Happy Camper LO for a Counterfeit Kit Challenge

 Good Morning and welcome :) We are having a new challenge over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog starting this year instead of Killing the Kit ideas we have transformed it into challenging YOU, our dear friends, to use the SCRAPS that you have in your kit as you have created layouts this month! So I'm up to the challenge and with only a handful of scraps and the 1st sketch of January from Sketch N Scrap:

Which I have rotated to use with my pictures I created this layout

Using my few scraps, a few 6x6 papers I had in my kit and the stencil I was able to accomplish a fun layout of the last time I had to wear a mask at a health facility.

Thank you for stopping by today and seeing what I'm up to in my little corner of the world. I hope you join us over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog for this fun challenge.

Free to Fly LO for Counterfeit Kit Challenge

 Good Morning and welcome :) it is finally warming up this week in the 30s way better than the teens last week. Counterfeit Kit Challenge has made some changes to what is happening during the month including 2 more challenges. Challenge #3 will always be a sketch and that makes my heart happy. Here is the sketch that was chosen from Page Maps from February 2022:

This is the layout I created from this sketch:

I used 3 different pattern papers from my kit and lots of wordy embellishments too. This is the final day of me being in a cast last year. Lots of journaling for this.

Get a Grip LO for Sketch N Scrap challenge

Good Morning and welcome. Here we are in the middle of January, we are in quite the cold snap at the moment and will be in the same pattern the rest of the week, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Stay safe and stay warm. We got a fun challenge layout over at Sketch N Scrap for the day. This sketch was created by Lori 

I love the multiphoto sketches and this one was a fun one. This is what I created:

My goal this month is working on the 1st 6 months of 2023 to get some of the gaps filled in and this is part of Febraury 2023 gap. Playing along with Baby Got Scraps this month I went through my 49&Market Viken papers because I knew they were purple and got the one teal scrap there was, found a few more purple scraps and got this layout put together with just the one full sheet being that background sheet.

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I created and can't wait to see what you create from this cool sketch over at Sketch N Scrap blog.

 

CKC - January 2024 Kit Reveal - Frosty or Not

Let us use each new year to make the most of every day.  Welcome to my blog and to a new year! 2024 starts us off with a New Year of Counterfeit Kit Challenge kits to challenge us to look through our own stash and choose a kit to play with. 1st you should have arrived here from Christine's youtube channel I'm looking forward to checking out her kit and see what inspired her. We are thrilled to have Kristen join us as Guest Forger. Kristen is known as Scrapping On The Fly on both Instagram and YouTube. Make sure you leave her some love!!!

Tara is our host and she says:

 For this month's inspiration kit, Master Forger Cindy chose the December 2023 Hip Kit Club kit. So, let's take a look at the main kit:

This photo only gives you a little sneak peek of what is inside this kit so I have pulled the photo of the patterned paper because I LOVE PATTERNED PAPER! The papers in this kit are beautiful!  Loving that snowflake wreath!!  Lots of sweater prints too!!! 

 The inspiration had me thinking of Pinkfresh Studio as soon as I saw it. So that is where I started to pull my kit from. Here is my kit for January:

Frosty or Not

First I noticed the colors: Red, Pink, Yellow, Blue, Lt Blue and Navy. I noticed winter icons, snowflakes, houses, sweater weave, circles, polka dots like snow, stars, plaid, wood, leaves and flowers. So I drew from that list and went searching in my Pinkfresh Studio supplies.  So as I'm pulling my kit together and in the process putting some things away, love that even though it wasn't planned it worked out well :)

The papers I chose, top row, went through my winter papers 1st (so glad I organized these when I was organizing my Christmas supplies :) Found a few that worked with the color theme and icons too. The bottom row is all Pinkfresh Studio but 2 of them. Grabbed a few scraps and some 6x6 papers too.

Close up #1: has some old stickers I came across that speak winter to me and some diecuts for a layout or 2, we've haven't had much snow yet but I got some older snowy pictures to scrap.

Close up #2: The puffy stickers and a chipboard sticker pack too, I liked those puffy stickers so much I included 2 of the same one :) noticed that when I was putting them in my container after the picture :)

Close up #3: I found a stamp set that has a snowflake :) brought in some of my December embellishment  kit from Some Assemblage Required as the snowflakes, tickets and that title piece is perfect for the kit, how about that cool brick stencil that MK designed of the box pretty darn cool. Some arrows that matched well in the color scheme too.

Close up #4 is a gift I received in 2022 for Christmas from a scrappy friend when we did an 12 day advent calendar. Never open sadly it was packed up in one of my moving boxes, now is the time to play with it :) That's my kit :) I also will pull inks,mists and any other mixed media supplies ans need as well as cardstock. Thanks for stopping by today and seeing what I'm up to in my little corner of the world. Off you go to Misty's blog if you get lost along the way the blog list is below.
