January 2024 - Counterfeit Kit Challenge Inspiration Kit & Social Media Hop

Hi! Master Forger Tara here for the month! I am always so excited whenever it's my turn to take over the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog! 

I'd also like to introduce to you a friend of mine, Kristen!  She is our Guest Designer for this month of January!! Kristen is known as Scrapping On The Fly on both Instagram and YouTube. Make sure you leave her some love!!!

Hello! My name is Kristen, I am the proud mom of two, mostly, grown kiddos and a lover of all things scrapbooking! Making the memories to scrapbook, buying the collections and crafty tools, organizing all the fun stash and, of course, using all the different craft things to make a layout! I started my fist official scrapbook in 1996 and have been creating ever since!

 For this month's inspiration kit, Master Forger Cindy chose the December 2023 Hip Kit Club kit. So, let's take a look at the main kit:

This photo only gives you a little sneak peek of what is inside this kit so I have pulled the photo of the patterned paper because I LOVE PATTERNED PAPER! The papers in this kit are beautiful!  Loving that snowflake wreath!!  Lots of sweater prints too!!!

Here's a sneak peak of our Guest Designer's kit:

 Kristen says this about her kit:

"I selected the HKC Winter Moments With You (January 2023) collection because the color palette is very similar and had many of the same elements(i.e. snowflakes, snowmen, colorful circles, etc.) that our inspiration collection has.  I also selected to use the alphas from Vicki Boutin's Discover + Create because it has the multi colors like the inspiration alphas, and most of the colors work nicely with the papers and embellishments I selected."

I hope you are excited to make your own version from your stash & perhaps some "forgeries"?
