So, I am sad to tell you that this will be our last Counterfeit Kit. The Design Team has voted me out and would like to take over the blog. I can't have that, so I am going to copyright the concept and not let anyone ever use it again. Ever. In their whole lives. Ever. LOL Okay, I am the worlds WORST joker. I always smile or giggle partway through.
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!
We have a bit of fun planned for you this month! Especially today! The tricks will keep on coming in the form of a contest!
When you do our blog hop, each blog member will list 3 things about themselves. Two of the facts are true...one is false...can YOU guess which "fact" is a trick?
How to play:
1. At each blog, guess which "fact" is wrong...post a comment on that blog with your guess and you will get one entry for the contest.
2. Each blog that you comment on with a guess (for that blog) will earn you additional entries!
3. You have until April 16th to enter.
4. The winner (and answers) will be announced right here on April 18th! (And yes, friends outside the U.S. are welcome to play along!)
Hmmm...I think we should have a bit of a prize, don't you think? I made a 6x6 kit from my own stash just waiting for a new home! Good luck each of you!
Now are we ready to jump into our April Kit! We will be having some fun with CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration this month! I adore their blog! Such a clever idea!
Let's try our hand at Case File #112.
If you have never played along with CSI before, here is how it works. The Scene is an inspirational photo that we will be basing a kit from. The scheme is the colors we have to work with for our kit papers and the evidence helps us get some ideas for types of embellishments (and even paper designs). If you are needing scrappy inspiration, you can use the Testimony section to help you get some topics for scrapping. Fun, right?
We have a lovely Guest Designer for the month...say hello to Maggie!

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.

Lol! You even had me fooled there for a second!
ReplyDeleteFabulous inspiration, thanks ! Honestly, you fooled me and I was so disappointed because I wanted to play again, lol !
ReplyDeleteMy tummy did a flip too! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou got me, too!
ReplyDeleteWow you got me, my heart just about sunk when I read that first line :) Well this month looks like a real fun time gathering the kit, never done case files so this is new :) Thank goodness for the wonderful design team to help with ideas :) I do like the color pallet, so ready for spring colors and we are now seeing the green around here on the ground :)
ReplyDeleteI gulped! Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat interpretation of our "case" and loads of fun facts :-)
My heart just sunk! You definitely had me fooled, but so happy I was! I am back after busy winter at ranch and various other functions attended relating to cattle. One more function in a couple of weeks and we think about settling in for the lazy days of summer at ranch! Great inspiration and off to hop!
ReplyDeleteMy heart sunk too, right up to the April Fools statement - phew!!! Yay a kit with no pink - thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect match! CKC plus CSI! and with one of my most fav palette too. I'm so tempt to join you, gals!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of using a CSI File as inspiration! So clever!
ReplyDeleteThat's not very nice! LOL I was sad about missing out on playing last month and was looking forward to counterfeiting this month! Glad to hear it was just a joke! LOL
ReplyDeleteWell, that was a bit tricksy starting off your post that way. I love CSI. Great challenges over there. This challenge is a cool one too.
ReplyDeleteWell that was fun! Only just got the chance to finish the hop, so have some catching up to do now. It was really hard to guess the fake facts - can't wait to see what the answers were :o)
