Entering into the dog days of summer in my part of the globe, I would like to give a warm welcome to our August Guest Designer Sherri Thompson! Be sure you toddle over to her blog if you haven't already hopped there, say hello, & prepare to be inspired.
OODLES of inspiration this month over at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog
with this bodacious inspiration kit line, "Penny Arcade" from Studio Calico!
Three main kits plus add-ons with names like Skeeball, Spun Sugar,
Fortune Teller, Pinball, High Striker, Funnel Cake & Bottle Toss,
I am now looking forward to our county fair this month!
My very first thought was to do page kits with those names in mind
(wish I had) but I reverted to starting with the papers & never looked back...
Let's go see what's in the Magic Blue Box!
Hot Summer Days
Make sure you visit the CKC tutorial post on the 8th to see how I forged these:
Now continue on the blog hop to reveal more inspiring counterfeits from our Designers!

Wowee! What a ginormous kit. Love the colourscheme. Looking forward to seeing how your creations turn out.
ReplyDeleteThx, Julene! Don't know WHAT I was thinking but now I believe I will do a mini-book.
DeleteThat should use up a lot of my goodies :~D
Another amazing blue-box-full - love the little people tape
ReplyDeleteThx, Jemma! The little people are actually a strip from an ancient patterned paper.
DeleteWow! That's a whole lotta fun in a box! Can't wait to see what you create!
DeleteOh my, you're gonna have a whole load of fun with that box full!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, yea, Lesley! I've decided to work on a mini-book this month to try to dig deep into it.
DeleteWow so cool to see all the kits in one place! I agree about the names to makes you really think of the local fair :) Another box of fun :)
ReplyDeleteThx, Tina! I thought it was fun to see the vast scope of this kit line. I did cherry-pick things from each one :~)
DeleteLeslie...hi from Ontario Canada! I'm hemming and hawing about making a kit this month as we are on vacation for almost 3 of the 4 weeks (which sounds lovely and I hope it is!!) but I can't count ;) and I'm curious...how many patterned papers do you have there?? :) you know how I love PP.... xxx Heidi p.s. I always love to stop by and see your blue box :)
ReplyDeleteThx, Heidi! Just make a few quick page kits to work with on the road.
Delete(I'm embarassed to say that there are 27!!! different papers in my kit!)
I think I will do a mini-book this month to try & use it up, lol.
Enjoy your vacay! Remember to let me know if you are ever by here :~D
I think the number of PPs sounds PERFECT. I like the concept of minimalism and fewer, but I like the reality of many more choices and combos :) :) :) (ha!) the more, the yummier ;) HW
DeleteOops! Almost forgot, hope retirement is treating you well my friend!!!! Praying that you continue to experience God's blessings. Heidi
ReplyDeleteThx - and you as well - xo
DeleteFabulous - there is a definite sunny warmness to your kit. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThx, Susanne! I think I will work on a mini-book this month to attempt to kill my kit =D
DeleteOnce again...a kit full of rich colors and supplies. I like the denim blue against the rust red and then the pop of yellow. Such a great combination. Loving those feathers that you could put in your little top hat! Happy Scrapping! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThx, Lynnie! Cute idea for the feathers ;~D
DeleteWoah that's a huge kit. Love how sunny and summery it feels.
ReplyDeleteThx Stacy - I will be looking for YOUR kit on Mr Linky (wink-wink)!
Deleteoh my my my...... I'm sooooooooo coming to your house to play!! I love everything in your kit! I'm so inspired to go get mine together now. (Bit partial to big kits!!!!!) Cant wait to see what you create with it Leslie!!
ReplyDeleteThx Mandy - I am determined to SCRAP with this one this month!
DeleteIt is fun too to put them together :~D
Red, orange and pink, reminds me of mixed flower beds that are at their best form about now. I can imaging how some of the fun embellies are going to show up on stories about your little people.
ReplyDeleteThx Sherrie! You are right about the grands - just had a visit from the Peaches so lots of pics to scrap :~D
Deleteoh wow!
ReplyDeleteHi, Angela! So glad you snuck out of seclusion just long enough to hop.
DeleteEnjoy the rest of the school break :~)

DeleteWow!! Love the paper selection in your kit. Such awesome embellishments, I will have to see about making some feather embellishments and love the map stencil. Looking forward to seeing all your creations.
ReplyDeleteCindy F.
Wow, I think the name of your kit is just perfect, some of those papers scream "hot" (but in a good way) and you've got so much yumminess going on!
