070122 CKC July Kit Reveal & Blog Hop

 

246th birthday of America!

Master Forger of Ceremonies Tina says about her choice for July's CKC inspiration kit:

As the summer months come into being so does vacations so I thought that this would be a great kit to inspire us to get out those vacation theme scrapbook items and those vacation pictures to be scrapped.
 

May 2022 ROUND TRIP 12 x 12 Add-On Kit from Citrus Twist

 Please welcome her Guest Designer is Clem Reid!

Hi I'm Clem, It is really exciting to be guest designer for July with the Counterfeit Kit Challenge community. I live in Shropshire UK with my husband and 6 year old daughter. I have been scrapbooking since 2003 when my American housemate introduced me and I've been obsessed with pretty papers and embellishments ever since. I love that it combines crafting and storytelling. I love how scrapbooking can bring people together who share this loved hobby. It also helps me to relax from my job as a Therapy radiographer.  

 

I am mainly a 12x12 scrapbooker but do some pocket pages. A great kit this month. I especially love the florals, doilies and pastel colours in this kit as well as the travel theme. It seems perfect as we reach summer and can start to take more trips this year. I have pulled out lots of travel embellishments I have collected over the years and papers that have similar colours and patterns.

I can be found mainly at Clem @smilinthrulife and my new website Home - Mindful, Create, Connect (clemency-reid.com) where I will be sharing my creations. 

As always I began with the papers. Theirs:
