#soreadyforspring
and thanks to Master Forger Margie's kit choice for March, I'm beginning to believe it's possible!
Joining us this month is our Guest Designer Raelene. Checking out her blog to get to know her better took me to her February listing of monthly scrap challenges - awesome! Please give her a hearty welcome & lots of love on her posts this month.
Hip Kits Club provides our inspiration kit with their February selection:
Here is my "Inky Fingers Again" March kit:
That beautiful 2015 Basic Grey/Tea Garden/rose hip floral at the top gave me a close match.
The black & white camera is a mere scrap likely to be colored & fussy-cut for an embellishment.
The bold stripe, polka dot & bird/butterfly papers will be featured in our Forgery on the Fourth post.The black & white brushstroke is from 2015 Felicity Jane/That One Day collection.
The black & white vine print & the small script is ancient stash of unknown origin on flimsy paper.
The tan diamond paper is a 2015 Crate Paper/Poolside with a good B side for this kit.
Last but not least is the ultimate stash buster - the multi-colored Skeeter's Sunsations - "An exclusive product from Paper Adventures" - from 2003!
2014 Maggie Holmes embellishment pack, 2015 American Crafts Thickers puffy embellishments pack, ancient stash of rub-ons from the Dollar Store, a few packs of goodies from Felicity Jane, gold glitter Thickers, 2011 chippy birds from the dollar bin at Joann that are a great match to the stamp set I used on a forged paper, plus one last forged element - the gold heart.
So happy to have gotten back to counterfeiting this month! Felt great to have "Inky Fingers Again"

| Thanks for stopping by! |
I love your kit, especially the forgery! Great job!!And big props on using something so old!
ReplyDeleteGreat inspo Margie - def an antique treasure hunt this month
DeleteVery pretty and springlike! I love the birds!
ReplyDeleteThx Kelly! They were fun to do
DeleteSpot on! I scrolled up and down a half dozen times, comparing the two kits. My favorite part is the ancient archived artsy paper. Way to bust the backlog! Then again, I think my favorite part is the forgery paper. The birds are so cute. Ah but wait, that sheet from Basic Grey Tea Party. I have that and I L-O-V-E it! Ok, ok......my favorite part of your kit is......YOUR KIT!
ReplyDeleteI always imagine you examining all the pieces - we get the same pleasure out of kitting I think! #kindredspirits
DeleteWow - love how you set up your kit to perfectly match the inspiration! Great mix of colors, patterns and old and new products. That Basic Grey paper is just stunning - looking forward to seeing you use it this month.
ReplyDeleteThx Susan - didn't realize how much I've been missing the whole kit process! This one may all end up in a travel notebook. You are so inspiring with yours!
DeleteThat is almost identical. You've nailed it! Fabulous collection Leslie.
ReplyDeleteThx Julene- great fun to do the twin kit this month
DeleteJust gorgeous, Leslie! I love your forgeries - they are the same papers I was considering tackling, so I am excited to see how well yours turned out! Also loving your inclusion of some (much!) older stash.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Can't wait to see yours :)
DeleteSo glad that you found my Monthly Challenge List.
ReplyDeleteI love your kit.
I am ready for spring too :) Got that tease last month and that was it back to the cold! Love how you put your kit together and matched it to the picture :) Sweet kit too. Mines just a bit bigger
ReplyDeleteJust a "bit" bigger, Tina (wink-wink)? Can't wait to get a look at it
DeleteThat is SUCH an amazing match to the original kit - I've never thought of going through this process so closely and I love it! We missed you and I'm so happy to have you back with us. Happy crafting and here's to inky fingers!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun! Delighted to be back
DeleteLove this take on the inspiration kit - it's darling. And, I also am more than ready for spring. I hope you're enjoying it x
