CKC - August 2025 Kit Reveal -

Hello and welcome to my blog, it's the 1st of August 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 Tara's blog. I'm looking forward to checking out her kit. But first I would like to welcome our guest Master Forger this month, Nadine Michelle from Paper Route Scrapbooking.. So onto the kit!

Laurie is our host this month and has chosen Farmhouse Summer by Carta Bella, which captures the heart of country living with a homey palette and timeless design motifs. It's the perfect blend of rustic charm and fresh summer energy. 

Here are a few more photos of this collection.

 

 Love the country vibe going on and when I saw the windmill I knew my kit would start with my last collection I got from CTMH before they closed up shop, The Good Life and makes the perfect name for the kit too. Here is my kit for August:

The Good Life

I will be scrapping my pictures from my Windcreek Market bus trip that also had a boat ride at Seneca lake. That windmill captured my kit well with cutfiles, paper and stamps to do some forgeries too. Lots of 49&Market Krafty Garden in this kit has that country vibe too. Put in a neutral cardstock paper pad to try to finish that up too.

My papers came from a few places in my stash. The CTMH paper, 49&Market Krafty Garden, The Stamperia Vintage Library paper pad has the blues and reds from the kit. Grabbed a few from my plaids paper pad, a mixed media background I made had some similiar colors and papers from a Farmhouse paper pad. 

August is all about 31 days of cutfiles too and if that package of cutfile wasn't enough I added an old monthly kit of cutfiles to the kit because it had the same feel as the kit. 

Close up of the Krafty Garden elements that I brought in the kit for embellishing. 

Washi tape and the stamp and die set that came with the CTMH paper collection that I will be making forgeries with, time to get some ink on those stamps. 

I brought in this one kit from Not Just for Boys the page kit has that blue plaid perfect for this kit and the diecuts are perfect for some of the street art I seen in Watkins Glen for the boat ride.

This chipboard pack is a perfect match to this kit, a recent purchase at the crop I was at in July caught my eye for some crop photos from March that I need to scrap.

That's it, that's my kit for August and I'm looking forward to playing with it. Now off you go and check out what Vikki has put together you can catch her over on her Instagram. The list is below if you want to check out what the other master forgers are doing.
