CKC National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop

Happy National Scrapbook Day!

Welcome to my stop on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop. If you arrived here from Jemma's blog you are in the right spot. If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop please go HERE.

I have been scrapbooking for about 16 years and over that time have collected many supplies. I remember the days of stickers and die cuts well. They were the only supplies available at my local scrapbook store. I still buy stickers and I have a lot of Cricut cartridges that rarely get used.

My Challenge for You
I would like you link me to your layout using stickers or die cuts. It doesn't matter if it is a layout made today or a layout made in the past. Just inspire me with your use of these oldies but goodies.

Here are some of my sticker and die cut layouts.
 This layout has layered paper stickers and epoxy stickers. I didn't need to do much because the paper was printed with the little boxes and words. I just added a paper, ribbon and stickers.


 The Coca-Cola stickers are clear stickers, the bottle cap has an epoxy sticker on it, and I added a Thickers title.

 I love these pictures of a rainy day at Disney. I added two very old metal faces with words. The rain and boy with umbrella are Cricut cuts. The title is Thickers.

 The title is large letter sticker (I think BG) and the little bees are dimensional stickers. I always loved that huge floral print paper but it never really "went" with anything.

In this layout I used epoxy stickers that I have had in my stash for a few years. The title is made with Thickers. I was running out of letters so the Ls are actually Js. You can't really tell and I think it looks cute.

This layout was made with a Cricut cartridge. I love the fossil die cuts.

If you would like to leave a layout in the comments I will be happy to look at it. One reader who leaves a comment with a link to their layout will win a prize pack from me. I will choose the winner on Tuesday so you can leave a comment with a link any time until midnight on Monday.

Your next stop on our HOP is Julie Ann. I am sure she will have a fun challenge for you.

Happy Scrapping!

Hiya -

Funnily enough, I have just finished a layout that fits in with your challenge - the Red Roses paper I've had in my stash for many years, but the red roses stickers are something I thought I would never use, and I think they look great and am happy with the result! Happy NSD! (or I NSD, as I am in the Uk .... )

You're right, I have LOTS of stickers in my stash and very rarely pick them out to use. Let me see if I can get this one done - adding to my LONG list of challenges from today!

You're so right with this challenge! Your layouts are great and make the point :).
Sometimes I just have to remind myself to use all those forgotten stickers and die-cuts.
That is one of the reasons I've put a lot of stickers on my March's Counterfeit kit and die-cuts on my April's counterfeit kit, and I really used a lot of them.
Here's a link to a lo I've made with stickers:

And one using K&co. die-cut:

Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful scrappy weekend.

What a great challenge - and I have so many stickers. With all the new latest and greatest embellies out on the market, my sticker stash always goes by the wayside. Thanks for sharing so many wonderful layouts!

Thanks for this challenge. I have a lot of stickers which I rarely use but can't bear to throw out so this has made a small dent in them.

Looks like I'll be trying to add some stickers or die-cuts to my kit this month - just so that I remember to use some.

Oh great challenge - stickers are something I definitely have a love/hate relationship with. Thanks for all the fantastic examples.

I have two:

http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/60958-downtown-westport-4th uses some old stickers that came in the mail with an advertisement to buy a scrapbooking magazine. Have you ever got those? I also used some old Jenni Bowlin label stickers.

http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/60806-summer-cousins uses some letter sticker centers as confetti, and a journaling quote sticker that came free with a scrapbooking magazine.

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.
