080122 CKC August Kit Reveal & Blog Hop

 

Dog Days of Summer...

Master Forger of Ceremonies Julene has chosen her August CKC inspiration kit. But before we get a look let's meet our August Guest Designer, Caryn Adams Kidwell. She is on Clique Kits international design team as well as Theresa Collins Lifestyle  Studio design Team, and her work can be seen on Instagram @thecraftyCaryn From her intro post she sounds like a lot of fun! Welcome, Caryn!



Hello all!!!I am super excited to be the August Guest Designer for Counterfit Kit Challenge Group.  My name is Caryn pronounced (Care-ren); but no one says or spells it correctly LOL. I was born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland (United States). Grew up on the water near the U.S. Naval Academy.  I have been married to my best friend and love of my life for 23 years and we got married on my Birthday; November 20th (this way my husband only has to remember one date LOL).  I am “Madukes” to KK boy & KK girl. I am an outgoing introvert. 

I just LOVE Crafting!!! Whether I am altering an item, creating a layout, journaling in my planner, or making an mini album or participating in Snail Mail Swaps. I have been dabbling in crafting since I was a kid. I was always excited to be in the Yearbook Club, Photography Club & Art Clubs. I primarily do 12x12 layouts. I'm that girl who does not  Scrapbook chronologically AND I never measure. My Craft Studio is my own personal crafty space; I must see everything I have & mess it up constantly creating. As they say, a cluttered desk is a sign of a "craft genius" :)

Now on to our delightful inspiration kit! Julene says,

I chose this kit because of the green colour mainly,but there's also lots of mustard yellows. These papers make a statement ! (Nobody puts these babies in the corner!) The embellishments provide for a variety of holiday/car trip/beach/walking experiences/outdoors. The whole kit has a bright, fresh feel.

070122 CKC July Kit Reveal & Blog Hop

 

246th birthday of America!
246th birthday of America!

Master Forger of Ceremonies Tina says about her choice for July's CKC inspiration kit:

As the summer months come into being so does vacations so I thought that this would be a great kit to inspire us to get out those vacation theme scrapbook items and those vacation pictures to be scrapped.
 

May 2022 ROUND TRIP 12 x 12 Add-On Kit from Citrus Twist

 Please welcome her Guest Designer is Clem Reid!


Hi I'm Clem, It is really exciting to be guest designer for July with the Counterfeit Kit Challenge community. I live in Shropshire UK with my husband and 6 year old daughter. I have been scrapbooking since 2003 when my American housemate introduced me and I've been obsessed with pretty papers and embellishments ever since. I love that it combines crafting and storytelling. I love how scrapbooking can bring people together who share this loved hobby. It also helps me to relax from my job as a Therapy radiographer.  
 
I am mainly a 12x12 scrapbooker but do some pocket pages. A great kit this month. I especially love the florals, doilies and pastel colours in this kit as well as the travel theme. It seems perfect as we reach summer and can start to take more trips this year. I have pulled out lots of travel embellishments I have collected over the years and papers that have similar colours and patterns.

I can be found mainly at Clem @smilinthrulife and my new website Home - Mindful, Create, Connect (clemency-reid.com) where I will be sharing my creations. 


As always I began with the papers. Theirs:
 


Mine:


Top: 2021 Cocoa Vanilla Sunkissed/Growing Wild, 2020 PinkFresh Let's Stay Home/Hope For A New Day-b side, 2020 PinkFresh Let's Stay Home/Kind Hearts, 2019 Echo Park Forward With Faith/Journaling Cards, cameras/prior forgery, 2019 Fancy Pants Just Plane Fun/Destinations.

Bottom: 2018 My Mind's Eye Well, Hello/Hola, Adornit Circle of Friends/Grandma-b side + stamping, 2020 Vicki Boutin Love This Life/Mixed Media, 2016 Shimelle Go Now Go/Arrival, stripe unknown, 2019 Cocoa Vanilla Unforgettable/Sprightly.

My full kit:


2020 PinkFresh Let's Stay Home Journaling Bits.

The transparency is from Creative Imaginations/Narratives - Journey.

Assorted Queen & Co Ice, Goosebumps, Jellies, Posies, Epoxies.

Art-C doilies, 2013 Jillibean Soup Wise Words, 2017 Crate Paper Here + There puffy stickers.

I have some real oldies but goodies in there! I collected a few more things while pulling my kit.

2022 49 and Market Spectrum Sherbet/Rainbow paper, 2019 PinkFresh Noteworthy/Just Be You paper, 2019 Loving Life small glitter Thickers, 2011 Regards Foam Thickers, 2003 7 Gypsies dictionary transparency, 2009 Tattered Angels Rockin' Renaissance crepe paper ribbon Mistables.

I'm hoping to mix in some of the black & white elements this month, as well as using some of those "ransom note" alpha mashup words. I think I'm loving this kit already!
