October Counterfeit kit

This month I joined (again) to the challenge at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog, which had Studio Calico's 'Summer of '69 kit' as inspiration:



With the color scheme and patterns in mind, along with some of the embellishments, I decided that it's time to finally use some of the oldest items in my stash.
Yes, like most of us, I'm an addicted hoarder! So I took a decision that all the papers that I will include in my counterfeited kit, as well as some of the embellishments - will be at least 6 years old!
Here's the full kit:

Papers:

It has Fancy Pants, DCWV, My Mind's Eye, Echo Park, Carta Bella, Studio Calico, October Afternoon and Glitz. The only exception are 2 pp by Mintay Papers, but all the papers are 2013 and even before!
As for the mbellishments, again, a mixture of oldies with some new ones. Lots of enamel dots, in many colors, as I wanted all the colors that match my papers, doilies, DIY embellies ('chipboard' banners and buttons, large and small tabs, pp circles, 3D 'stickers', pp hexagons), washi tapes, stickers and alphas. I also added some embellishments from September countefeit kit, hoping to use them this month.
Finally, I also gathered some scraps of pp, with coordinating colors. It's time to destash the scraps box too:
And here're some close-ups on the counterfeited embellishments - I'm really proud of them:



I already have the 1st project to share with you, using this kit, in my next post.

Snow Much Fun - case file no. 272 at CSI

This is my DT layout for case file 272 at CSI.
This is the inspiration photo:
I used all 5 colors or the scheme. The clues I've used are: plaid, stripes, dots, distressed patterns, leaves and mist/splatters.
I documented something about winter - my kids having lots of fun jumping in the snow.
Here're some close-ups on the details:

A handsome guy - Scrap The Boys

Honourable mention at Scrap The Boys

Scrap The boys blog has a wonderful moodboard for this month:
The minute I saw it, I knew I wanted to play along. The mix of blue and green is just fab.
I used lots of scraps for this one - Basic Grey, Echo Park, 7 Dots Studio, K & Co., Crate Paper.
For the background I used mostly 13@rts mediums, plus stamps from Prima, 7 Dots Studio and Blue Fern Studio. I also use TCW stencils and TH distress ink.
I really love the messy background, and the colors go perfectly with my boy's photo.
Here are some close-ups on the details:
