111222 CKC November Challenge #1 - Life Right Now!

Master Forger of Ceremonies Lisa says, The original kit includes a pack of embellishments from the Pinkfresh Studio Life Right Now! collection and that seems like a great place to start our challenges this month.

Record something about your life right now!

The small things or the big things in life are always perfect for us memory keepers so dig in and see what makes it onto your page this month!

I love these types of pages! I went to my kit for inspiration & chose tickets from the 2022 Pinkfresh/Life Right Now! Slow Days paper with relevant sentiments.

Then I chose the 2019 Pinkfresh My Favorite Story/Best Chapter for my background.

I added a sentiment from the 2022 Pinkfresh Life Right Now!/Time For Fun paper, "Enjoy the little things."

I used one of the 2020 Pinkfresh Days of Splendor tags (pictured at top of post) as a subtitle, "Everyday magic" & dressed it up with some of the ephemera collection. Then I hung the tag, plus each ticket, photo & embellishment, from the title. I'm so happy with how it came out! I'm not normally a collection scrapper.

And of course, as always, we have a full month of inspiration to keep you inspired!

November is going to look something like this:

18th November: Challenge #2 - to inspire you to get creating from your own kit
22nd November: An extra challenge to add a little extra inspiration this month!
24th November: Follower Showcase - who has caught our eye this month
30th November: Killing Kits - an idea or two for using up the bits & pieces left in your kit box

You KNOW that we always love to see your work, so please share your kits and projects with us. You can post them in our Facebook Community, or share them on Instagram (we are @counterfeitkitchallenge or tag us using #counterfeitkitchallenge and #ckcnovember2022).

053018 December Daily 2017

It's Christmas at the end of May!

Quick note on the homemade cover - I received a parcel with the perfect piece of heavy cardboard as a packaging spacer, covered it with sticky back canvas, added Tim Holtz metal corners, and then decorated it! I used large rings inside attached to the binding through eyelets with baker's twine & jingle bells. I covered the inside covers with decorative paper & fussy-cut lyrics to O Come All Ye Faithful from an Illustrated Faith Advent collection paper.

My pages were mostly from the Pink Fresh Studio Oh Joy Christmas collection alternated with plain white or black card stock photo backgrounds. I had a few gold alphabets to choose from along with a juicy assortment of goodies to play with. The pages are 6x10" to fit the book. Although I meant to print at 8x10" and trim the photos, I had a senior moment & printed 6x8", but okay - it's done!

Without further ado...
