030117 March CKC Kit Reveal

 I am
#soreadyforspring

and thanks to Master Forger Margie's kit choice for March, I'm beginning to believe it's possible!

 Joining us this month is our Guest Designer Raelene. Checking out her blog to get to know her better took me to her February listing of monthly scrap challenges - awesome! Please give her a hearty welcome & lots of love on her posts this month.

Hip Kits Club provides our inspiration kit with their February selection:

Here is my "Inky Fingers Again" March kit:

That beautiful 2015 Basic Grey/Tea Garden/rose hip floral at the top gave me a close match.

The black & white camera is a mere scrap likely to be colored & fussy-cut for an embellishment.

The bold stripe, polka dot & bird/butterfly papers will be featured in our Forgery on the Fourth post.
The black & white brushstroke is from 2015 Felicity Jane/That One Day collection.
The black & white vine print & the small script is ancient stash of unknown origin on flimsy paper.
The tan diamond paper is a 2015 Crate Paper/Poolside with a good B side for this kit.
Last but not least is the ultimate stash buster - the multi-colored Skeeter's Sunsations - "An exclusive product from Paper Adventures" - from 2003!

2014 Maggie Holmes embellishment pack, 2015 American Crafts Thickers puffy embellishments pack, ancient stash of rub-ons from the Dollar Store, a few packs of goodies from Felicity Jane, gold glitter Thickers, 2011 chippy birds from the dollar bin at Joann that are a great match to the stamp set I used on a forged paper, plus one last forged element - the gold heart.

So happy to have gotten back to counterfeiting this month! Felt great to have "Inky Fingers Again"

080415 August CKC Tutorial Post

Welcome to another installment of CKC's

Forgeries on the Fourth!

This month I had a few ideas for counterfeiting from this kit:

First was this Pink Paislee - Atlas - Altitude paper:

I cut papers from the color scheme into 3/4" strips.

I set them in the asymmetric chevron pattern & added 

punched & glued little yellow stars like the original.

 

Voila!

This could also have been accomplished with washi tape.

 

Next up are the polka dot envelopes.

 I didn't think the kraft color related much to the kit.

The library card envelope was an old forgery!

I definitely think these are more likely to be used

this month than if I had tried this with kraft envelopes.

Last but not least are the slide frame pieces.

I am so thrilled to have a new way to use these!

I chose some inserts from my October Afternoon 

Christmas box stash. They are the perfect sizes.

Can't wait to get busy using all my "new" goodies :~)

Thanks for stopping by!
