WOW - 2013 has gone and here is 2014 already.It's already time for a new set of New Year's Resolutions ... have you made any? I'm determined to be a more consistent blogger and scrap more and what better way to start than by putting together a new kit to join in with the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog.
Today the Master Forgers are all sharing their takes on this month's kits-to-copy which come from the Hip Kit Club's December offering along with Freckled Fawn's OhDeerMe December embellishment kit. Our guest designer Tara is starting us off, and I'm third in line after Angela.
Slightly too festive and wintery for my current photos, so I had to get creative ... I looked for inspiration starting with the lovely teal & yellow stripes and teal & white snowflakes. Having found a set of four double-sided papers from Crate Paper that have been languishing far too long in my stash I added some extra papers, assorted alphas, some tags, washi, buttons, made my own stars on wires and my kit was complete:
 |
| Revserse Patterns |
Downstream, Wild Flowers, Floral and Branch from Crate Paper's Brook Collection
Kraft Vie by 7gypsies
Simple Stories 24 Seven's Good Stuff (6x6)
Howdy from Studio Calico's Snippets collection (6x6)
Thickers Ash & Daiquiri alphas
Simple Stories Sn@p! Stickers
Various buttons from my stash
Websters Pages washi
Queen & Co washi
Spiral paperclips from Asda (Walmart)
Counterfeited Jenni Bowlin tags (tutorial here)
Counterfeited stars - just coloured wires glued to the back of some plastic stars (I made a loop to hold enough liquid glue to adhere properly and that way if it shows through to the front it's quite pretty still).
I'll add cardstock as and when I need it.
Now it's time to hop over to see what Julene has for you. If you want to visit all the Master Forgers or you want to know more about kit counterfeiting pop over to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog today.

ReplyDeleteLooks good Jemma - and you are forgiven for forgoing the pink! I recognize several of those papers from my own stash - I'll be watching to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteAwesome way to make it your own - I mean, the point IS to use our stash up, after all! Your stars on a wire forgery is very whimsical & lovely and should go with your paper selections beautifully. Happy scrapping in this fresh New Year :~)

You know how much I love pink but your kits are always SO appealing to me even without it :-) I had those Crate papers too in a really old Scrapagogo kit and it was one of my favourite kits at that time so I'm really looking forward to seeing what you make. The combination of the yellows, browns and teals is so great!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting color palette you have created. The lime green, navy, yellow and browns are gorgeous. Great job making your papers work for you.
ReplyDeleteLoving the colours in your kit and the little stars are lovely.
ReplyDeleteAwesome kit! it remined me of a forest walk :). I love your counterfeited stars.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
