| Not in the kit - just playing! |
This month's kit-to-copy comes from Front Porch Kits - a brand new kit club from The Little Blue House in Texas. The kit sold out before the end of the live Ustream launch on March 18th so the only way to get it now, is to counterfeit it ... which is what we fans of the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog like to do right?! If you want to get stuck in straight away, the full kit list is here, but do check out the CKCB for the examples of forgery, handy tutorials and other inspirational ideas.
I loved the fresh colours and large doses of teal and chipboard in this kit, but (why is there always a but?) I don't really do birdies on my pagies so I've substituted some hearts and butterflies ... Who am I kidding? I don't really do hearts either, but I have lots so I'm trying to use some up!
Cardstock:
1½ kraft, 2 AC vanilla, 1 AC black, 2 green, 2 red, 2 blue, 1 yellow Bazzil Dotted Swiss

Wow you have put together a super kit, I'm still struggling with mine.
I've just seen your title *groan* :D
Hi ya it's jakesmum ( airing cupboard crafts) I am signed in from my Stampin Up blog though if you are looking for the butterfly I can get hold of it for you x
Love the kit it's so bright and funky your papers are gorgeous. I look forward to keep coming back and seeing what you have done x
Great papers and fun stuff in your kit - enjoy!
I love your kit-bright and pretty! I have a question-How do you do your blog posts to make your photos show up so large?Is it the template you use?Thanks!
I'm still struggling with mine too - this is a hard one!
But you have made a fabulous job of it - it's fresh and bright and I can see you getting a lot of things done with what you have chosen.
a lovely pretty take on the kit. Do bright!
I love your kit - the colours and the pretty trims are perfect!
Jemma, I figured it out!!! Thank you sooo much-the bigger photos just look so much better! I also had to change my setting to the updated editor-thank you for sending me in the right direction, your instructions really helped me out!
Margie, your colors are so AWEsome!!! Teally cool! xoxo :) :) ;) xoxo
Oops, sorry Jemma, forgot whose blog I was on. xoxo
I love the butterfly and the old bicycle papers in your kit! Awesome job!
Love that paper with the bicycle! You are very clever at putting such pretty things together.
I think the butterflies are a perfect substitution for the birds! Love all your bright papers!
love the papers that you've put together...
Gorgeous kit; looking forward to seeing what you make with it. Love the sounds of the counterfeit thingie, I might just have to give it a try sometime! Sue
great paper and trim combo can't wait to see your completed pages
i love this - i love the mix of colours you have brought in and the bright kit will be a joy to use! i love hearts so I might follow your heart (don't have many birds - not that I don't love them too). I love the papers you have used and the front one with the banner is great. can't wait for the rest of the month!
What a lovely kit - and what a lovely take on it! Love the colours! :-)
Thanks for the comment on my Beer Mat book. :) I know this is odd, but I don't own a hole punch, which is why I have to stab the things with a compass!
I have a bunch of craft punches, can easily make a flower, or a scallop, but when it comes to regular hole punched holes in paper... I can't do it.
I think a trip to Staples is in order! ;)
Bank statements need hole punching?! Where have I been going wrong?! :) Mine all live in file folders in a cupboard.
Maybe I'll buy a Big Bite for myself and a hole punch for my DH, who is also curious as to why anyone would need to punch holes in anything. :)
I sure like your version of the challenge :) and look forward to seeing what you make with it!
