Best dog days of summer images

Please give Cindy's Guest Designer, Doreen Vazquez, a warm welcome! 

Hi there! My name is Doreen. I go by Doreena online as sort of shout-out to my hubby who likes to call me Doreena. 

... I've been scrapping for approximately 20 years and though I have scrapped and still scrap mainly 12x12s I recently started dabbling in Travelers Notebooks, Pocket Pages, and Project Life; in fact this is the first year I've attempted Project Life and let me tell you...it's been a learning process!

 

I'm excited to be a Guest Designer for Counterfeit Kit Challenges and look forward to what the month brings us!

050417 CKC May Forgeries

CKC is all about creating elements from our supplies & stash.

Because, of course, in my hoard of 2,469 wood veneers there isn't ONE like these!

I like to make my counterfeits simply.

I grabbed some kraft paper, brown ink & some Felicity Jane stamps.

 I love their stamp sets because there are always a lot of words & sentiments that go with the shapes.

Just stamp & fussy-cut!

Now you have a go!

And make sure you share your creations on the Facebook group or Instagram.

Thanx for stopping by!

050117 May CKC Kit Reveal

A little bit of whimsy :)

Christy Strickler, our Guest Designer this month, is practically family to some of us!  

Get to know her better on this Digiscrap Geek podcast.

Ready for a look at May's kit? 

Of course you are...

Gossamer Blue March 2017

I thought I could match up a lot of the papers from my Felicity Jane stash but that didn't pan out. I took a little different approach & took inspiration from the papers for the rest of my kit first.

Let's take a peek in the Magic Blue Box!

This paper put me in mind of these alphas.

The adorable critter paper bear reminded me of these.

The circular & multi-colored letters yielded this selection of alphas.

Cursive Thickers should help me make a large scripty word.

The charming books became frames.

 The "A" side of the polka dot paper had these great banners - I couldn't resist!

Here is the full set of papers that I selected.

I know - it's very lean for me! The yellow dot is the only one that is spot on (pun intended.)

 My full kit - "Where the Wild Things Are"

Eager to create with this one. 

Oops!!! Update (I forgot to post my alphas, lol...)

Make sure you don't miss a stop on the hop!

And check back on the 4th for our forgery tutorials & links.

010117 January CKC Kit Reveal

I am making a list of "revolutions" for the new year.

I have yet to decide how to document them if anyone has suggestions.

Have really missed playing along at CKC the last couple of months.

Grateful to be settling in at our new home!

I'm delighted to welcome our Guest Designer this month -  a CKC favorite, Cindy Foster. Cindy is a country girl at heart and an amazingly prolific scrapper who has great success with many challenges each month. Be sure to visit her blog, Cindy's Creations for a look at her scrappy style!

So! Let's get started with our January inspiration kit chosen by our own Master Forger, Julene.

In the spirit of national pride she has chosen an Australian vendor, Shop'n'Crop! 
The kit is full of goodies from Kaisercraft's new line, 

Thiz iz Ubud in Bali:

 Bali also makes me think of the sea, so I have divided my kit into minty green plus bluer tones.

It's BAAA-AAACK! Let's open up the Magic Blue Box!

The papers:

I am hoping to have time to list my product sources this month but if I don't get to it feel free to ask.

 Details:

I ran across these perfect metallic accents & tossed them in...

...along with a rogue mini-kit of  sorts that came in quite handy for my first project.
Those snowflakes reminded me of the mandalas in the original kit.

I love having a lot of alpha choices.

Art tools - I am hoping to try forging the mandalas.

Once more I seem to have gathered an uber-abundance of scrap goodness!
I hope you will take the challenge & dive into your hoard & unearth a kit inspired by CKC.

Now hop on!
