Been Caught Stealing: June 2012 Guest Designer!!!


We are proud to announce a newbie to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog, this month's Guest Designer, Ali!!!

'Hi my name is Ali Parris and I can not tell you how thrilled I was to be invited to be the GD for this month!! I only recently found you but I am planning on sticking around for a long time to come :0)
I am a stay at home Grandma :0) I gave up work 3 years ago to help look after the apple of my eye and scrapbooking muse!! I dabbled with paper crafting for a few years (mainly cards) until I gave up work and by then scrapbooking had started to come to our shores. From my first layout I was hooked!! I went from a small box of supplies to a cabinet and finally my very own room (yay!) I am a neat freak so everything has to be in it's place and I have spent many happy hours with a label maker :0) I have just reorganised all my supplies into ROYBGIV and with my new found blog of choice (CKCB of course!) I have discovered a new love for many old things. Thank you so much for having me here to play this month, I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else does with this inspirational kit idea :0)'

Susanne has put together a lovely kit for us to finish out the month!

And here is a sneak peek of the cards she is busy making from her kit!


I love the "fussy cut" flower and the button for the dot on the "i".  Very fun details!

A Sweet Little Project Idea


I love all of the lovely sunshine and growing things!  Now, if you looked at my yard, you would not know that.  LOL  My thumb is very UNgreen, so our yard is more minimal.  I can grow grass, however!

Take a look at this adorable project that Jessica Witty made!


Who wouldn't love to get some Rice Crispy Treat Pops in this fantastic display?  Head over to Witticisms to see exactly how she made this!
