080115 CKC August Kit Reveal

Welcome to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge August kit reveal!

This month we have something old & something new.
The old is our usual inspiration kit to inspire your own.

The new is that this month there is no Guest Designer...
but that's a GOOD thing for YOU!

Check out the CKC Great Master Forger Search post HERE.

Now, for the Scrappy Canary "Globe Trotter" June kit:


Let's open up the Magic Blue Box & view...



I really went for an item by item match this time. I like that when I do this,
I unearth things in my stash that would otherwise NE-VER make it onto a page.


Their papers: Pink Paislee: Atlas - Altitude, Post Card & Ticket To Ride; Cocoa Vanilla: Made of Awesome - Directions; Simple Stories: Summer Vibes - White Wood; Fancy Pants: Making Waves - Boy Shorts & Relaxing.



My papers: grey hearts 2012 Crate Paperstring of dots unknown,vintage items 2014 BoBunny, ombre triangle 2013 October Afternoon, distress blue Heidi Swapp, bugs 2013 October Afternoon, blue bandanna 2012 Authentique, yellow stripe 2012 Echo Park, multi floral Bella Blvd, orange unknown, stars & stripes forgery, yellow floral unknown

This kit had very few "extras" so I tossed in some for good measure!


These were mostly things I pulled to use with my forgeries this month.
As always I reserve the right to cherry-pick whatever I might need from my stash as I create.

 Now no excuses! Keep hopping & get busy counterfeiting :~)




Thanks for stopping by!

  3. My favorite piece of your kit is that stars and stripes paper and I should have known - you forged it! Really looking forward to hearing more about that one. I agree with Suzanne - you definitely can never have too many extras. Great kit!

  5. I had to take a second look at your forged paper as it's so good! I think that yellow floral is October Afternoon! It's a fabulous kit as I would have expected and I love that you matched it item for item. I always enjoy that too and you're right, some things really get unearthed to be included in this way. Looking forward to your FoF!

  9. Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. You had me fooled. On first glimpse of the photos, I thought "hey, she has the original paper there. Oh doesn't it look nice." Then I read the credits. haha. Slight swoon here over the vintage items/bo bunny.
    This past week my church sponsored a staycation. Minister was on holidays but at home. We scrapped from 9 am- 9 pm from Monday to Thursday. I fit in my paid job and had some good production in the blocks of time, before and after work. Felt the scrap mojo coming back.

  11. Love the kit :) I like your approach to it this month, that is the way I do it just about every month :) Love the forgery and when I seen the kit on the main blog I knew I would be forging that one too it just screams white cardstock and washi tape :) The string of dots paper is a good choice why you and I have great taste cause I have that paper in my stash too :)

  14. Lovely kit. I also like doing paper for paper match and I try to match up the backsides at times to. Looking forward to your forgeries and how you use the add ons.
