A Beautiful Day LO for a Sketch n Scrap challenge

 Good Morning and welcome to my blog. We are currently in a heatwave and I've been loving it when I can get out in it, work has been crazy busy too! Today is another throw back sketch over at Sketch and Scrap blog. I chose to do sketch #179 for my layout inspiration. 

Isn't this a cool sketch! I love that it has that one focal embellishment and that had me thinking a cutfile would be perfect. So playing along with Cutfile Craze today too. 
I used my current Counterfeit kit for the background paper and scraps from my 100 pattern paper challenge for the rest playing along with week 21 challenge there too. A fall foliage Riverboat ride. The foliage is just starting to come into color. 

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 - 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! 

Here is the inspiration hop lineup:
