Guest Designing for Counterfeit Kit Challenge!




I admit it: the Counterfeit Kit Challenge is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE challenge blog. They're not trying to sell product, not trying to get you to subscribe to anything...it's just a group of FUN, AMAZING SCRAPPERS who love to share their creativity and inspire others.

So, I'm over-the-moon excited to share that I am guest designing for them for the month of August!

The entire design team is ready today to share their versions of our August inspiration kit, Penny Arcade by Studio Calico.  Today's blog hop starts on the CKCB blog, so make sure that you start there so you don't miss out on any of the fun!

I loved the Penny Arcade kit, but didn't have any of the original elements this month. So, I decided to make a list of what I noticed (along with my favorite elements) in this kit and its add-ons. I came up with clouds, cameras, feathers, carnival fonts, metallics, postage stamps, maps, doilies, wood grain, and weather. I then shopped in my stash and came up with these fun supplies:

                                  

                             


                         



                        




     



Here is today's hop order. Please stop by and see the fabulously creative kits these designers have made. Don't forget to leave them some love! :)

Great approach to keep it simple to do and true to your own style. Your list reminded me I have some "carnival font." In silver, no less!

I love CKC blog too. I haven't played along in months though. This month I was planning on it. And HA! I actually have Penny Arcade in my stash. I've used some of it so will have to shop my stash to make up for anything I've used,and of course the add-ons which I didn't get that month at Studio Calico!

I love your version of the kit!! Have fun counterfeiting this month!
