April's Identikit

Welcome to the April Counterfeit Kit Blog Hop - if you arrived here from Julene via our guest designer Maggie, then you'll know that we're shaking things up this month by creating from a different perspective: using Case File #112 from the Colour Stories Inspiration Blog to form Counterfeit Kits Identikits!

April Counterfeit Kit Inspiration - CSI Case File #112

The Scheme: I started looking through my papers to see what might match the colours and found a two tone green chevron and some small green florals along with a pastel blue sheet and some scraps of cream, blue & white swirly paper.  Matching mini-alphas should help me with the clues!

The Evidence: Sheer ribbons, a little yellow vellum and some transparent crystal stickers add to the picture along with some flocked puffy alphas and toning buttons.  Frames are provided by a selection of stamps and wooden and paper blooms support the case.

Jimjams - Counterfeit Kit detail - April 2014

There's still some Case File Testimony for use during the month ... which should help me solve the huge pile of photos that I still have to scrap!

Just one more thing before you follow the trail over to Angela ... it won't have escaped your notice that today is All Fools' Day and we decided to see if you could spot some foolish fakery as you collect the evidence from the Master Forgers.  So here are 3 "facts" about me, but one of them is pure fantasy ... can you guess which one?
  1. I had to have rabies injections (in my stomach) following a dog bite in Indonesia when I was 4 years old.  The surgeon was annoyed at being called in off the golf course to come and stitch my right hand back together!

  2. During the final year of my degree I computer-animated a short film featuring Heinz Baked Beans ... the programme was stored on punched cards  and the computer was housed in an air-conditioned room as big as our house.

  3. Hubby and I got to know each other during Ice Skating Lessons in Holland - when he tried to  show me how to do a Back Outside Mohawk - and failed!
Post your answer in the comments of this post before April 16th to be in with a random chance of winning a prize - to be announced on April 18th over on the CKCB.
