August 2024 - Inspiration Kit Reveal and Social Media Hop

 Hello! Master Forger Jody here to reveal the August Inspiration Kit. It is bright, bold and full of color! I picked the Bee-utiful Day Kit by Jennifer Ferh from sweetshoppedesigns.com . I fell in love with the black and yellow combo including the bees! At first glance you may only see those 2 colors but look closer and notice the pretty bright colors as well! So many possibilities and such playful words. Here is what we get to work with!

Now I would like to introduce you to our Guest Designer for August, Sarah Rouault.

I live in Newbury, Berkshire UK. I’m a PA to the Directors at a Building Society. I have two grown up children and one granddaughter Daisy who is 6. I’m a widow of 19 years so I know to make the most of every day - we’re only here for a visit.  As a child I kept Newspaper cuttings of the Royal Family in a scrapbook and I started to scrapbook my photos about 11 years ago but stopped due to life events, however I really got back into it during 2020 - COVID and lockdown! I have followed Counterfeit Kit Challenge on the blog for years but only a few months ago joined the Facebook group and got stuck into creating kits from the inspiration each month. I have hundreds of photos still to scrap from many many years of snapping away and I like to use a defined kit for each event, occasion or holiday so CKC is great to help me focus on pulling different collections from my stash together to use this way for each project.  I love all the ideas each month and the support and comments posted in the group is so encouraging - everyone is so lovely. 

Let's have a look at Sarah's August Kit!

Sarah said she used the main inspiration picture to gather - colour matching items, including bees!  I also included some ribbons and paper flowers and coloured cardstock if needed.
