If you click on the links, you find that Christie created 3 versions of each sheet - plain, bordered and colored border. I think her sheets are super pages to add to a scrapbook, an art journal, a Project Life album or just printed and used within your own journal/diary.
As well as showing off our inspiration projects, we all really hope that our journaling project help you, our readers, get to know us a bit better. The journaling prompts allowed us to think about silly things, serious things, memorable things, and things that we're just happy to share with all of you.
So without further ado, here is a hop order for today's project:
Good morning. Today I am here to share some awesome Forgers that have been playing along with us this month. This month the whole DT had a say in this and let me tell you they picked some TALENT and INSPIRATION! We truly appreciate everyone playing along with us. So without further ado here you go:
It is HOP time! I can't wait to see the projects from our Journaling Only Challenge: Why You LOVE......
Here is a complete list of the order of the hop. Click on the first link...oooh and ahhhh...leave some kind words and follow their link to the next project! Then start thinking about how much YOU want to participate with us next month!
Challenge #3: Scarf Challenge...find a picture of a scarf and use it to inspire your project...the color...the texture...the pattern... Make sure to show us a picture of your inspiration as well as your project.
Good morning forgers! I hope this month has you creating lots of yummy goodies. Today I am here to share some ideas for using the PACKAGING of some scrapbook products. I don't know about you but I need to STRETCH my $$$ as far as possible in these times. So here we go.
I have to appologize! I have my Step by Step half way finished, but my computer crashed and then I became sick, so I was not able to complete it. The good news is I now am the proud owner of a MAC (now for this PC girl to figure it out). I did not want to leave you unispired though.
Here is a wonderful Scrapbook Process Video by Mercytiera. She is my go-to for scrapbook inspiration. I just LOVE her!
Make sure to stop by her blog to give her some love: Mercy Tiara and check out more of her videos on You Tube.
If you want in on our end of the month Blog Hop, please e-mail us at counterfeitkitchallenge@yahoo.com ASAP! We are compiling our list and would love to include you!
Hexagons are a hot trend right now and it is easier than ever to add them to your projects! Embossing folders, punches, die cut machines, masks, even hand cutting them yourself. There are a lot of ways to get creative with Hexagons.
You can make up any number of them and put them into little themed bags ready to be used in one of your kits. How cute would that be?
And how about a little contest? I will send a mixture of homemade die cuts (using the above resources) to one of our followers! How can you enter? Just comment on this post (once per person please) and I will draw a name and share the winner at our Counterfeit Blog Hop on the 25th!
Didn't you just love the little bags and arrows in our kit this month? And they are SO simple to recreate with materials you already have on hand! Our awesome Master Forger Angela has some free tutorials up on her pretty blog HERE. I also found a few more so here you go ENJOY!
Make DOTTED DIGITAL arrows (you could also do this with paper using a pencil tip eraser dipped in ink for the dots and then a triangle two side of a stamp for the arrow portion)
For the bags you can easily recreate these using stamps, decorative scissors (you know you have them laying around, you do don't you? Or it's just me? OOPS LOL!), and/or by altering small kraft/white etc bags from Michaels etc. Our own Jennifer and Angela have made tutorials for us on making some bags! (Click on their names to go to their blogs.) They are super cute to tuck hidden journaling in, tags in, house your title etc. How else would/have you used them?
Good morning! How much did you just LOVE the kit for this month? I loved it! Today I am here to share the first challenge of this month and it may very well STUMP you! This is the one that all you wonderful followers will use to participate in for the blog hop at the end of the month!
So are you ready? Are you sure?????
Ok here you go today's challenge is to complete a page/project about WHY YOU LOVE _____ BUT you may NOT include ANY photos, JUST journaling! Sneaky huh?
