August 2024 - Just The Gist Of It

Hello! Master Forger Jody here! Yesterday I revealed the August Inspiration Kit. Today, I'm going to talk about how I pick my kit! First, let's take another look at the kit I chose: Bee-utiful Day Kit by Jennifer Fehr from sweetshoppedesigns.com. 

I look at the color scheme first. I noticed white, black and yellow right off the bat! I knew I had an older Echo Park collection that would work! I then noticed the bee theme and all the pretty florals. 

Here is the pattern papers I pulled from my stash, including the Echo Park collection - 

Notice, I did not pull any bright colors yet! I made the mistake of only grabbing the first colors I saw. Next, I gather the embellishments. This also includes mixed media products! I love getting messy so I made sure all those goodies are close by. I was excited to grab a few bee theme items I had in my stash and chip board phrases from an older Hip Kit Club kit.  

Here is a look at my embellishments - 

Lastly I had to have a few items from the actual inspiration kit. I felt the price was average and I could keep the kit forever! Here is what I printed on cardstock paper - 

Be sure to post your kit and tell us how you put it together!
