November 2023 – Counterfeit Kit Challenge Reveal and Hop

Master Forger of Ceremonies Lisa here, your Counterfeit Kit Challenge host for the month of November. 

I’m always excited to host November as it’s my favourite month – yes really! There is so much to love about this eleventh month of the year! - and also our last kit of the year which makes it very special. 

(We always change things up in December and offer a different type of inspiration for those busy days before Christmas!) 

And now let’s get started….  

Before we take a look at our inspiration kit I'd like you to meet our Guest Designer - a very dear member of my German scrappy circle of friends and prolific scrapper and mini-booker, Silvia Jorke! She is a creative force to be reckoned with and produces such lovely pages and mini-albums featuring everything which is important in her life – a true memory keeper and a creative inspiration. 

"Hi Counterfeit Kit Community, my name is Silvia. I am 42 years old, and I live and scrapbook in Oberhausen, Germany. 

My scrapbooking life contains of crafting mini albums about sightseeing trips, layouts about friends, family and special events, birthday cards, the quarterly Scrapabilly swaps with my crafty besties and much more. 

In my non-scrapbooking life, I am a mathematician working as Data Scientist, a bunny mum of two fluffy cuties, a space-lover and much more. 

Thanks Lisa for inviting me as November guest designer to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge. I am excited to assemble a kit based on the inspiration and create some good stuff with it this month." 

Welcome Silvia – I’m excited to share this month with you!  

Now, onto the inspiration kit... 

I had a hard time finding a kit that really spoke to me for this pre-Christmas… autumn-ish/spring-ish (depending on where you are in the world)… entering Advent-time… coming up to winter… end-of-year time…. but in the end went for a kit that is quite festive.  

However, I really believe that it can be changed up to anything you want it to be 🙂.  

There are bright colours and interesting patterns included as well as a good number of embellishments to inspire. 

I hope you like it as much as I do and are excited to enter the festive time of year in a gentle way or take it in a different direction – there’s a lot going on at this time of year and this kit can be adapted for whatever you need!
