Hello and welcome to my blog, it's the 1st of July and that means it's time for a new inspirational kit for us to counterfeit and make our own for the month. Counterfeit Kit Challenge kit 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. I'm looking forward to checking out her kit. But first I would like to welcome our guest Master Forger this month, Kate Blue, a former master forger, I know she's gonna have an awesome kit, we can all check it out over at her Instagram. So onto the kit!
Julene is our host this month she thought we could try something different.
FLASHBACK MONTH
Instead of choosing a current kit to scrapbook I've gone back into the archives and chosen July 2014's kit to look at again. The kit was from Noel Mignon and named Balboa.
How we approached it back in July 2014 and how YOU forge it now could be different.
Maybe it's time to go through your old papers.
What a great idea! I checked back on my blog for what I put together that month, you can check it out here if you like. I definitely had a different vibe to that one more blues than the kit I put together this time.Here is my kit for July:
A Blast from the Past
The reds, the teals and yellow with the black chalkboard stuff that was so popular back then and is now coming back made for a cool color scheme to work with. I went to my color drawers as I know my older stash is there. Lots of chipboard, found some chalkboard style with the PL cards and the chipboard from Vicki Boutin's Printshop collection also grab some Fernwood collection embellishments for the butterflies. The papers: Founds some cardstock in the drawers and lots of older paper too which will be fun to use with some current paper from a warehouse box I got a couple of month's ago and get that used too. Lot of geometrics back then: dots, stripes and then the florals. I added a 6x6 paper pad too plus the end of NJFB kit that had the colors that would bring in some newer paper too.From Vicki Boutin's Fernwood collection the chipboard, the flat stickers and sticker book as I don't have much paper left thought this would work well with this collection. Chipboard pieces and I found some speech bubbles too! Wood veneer, ribbon, washi tape and a fabric flower also some glitter markers that I want to try out and use on the chipboard. Enamel dots, sequins and gems. Grabbed a cutfile that were triangles as one of the papers in the kit was triangles, also grabbed a red alpha like the kit. I knew I had chalkboard PL cards, didn't realized I had a whole pack of them so brought those into the kit too! Would like to tackle quite a few of this cards throughout the month of July. So that is my kit. Should be fun to play with, I'll decide photos that I want to scrap with it during the 1st week of the month as I'm up early for the challenge this month with the 1st one on the 12th. See you then! Now off you go and check out what Brandi Jo put together you can catch her over on her Instagram.
