010123 CKC January Kit Reveal & Blog Hop

 

A new month, a new year, a new CKC kit to counterfeit, and a new Guest Designer - please welcome Anandi! 

 

"I started buying scrapbook products in 2007 because I love paper, stickers, and stationery. I didn't have the courage to start actually scrapbooking until I did Project Life in 2012. I fell into a slump in 2020 and 2021 (like a lot of people!) and what got me back to my table was the Counterfeit Kit Challenge last summer. I shopped my stash and made whatever layout I felt like making in the moment. So grateful for this challenge!"

Master Forger of Ceremonies Lisa has chosen the December 2022 Hip Kit Club main kit.

 I knew right away that I didn't need a seasonal winter kit, so I set out to troll for some paper matches for the 24 patterns represented. Some things I noticed: three dark papers - the woodgrain & the two dark backgrounds; mustard dotted & hot pink patterned, bold floral & diamonds, delicate patterns.

Welcome to my trio of page kits, Triple Play!
