111818 CKC November Challenge #2


Challenge #2: Getting Twisty & Sketchy!

Citrus Twist April 22, 2018 weekly sketch
 Yes - it's rolled over to the side! That's on purpose, you see, as the challenge is to use the sketch in any way EXCEPT as it was intended - clever Lisa! So perfectly CKC, as Counterfeit Kit Challenge's intention is always to change things up a bit & make them our own.

The end of last month I celebrated my 61st birthday & I wanted to document it before too much time goes by. I have been doing a fall tidy-up in my studio & ran across this October Afternoon embellishment for my page - the exact year! It even coordinates perfectly with my kit & this sketch.


I printed my photo & started choosing pieces for the layering process.


I really enjoyed working with this kit. I think I was more mindful about coordinating it this time & less preoccupied with forging. You may remember that I changed up the colorway from the original.

Happy Birthday to me!


I loved the little pleated detail on the sketch so made sure to include it.


I used the black & gold washi in my kit to mimic the stickers in the inspiration kit.


I always love a good sketch! Be sure to tackle this one as it is mandatory to switch it up.

We love seeing your work, so be sure to share your kits and projects with us. You can do this by using the Link-Up page here on the blog, posting in the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Facebook Community Group or on Instagram (find us @counterfeitchallenge and share with #counterfeitchallenge )

  1. This layout is gorgeous. I am loving your little embellishment clusters...the little tassel, the calendar/arrow, the paper ribbon flag, all yummy.

  2. Leslie: Wonderful interpretation of the sketch to make it your own and especially celebrate your recent b-day! Blessings for the coming year and more to come! I enjoyed looking at your photos and discovering the elements of your November kit you were able to cleverly incorporate like the tassel clip, coffee ring paper, florals, and dots/bits and bobs!!!
