CKC - February 2026 Kit Reveal - A Few Ideas

Welcome to my blog and to a cold February! It's the 1st and that means it's time for new inspiration and a new kit for Counterfeit Kit Challenge kit. This is the challenge for 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 Guest Forgeer is Kathy Price, I follow her on youtube and she's got fun ways and fun challenges when it comes to creating layouts. Be sure to follow her on Instagram and YouTube!

So Master Forger Amanda is hosting the blog for the month of February! This is what she says: I hope that you are refreshed and ready to tackle some more challenges and you play along with us on Facebook!  This month's inspiration kit is from The Scrap Room's Flavor of the Month from January 2024.  This kit features Carta Bella'a At Home, PhotoPlay's Bro's Amazing, Simple Stories' Winter Wonderland and Vicki Boutin's Discover + Create. 

To add a little more embellishment to play with - I decided to include the embellishment kit too! 

So this was interesting to pull together having 4 small kits for various things. I used collections that I'm almost out of so I can make room for more :) One collection I did have so that was fun to bring that in. 

Here is my kit for February:

A Few Ideas

So 4 smaller kits to make on huge kit and with them all being different themes gives you fun options of what you want to scrap. 

1st is the Winter kit I grabbed my winter pile and easily put this quick kit together. With us recently having a huge snow storm it won't take long to use this one up. 

Family kit is next grabbing the Simple Stories Simple Life collection for this and the perfect paper for some of my Son's wedding pictures to be scrapped. 

Next is 2 collections to make us this gaming kit. A CTMH collection with not much left to it and the Simple Stories Bro&CO collection that has some similarities that will mash well together. 

and the Vicki Boutin Discover and Create collection which I have and still have lots of so I see me creating with this one the most but should still be a fun month creating with all the little kits. 

A nice stack of scrappy goodness for the month :)

40 in 2026 LO for a Counterfeit Kit Challenge

 Good Morning and welcome to my blog, we've got winter showing up huge this week with the coldest temps we have seen and felt so far. I was actually enjoying the milder weather. Today is challenge 2 over at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog, our host Vikki has asked us to:

Since it's the beginning of a new year, it's the perfect time to set goals for yourself.  Do you set scrapbook related goals - maybe you keep track of how many pages you complete each year, or how many paper collections you want to use up.  Do you have a goal of how many books you will read this year?  Whatever the goal, today's challenge is to document one, or all, of them. 

 I had already did my scrappy goals layout for 2026 that's usually the 1st layout I do at the beginning of the year so I decided to do: 

I used this sketch from the Scrappy Square 31 days of sketches this month: 

It made it fast and easy to get this layout done. So this year I'm trying something new as I always have my scrappy goals, but now that I'm reading more I decided to make a reading goal in 2026. Since I got my kindle during the black Friday sales I've been reading every night. So a reading goal would be a good one to take on this year :) Using my current kit plus some themed wood veneer from Some Assemblage Required for this fun layout. 

Thank you for stopping by today and seeing what I'm up to in my little corner of the world. I hope you join us over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog for this fun challenge.   

Grateful for Something Positive LO for Sketch N Scrap challenge

Good morning and welcome to my blog. Its been cold, cold, cold! here in PA. Can't believe it's halfway through January already this month just flew by! Today is another throw back sketch over at Sketch and Scrap blog. I chose to do sketch #300 from July 2024 for my layout inspiration. I added an extra photo to the sketch: 

This is the layout I created with it: 

We hadn't seen the sun in 12 days it was great to see a gloomy morning become a sunny day. Using my current counterfeit kit for my papers and embellishments and added the sun that came in one of the wood veneer packs fro 2025 SAR advent calendar. Added the extra photo in the top cluster.
