CKC - January 2025 Kit Reveal -Bric-a-Brac

 Let us each welcome the new year and to make the most of every day.  Welcome to my blog and to a new year! Happy 2026! 2026 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 Ryann's instagram channel I'm looking forward to checking out her kit. Our host this month is Vikki and she has chosen a collection for us to counterfeit. This is what she has to say about it: 

The inspiration kit is a brand new one.  It's Curiosities in Willow Grove by Vicki Boutin for 49 and Market.  https://49andmarket.com/collections/curiosities-in-willow-grove/ It's a beautiful kit, but I won't be getting it any time soon.  So what better time to counterfeit it?  My challenge to all of you who have it is to not use your kit. LOL

 So this collection I do have, just purchased it in October. So Its interesting to be challenged in a way to not use it. So considering who put it together Vicki Boutin I thought about Fernwood for a start. Then a nod to 49&Market I used the Vintage Orchard collection because of the fall vibe to it. Brought in the purple through embellishments from the Viken collection. The rest is all a mixmash. Here is my kit for January:

Bric-a-Brac

Here is the full kit. I have lots of paper, lots of scraps, a bunch of embellishments and some powders I would like to try. I will be work with my 2025 SAR advent calendar pieces too throughout the month. Those can be seen on my instagram page. 

Here are the papers. So glad to see the scraps from the Fernwood collection to get me started on the January Baby Got Scraps youtube series, the vintage orchard is on top plus the page kit collection. LOts of odd ball papers in the center finishing off with Fernwood. Total of 30 12X12 papers.
1st closeup is the Viken embellishments and the powders I want to try. 
 This one is of the Fernwood embellishments got a bunch of those yet to use. 
The embellishments that came in the page kit. Lots of laser cuts and diecuts. 
This is an Add-on kit with 6x6 paper pad, diecuts and vellum pieces and a stamp set, though the colors worked well too. This year it's all about using up the collections I have that are almost gone. Yep need room for those new collections that will be coming out soon. That's it, that's my kit for January and I'm looking forward to playing with as I already have some pictures set aside for it so I can start scrapping first thing! 

Thanks for stopping by today and seeing what I'm up to in my little corner of the world. Off you go to Vikki's instagram if you get lost along the way the blog list is below.
