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.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate your comments very much.

Made of Scraps - Guest Designer for Counterfeit Kit Challenge - March reveal

Hello dear craft freinds,

I was honored to be invited to be a Guest Designet at Counterfeit Kit Challenge for March. I love the concept of CKC, as it makes me use all the beautiful supplies I hoard.

This month CKC is doing it a little different from their usual way. We don't have a formal kit to counterfiet, and instead we have Susan's kit, that she made according to Jill Sprott's formula.
I took inspiration from Susan's kit and followed Jill's formula very closely. Here's a photo of Susan's inspiration kit:

I named my kit "Made of Scraps", and here are all the phtos and details:

* 8 pieces of pp scraps (Glitz, Simple Stories, My Mind's Eye, Fancy Pants, Echo Park, DCWV).
* 3 (not 4) specialty papers - 1 scrap of vellum paper with gold print, 2 embossed vellum papers (I run vellum papers with embossing folders through the BigShot).
* 2 complete sheets of pp (Simple Stories and Fancy Pants).
* A pre-2015 alphabet set (Echo Park Beautiful Life)

Embellishments:

* 1 sticker sheet, with at least one piece missing (Basic Grey)

* 1 yard of ribbon - green/white baker's twine.

* 1 opned package of scrappy products- Prima's sugar dots.

* 1 unopened package of scrappy products - Love 2 Scrap swirl bling.

* 1 roll of tape - washi tape.

* 1 item or package of product from a company that no longer makes scrappy products - left overs from a 6x6 paper pad by Cosmo Cricket.

* Up to 10 journaling and/or Project Life cards/tags - some of them are from collections plus white and kraft tags I cut with a die.

* 2"wild card" items - the flower strip and the hotair balloon die cut.

* A nearby item - I'm Roses flowers.

I've also added some die-cut clouds, labels, tabs and stars.

Here's the hop order:

Studing - lo

Edit: my lo is featured at The Color Room!

Thank you so much, Larissa!

I've made this lo for the Glitz January challenge, which is this photo for inpiration:

I was inpired by the soft colors - greenish, yellowish and white. I was also inpired by the frosty look, so I added some stickles and glitter on my yellowish flowers.

I was also inpired by #94 color palette at The Color room, also with green, yellow, grey and white:

I used mostly Glitz dp (Vintage Blue collection & Dance in the sunshine collection), that I won at Artful Delight about a month ago (thanks again, Leeanne!). I really love these papers! I also used some scraps I had from older projects and made the big flowers and the greenish leaves.

I laced the dp with yellow baker's twine I got as a New Year's gift from the generous KarenW (thank you so much Karen!). The date is Authentique. the title - My Little Shoebox.

The photo is me, when I was a student, and I studied hard for an exam.
I was inspired by the beautiful creations of some very talented ladies: Gabrielle Pollacco, Lisa Gregory, Ingvild Bolme, Stacy Cohen, Pascale Bernard and Delaina Burns. Thank you, ladies, for so much inspiration!

Here are some close-ups:

דף וינטאג'י נוסף, עם תמונה שלי מתקופת המבחנים באוניברסיטה (במילים אחרות - מתקופת החרשנות...). שכבות, קריעות, יישון, פרחים תוצרת עצמית, שזירת חוט, הרבה עלים גזורים משאריות דפים מדוגמים, גליטר, סטיקלס, פרחים מגולגלים... ושילוב צבעים שלא יוצא לי בדרך כלל לעבוד איתו, ומסתבר שהוא להיט עכשיו בסקראפ העולמי (לפחות חלק מהשילוב - צהוב ואפור).
תודה על תשומת הלב!
