Felicitations!

It's that time of the month again ... kit reveal ... with the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog. Which of course means a hop around the Master Forgers.  This month we started with our Guest Designer, Nicole, and you should have reached me from Susanne.

This month the kit-to-copy, Felicity Jane's August Kit, called "Maggie", was a beautiful combo of orange and blue, black and white, stripes, plaid and florals ...

Markch Counterfeit Kit - Jimjams

Last month's kit featured pastel blue,so when I spotted a combination of orange and green stripes in my stash, I decided to go off at a slight tangent.  For some reason all my stripes are diagonals!

Now, I actually bought this kit (I'm drawn to FJ because of their florals I can cut out) but it hasn't arrived yet, so I'm going to be interested to hop along and see everyone's interpretation of it

I like that you wandered away a bit from the inspiration but I can still see it's influence in your kit. I like those black and white brads - definitely a very Felicity Jane touch.

I love that you used paper from 2004!! Awesome! And that diagonal stripe is so pretty- Love seeing how everyone is making this kit their own style!

Tara O said...

Wow. Your kit is lovely and will be so much fun to play with!!

Julene Matthews said...

A definite twist but very workable. Love all you have chosen.

Lisa said...

I love that diagonal stripe that appears to have been your jumping off point. Really like the colours you've picked out - similar to the original but of course a Jim Jam kit!

Roxy said...

I love your journaling cards and tags, this kit looks like it will be fun to scrap with - can't wait to see what you come up with!

A great combination of papers and plenty to keep you busy in the way of extras for your pages. Nice take on the inspo.

Kelly Sroka said...

Love the kit! My favorite is definitely the plaid paper.

Susanne said...

Oh very nice, I like that you have a wider color range to your kit. Enjoy!

Diagonal stripes are always so lively on the page - looking forward to spotting these in the month ahead. I like your little black and white brads/buttons.

Really, really, REALLY love those b/w brads that bring in a signature of the FJ kit vibe. Felicitations is the per-fect name for your kit!

Fun change from the original kit and I chuckled a bit when I saw the Keep Calm card in your kit, I have that same card in my kit too :)
