September 2012 Inspiration Kit

The September 2012 Inspiration Kit is the August kit put together by Birds of a Feather.  Their August 2012 kit contains some pretty patterned paper and a nice assortment of perfectly paired embellishments.  You can view a photo of the kit and the contents on their web site at Birds of a Feather August 2012 Kit  .   We hope you will enjoy creating your Counterfeit Kit based on this inspiration.

As a little added bonus this month, each of our Master Forgers have created 3 counterfeit embellishments, drawn from inspiration from this summer's CHA new releases!  I am SOOOO looking forward to see what they have all come up with. Come back tomorrow for the CKCB Master Forger blog hop where they all reveal their designs!

What's the next step???

The CHALLENGE is to use this kit for inspiration. How, you ask? Well, there are many ways to go about this. Here are a few ideas... 

• Try and match every piece in the kit as close as possible to something from your supply stash.
• Use the "kit contents" as inspiration, and recreate your own kit with the same types of supplies, but in a different color or style that corresponds better with your preferences/photographs/scrapbook style/tastes.
• Make an even smaller "page kit" or "card kit"..."counterfeiting" just a few items from this month's kit as inspiration.
• Using the color scheme from the kits as inspiration, try to re-create a kit of your own using whatever supplies you have available.

What's to come?...

• Tomorrow we will post pictures of the inspired Counterfeit Kits we put together from our stash of supplies. The link for you to share pictures of your Counterfeit Kits with each other is here.
• Over the next week, we will add links to tutorials for counterfeiting many of the embellishments in this month's inspiration Kit's.
• Over the next month, we will post mini challenges to USE your new kit, as well as organize a blog hop to share your creations!
• We hope you all find some inspiration in the kit club we choose this month!!! If you aren't sure where to begin, check out the "Hints and Tips" page of our blog for some help. Feel free to leave a comment, questions, or any suggestions!!! We look forward to hearing from you.
