I am digging this photo. While they are predicting more snow and freezing temperatures, I am going to pretend I am going around on that Ferris Wheel…care to join me? I don't mind the cold so much, but I am seriously ready for some SUNSHINE!
In order to distract myself from the Arctic Vortex that will be coming for one last round, let's take a look at this month's kit.
March's Counterfeit Kit:
Coco Daisy has a great kit for February called Color Swatch. The name alone makes me all happy.
Here is the main kit, but PLEASE take a peek at the site…SO many more choices for you to Counterfeit this month! (You can find all of the add on choices HERE.)
Give a warm welcome to our Guest Designer for this month: Elaine!
'Hi.. I'm Elaine... firstly may I say how thrilled I am to have been asked to be your guest designer this month... I hope I won't disappoint!
I am a busy wife and mother and Part Time Estate Agent in Kent, UK. I have been married to my wonderful husband Mark for 34 years and I have two adult sons who no longer live at home. I also have three dogs who keep me busy and active... and give me lots of opportunities to scrap! I also open my home for bed and breakfast guests on occasion.
My passion for Scrapbooking has been growing since I began this absorbing hobby three years ago and I can safely say I am addicted. I am also just starting to dabble in art journals.
In scrapbooking and life in general I am know to be very speedy and I think nothing of creating many layouts in one day if the opportunity arises. My nickname has always been 100mph Elaine.. and I have to say I do understand why.. it's just the way I am! Making LO's has become a way of life for me and you will often find me tucked away in my craft room whiling away the hours while my dear husband is on duty as a Firefighter.
We are so happy to have Elaine with us this month. Make sure you stroll around her blog and see her wonderful projects!
I cannot wait to see the kits our team has put together for this month to inspire you! (And yes, I am always just as surprised as you are…they generally don't give me a sneak peek.) To do our hop, just click on Elaine's link to see her kit. She will have a link to the next blog and so on until you get to our Fabulous Stephanie! Have fun and don't forget to leave comments for my "girls". :) We get paid in love around here.

End of the Month Blog Hop:
On the 24th of each month we offer a blog hop opportunity to all of our followers! A chance for you to show off a special project made with your counterfeit kit for that month.
Here is how it will work:
Your Blog Hop Project may be from any of the 3 challenges we offer throughout the month.
Your project must be something new that you have not shown before and only post for the hop.
To be a part of our blog hop:
1. E-mail us your name/blog address/promise to participate at counterfeitkitchallenge@yahoo.com BY THE 18th! (No late requests will be able to join this time due to the work it takes for us to get it put together.)
2. You will receive an e-mail from us by the 20th with a list of the hop participants.
3. You will need to schedule your own blog post showing your project based on this challenge and links to the person after you in the hop.
4. All Blog Hop posts will need to be scheduled to go live on the 24th at 12:00 A.M. Mountain Standard Time (Arizona)
I've just completed the hop and gorgeous takes on it girls! Welcome Elaine!
