What a lovely color palette for either Autumn or Spring, depending on your hemisphere! That's what Master Forger of Ceremonies Tina had in mind when she chose our kit to counterfeit this month, but first let's see who will be our Guest Designer?

Hi,
I'm Jen & I'm glad to be joining you this month. I've been
scrapbooking since 1996 when my sister showed me her album. Patterned
paper is my favorite supply, but I love everything scrapbooking. I live
in NJ with my husband, Fred. We have two grown daughters and three
grandkids. Most of my layouts are about travel or family. I am inspired
by challenges & look forward to this fun month of scrapping with you.
Isn't it dreamy? It is made up of these papers:
- 2-12x12 49 & Market- Serendipitous- "After the Rain" Paper
- 12x12 Simple Stories- Simple Vintage Winter Woods- "Winter Blues" Paper
-
12x12 Carta Bella- Welcome Winter- "Frigid Flannel" Paper
- 12x12 Echo Park- Call of the Wild- "Under the Stars" Paper
- 12x12 Uniquely Creative- High Tea- "Table Setting" Paper
- 12x12 Prima Marketing- Aquarelle Dreams Collection- "Forget Me Not" Paper
- 12x12 Simple Stories- Simple Vintage Winter Woods- "Ice Blue/Aspen" Paper
and these alphas, embellishments, cut file & mixed media:
- Bottle "Hickory Smoke" Distress Oxide Spray- 1.9 fl. oz.
- Pinkfresh "Happy Holidays" Puffy Alphabet Stickers- 220 pieces
- NJFB "Aurora" Baubles- 24 pieces
- 49 & Market "ARToptions Viken" Ephemera Bits- 73 pieces
- 1 "Family" Cardstock Cut designed by Paige Evans
As always I tackled the papers first:
A-side counterfeits: 2021 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Teal/Whisper, 2010 My Mind's Eye Meadowlark/Dawn, 2011 My Mind's Eye Lost & Found II/Breeze, 2018 Pinkfresh Studio Indigo Hills II/Gorge, 2021 Memory Place/Rustic Dreams/Easton, 2020 Pinkfresh Studio Days of Splendor/Like a Dream, 2020 Blue Fern Studios Passages/Itinerary, Ken Oliver Watercolored Memories/Hydrangea Blossom.
B-side counterfeits: 2020 Blue Fern Studios Jane's Memories/Lock & Key, Kaisercraft Misty Mountains/ Light Leaks, 2020 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Everyday/Zealous, 2021 My Mind's Eye Wild Asparagus/Tilly, 2021 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Peace & Joy/Northpole, Kaisercraft Grand Bazaar/Folklore, Pinkfresh Studio Happy Blooms/Embroidered, Kaisercraft Magic Happens/Fairytale.
Then the other bits:
As you can see I have a few ephemera packs from the 2020 Pinkfresh Studio Days of Splendor collection (also see the ticket cutout paper plus a few others stashed away), an ephemera pack plus the Stamperia Welcome Home papers (in reserve), and an assortment of punches to create tags, stamps, tabs, etc. That yummy green alpha set plus Distress Oxide Lost Shadow spray. I am working on a forgery as well, so stay tuned for the Forgery on the Fourth post & will choose a cut file as needed.
