CKC - June 2026 Kit Reveal - Summer Vibes

Good morning! Happy June! Welcome back to my blog, still busy busy busy lately with work so not got to enjoy the weather as much as I would have liked last month. It's the 1st so that means it's a new month and a new kit to counterfeit. You'll find the hop list at the end of the post :) We have 2 new forgers so please check them out and give them some love too! Our guest forger this month is Lisa Cuneo, she is one of our regular CKC players from our Facebook group.

Master Forger Ryann has decided on a very colorful it for June, perfect for the start of Summer!  

Let's kick off the month with our inspiration... the Color Me Happy kit. This kit includes such a wide range of colors that you can draw inspiration from nearly any part of the spectrum.

This hybrid kit is filled with a variety of elements designed to inspire your creativity and spark your own unique ideas.  Whether you use stamps, ink pads, or even some scrap ribbon from your stash, I think you can find something fun to counterfeit this month!
 Let's take a look.

Here is my kit for June:

Summer Vibes' 

I was drawn to some older 49 & Market collections from the inspiration. I really thought I would go with one of the newer collections but when I took a second look I thought these would be great too. So I'm combining Alena, Kaleidoscope and Inkwell collections to make up my Summer Vibes kit. 

The papers I choose to play with, not sure of the pictures yet with all those blues a recent bus trip to Niagara Falls might just work! 

I brought in the yellows with the project life cards. 

Closeup of some of the fun embellishments I brought in too. 

Lots of goodness in this picture too. 

 

That's it that's my kit for this month :) I'm looking forward to playing with the kit and this month is Christy's Beautiful life 30 days of sketches series 22!

Don't Forget Happy Day LO for a Sketch n Scrap challenge

 Good morning and welcome to my blog. Happy May and Happy National Scrapbook Day! It's our holiday and I plan to enjoy it scrapbooking! So lets start off the month with a special sketch for today from Sketch n Scrap blog 

I had fun creating just an everyday layout with this sketch I used a cutfile for the heart and had some fun stenciling too.

This microwave became an addition to the apartment in April 2025 even thought I bought it late 2024, so it sat in the box for a few months before finally getting put out on the counter. The spatula holder has moved since this picture was taken. I used some old Simple Stories 24/7 collection for this.

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 - April 2026 Kit Reveal - Whats Cookin'

 Good morning! Happy May! Welcome back to my blog, busy busy busy lately with work so not got to enjoy the weather as much as I would have liked last month. It's the 1st so that means it's a new month and a new kit to counterfeit. You'll find the hop list at the end of the post :) 

 Let's kick off the month with our inspiration... the Echo Park Mom's Kitchen collection. While this kit has a very specific theme as always we encourage you to make it your own. 

Misty is our host this month and this is what she says about her choice: There is a story behind this kit choice! I chose this kit as nod to Thanksgiving when I was supposed to host in November. However, schedules changed and I swapped for May hosting. I decided this kit could still work with bolder colors heading toward summer. Plus with Mother's Day in May the title of Mom's Kitchen felt just right. So glad it worked out.
 Let's take a look.

Here is my kit for May:

What's Cookin' 

Here are the papers

That's it that's my kit for this month :)
