January Counterfeit Kit

Welcome to this stop on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog hop. You should have arrived from Jemma's blog.
This month at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog we are counterfeiting kits from Cocoa Daisy. As soon as I saw their Merry & Bright kit I knew that I would be making one of my own. Here is my kit.
The Cocoa Daisy kit included 21 patterned papers. I can't tell you how much I love that. I noticed some pink and blue in their kit so I added some pink and blue papers to break up the red/white/green a little. I put in some Thickers and tiny alphas, a lot of cards and tags, and about a billion embellishments. I have a HUGE Christmas stash so it was a lot of fun to "shop" for this kit.

I have a lot of event photos from this Christmas season. We had a trip to NYC, A Very Furry Christmas at Sesame Place, a band concert, and a trip to a light display. All of that is in addition to our regular holiday activities, so I have plenty of pictures. All I need now is time.

Your next stop on the hop is Julie Ann. I am sure she has a great kit that will inspire you.

I hope you take the time to shop your stash and put together a kit. There is a Mr. Linky on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog where you can show us your kit and what you make with it.

This is lovely! It was a big inspiration kit so it's a great excuse (like we need one!) to get out loads of goodies. Hope you get some time to scrap all the fun extra photos :)

Look at all those goodies - I think adding a little blue to the red and green is a great idea, and one can never go wrong with pink! Enjoy it.

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.
