Love that face! Lily's such a sweetie and to see this memory from 2 years ago is so cool.

CKC - October Kit Reveal - Naturally Cool

 Good Morning and welcome to my little corner of the world :) Hey it's the 1st day of October and that means it's time for a new inspirational kit over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog and this month our host is Master Forger Tracey. Welcome to Machelle Willing as the Guest Design Team Member for October. So here we go! We're gonna try something different this month :) a new kit collection that is on the horizon by my favorite Scrapper Shimelle Laine: The kit she has chosen is September’s edition of The Best of Both Worlds by Shimelle Laine. Super fun idea for putting a kit together :)  If you want more of an explanation on how The Best of Both Worlds Kit works pop on over to Shimelle’s blog to see how she does it.

* Image of Kit put together by Siri Astrid Reenskaug Fjortoft.

So I had fun choosing papers from what she had in here choices in her kit. My kit is called

Naturally Cool!

My kit includes the supplies to do some mixed media including 2 stencils, 2 mists, texture paste and an ink pad. Got some white alphas, lots of stickers with the sheets and the sticker book has lots of labels in it for that label sheet in the kit :) Got one die cuts pack and 2 enamels packs that match the blue/teal I'm using in my ink and mists.

My papers that are in the kit, I tried to stay with some of the colors in her kit and some of the cut apart cards that he had going on too. I had the Never Grow Up paper pad so I pulled the tree paper from that is just a bit different than what she has pull from the collection. There is 30 papers in her kit and I have 23, just enough for me as I got a bit left over from last month to play with too. 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll join us and create your own version of this inspiration. Now off you go and see what Tracey has curated on her blog

Now for the monthly blog list and the reveal enjoy hopping around and seeing what everyone has been inspired by the kit :)

African Savanna LO for the CKC Challenge #2 - Tic Tac Toe

Good Morning and welcome to the 2nd challenge of this month over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog. Our host this month Master Forger Cindy challenge us to a Tic Tac Toe challenge:

With a wide variety of elements in out kits, everything from animals to pencils, hot dogs to insects, hearts to zebras it may be a bit daunting to  figure out where to start,  I made a Tic Tac Toe grid to get you going. I pulled items from each of the kits and the categories are listed with a few ideas following. Pick your row and tell us what you are using. 

I chose to the diagonal from the top left to the bottom right. Pulling elements for the double page layout from a visit at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo from our Cleveland Trip in 2018

 It was fun to finally get started on the Zoo portion of our trip, this was our 1st stop and wit my Nature part of my CKC Summer's End and the washi tape that I have been using throughout the album I made this fun 2 page layout. 

Thanks for stopping by today and seeing what I've been creating in my scrappy corner of the world and I look forward to seeing the row you choose to create with :)

I added an extra photo to my layout :) The last set of pictures from that day the girls were at Chuck E Cheese. Emily sure was having fun. I use my counterfeit kit from last month: Sparkle in Purple for the layout to keep it cohesive with the other layouts. I had fun finding bits and pieces to add to the embellishments
