February 2026 - Inspiration Kit and Social Media Hop!!!

Welcome to February on the Counterfeit Kit from all the Master Forgers! This month we have a new inspiration kit to help you use up your stash! I am Master Forger Amanda and I am hosting the blog for the month of February! I hope that you are refreshed and ready to tackle some more challenges and you play along with us on Facebook!  This month's inspiration kit is from The Scrap Room's Flavor of the Month from January 2024.  This kit features Carta Bella'a At Home, PhotoPlay's Bro's Amazing, Simple Stories' Winter Wonderland and Vicki Boutin's Discover + Create. 

To add a little more embellishment to play with - I decided to include the embellishment kit too! 

As you can see, this inspiration has a lot of options that you can scrap all sorts of events and everyday activities with!  Make your kit as big or as small as you want to!  There are soo many opportunities to get those memories scrapped!

I am pleased to introduce our Guest Designer for the month of February, Kathy Price. 

 Be sure to follow her on Instagram and YouTube!

 

 

"Hi, I’m Kathy — mum of five, Deputy Principal by day, and a scrapbooker for over 24 years. Scrapbooking has been part of my life through every season, and my style is best described as eclectic: I don’t believe in boxes, rules, or “one right way” to create. I’m always willing to give any scrapbooking style, trick, or tip a fair go. From clean and simple to messy, layered, budget-friendly or bold, if it helps tell the story, I’m in. My heart is in capturing real memories for my family, the everyday moments as much as the big ones. I truly believe scrapbooking is more than a hobby, it’s history recording In real time. One day, future historians won’t just look at textbooks; they’ll look at the stories we preserved. Our layouts show how we lived, what we valued, who we loved, and how life evolved over time. That’s pretty powerful. I love to scrapbook, I love all things paper and my motto - just add more!"

Kathy has some great papers and embellishments picked out for this month! She definitely has a variety in her kit!

Our Master Forgers have lots of inspiration for you as they share their counterfeit kits.  Be sure to check them out on their creative pages, as well as the Counterfeit Kit Community Facebook group.
