my kit I tried to stick to the bright and fun theme. I added a lot of cardstock and some extra papers. Last month I only had two sheets of paper left so I wanted to be sure to have plenty this month. I also added thickers since I have so many.


I added a ton of embellishments. I couldn't help it... everywhere I looked there was something that would be perfect for the kit, so I added it. It will feel good to use some of these things that I have had for years.


Then I decided to counterfeit their Mother add on kit. I liked the green and pink and I thought it would be pretty with some of my pictures of Alexx and Cassie when they were younger. This is their kit.



For my kit I used pink and aqua. I started with the paisley and the stripe and went from there. I have some cream, white and brown for the accent colors.


I added a lot of embellishments for this kit also. I don't have to worry about running low on supplies this month :)


I was so tempted to make the boy kit also, but I decided that I have plenty here to work with and sometimes it is better to quit while you are ahead. I have a few plans on using my cricut to make some more embellishments and I am going to get started today. National Scrapbook Day will not be wasted here. Thanks for looking.

Wow, those are some king (or is that queen)-sized kits. Enjoy! But be sure to pace yourself - that could be a lot of scrapping!

Your kits look great, I'm very jealous of all the thickers! I also couldn't resist adding lots of embellishments, but I think you beat me! Hope you manage to get through lots of this stash! x

Counterfeit Kit May Blog Hop

Hi. If you are here for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop, welcome. If you stumbled onto my blog and would like to start at the beginning or you are looking for the complete list of blogs you can find it here . Our challenge was to get inspiration from our favorite scrapbook company and their blog. I have quite a few favorite companies, but for the challenge I chose Jillibean Soup . They have so many fun layouts on their blog and I found this layout by Julie Bonner and thought it was great. For my layout I switched the hearts for shamrocks. I had this adorable picture of my grandson from St. Paddy's Day and I was happy to find a cute layout idea. I used my Cricut to cut the shamrocks with the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. I used a touch of adhesive on the top of each shamrock to hold it in place while I was sewing but none near the center because I didn't want the needle to be sticky. I followed the lines of the ledger paper to keep the sewing straight. The layout went

June Counterfeit Kit

I was so excited to see the inspiration kit for June at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog. Burlap and Butterflies put together the great kit in this picture. I really liked all of the pink, orange, blue and green in the original kit so I tried to stick with that. As my main paper and color reference I chose an old sheet of BG that I have had for years. I love the elephants and the colors were just right. I ended up with fifteen patterned papers. My embellishments... What can I say, I went overboard. I couldn't help it. I have all of these great Sassafras goodies from my mystery box so I needed to add some to my kit. I have a few things in here from last month, and a few things that I have had for a long time. I have some buttons, ribbon, and bling mixed in with some tab stickers, chipboard, and journal spots. I made the summer add on and I managed to only use four papers! And only a few little embellishments. See, I have a little self control... But then it ended. I tried to pic

Welcome to the November Blog Hop. If you came here from Jemma's blog you are in the right place. If you came from anyplace else and would like to hop along with us, you can start at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog.  This month our sponsor is Scraptastic Club . Our challenge was to use our kit to make a home decor item. I used my kit (and one additional patterned paper and ribbon) to make this fun wall hanging for my grandson's playroom. I was inspired by this fall wall hanging on Pinterest. My chipboard alpha blocks are eight inch squares. I bought the whole set last week at Ross for $3.99. Thanks for looking. The next stop on the hop is Julie Ann , I am sure she has something beautiful to show you. If you get lost along the way the hop list is below.
