030120 CKC March Kit Reveal

March: In like a lion... out like a lamb...

Master Forger Lori is up this month and has chosen a lovely kit, but first let's meet her Guest Designer, Julie Jeavons!

I love my daughter, crafting, photography and visiting new places (with a camera).  She loves school, Brownies, Sarah Jane, Dr Who and Scooby Doo.  We live in Dudley, England, which is known for its Zoo (complete with castle) and the Black Country Museum.  It is also the birthplace of Lenny Henry and Duncan Edwards.  Oh, and home to Grandma and Grandad who give me such wonderful support with childcare while I’m at work.  You might get to meet the rest of the family if you join us and follow along!

March Inspiration Kit:

Citrus Twist Kits February Scrapbook Add-On

(There is also a Life Crafted "Possibilities" kit full of CKT exclusives for more inspiration.)

I got very busy counterfeiting with this one so be sure to return on the fourth! Here are my papers:

 I know, I know - there are far too many! The top two rows are the inspiration kit papers, both "a" and "b" sides. The last are a few extras, ahem...

Flamingo Spring 

 Be sure to visit all of our Master Forger kit reveals for a wide range of takes on the inspiration kit!

We'll be back throughout the month to give you some tips, ideas and challenges as you put together and use your kit. Here's what we have coming up in March:

• March 2nd: I'll be back with a "Just the Gist" post to help jump-start your kit-making.  
• March 4th: We'll have our "Forgery on the Fourth" post where the Master Forgers will reveal how they created their own version of some of the items in this month's kit.
• March 6th: We'll reveal a couple of mini-kits and projects, in case you're a little limited for time this month and would prefer a more petite kit.
• March 12th and 18th: We'll give you two challenges to help you use the kit you've made.
• March 24th: I'll be showcasing one of the CKC community who's caught my eye this month
• March 30th: We'll be offering another installment in our {Killing Kits} series to help you find ways to use up all of your kit.

We always love to see your work, so please share your kits and projects with us.

01012020 CKC January Kit Reveal

I don't know about you but I am always ready to snuggle in & set my scissors flying in January! Lisa has chosen a lively wintery/holiday-ish kit with lots of sparkle & charm for us to start the year at CKC.

Citrus Twist Kits - Christmas Stories 2019

But first let's welcome January's Guest Designer, Melodee Ruley!



"Hi from Kentucky! I am thrilled to be January’s guest designer, but I was nervous about it since I am technologically challenged 😂. I hope that I contribute something positive to this group of wonderful scrappy ladies. I started scapbooking in 2002 when a coworker started selling CTMH. I made a mother daughter theme album as a surprise for my daughter’s 30th birthday. I have about 18 on going albums since every family member has their own. Scrapbooking is my decompression time! I want to thank everyone for their inspiration and I hope everyone has fun this month!"

Shall we take a peek at what I've thrown together this month?
Merry January

1st row (l-r): Authentique 2018 Meadow #6; MME 2017 Oh What Fun!/Elves; MME 2017 Oh What Fun!/Wonderland; Basic Grey 2010 Sweet Threads/Edgy Stripe b; Pink Fresh 2016 Oh Joy/Advent Love; Carta Bella 2018 Christmas/Gift Tags

I've even already made a page from my kit for the January Archi-scraps challenge!

I am planning on having a lot of fun with this kit in January. I hope you are inspired to have a little rummage & pull a kit. Remember that there are a lot of features here at CKC throughout the month (shown below) to help you use your goodies. Remember, you bought them - probably because you liked them - and they long to be shown off & used up to make room for more!

Keep hopping to get more inspiration from the Master Forgers.
