August 2012 Inspiration Kit

This month we have decided to use a "different" type of inspiration kit...a DIGITAL kit!!!  So much fun!  There are so many bits and pieces to this month's kit, it should be really fun to put together and create with.

We have decided to use a kit from http://scraporchard.com/.  Here is the link to the digial kit we will be counterfeiting, called Summer Lovin' by Chelle's Creations.


What's the next step???

  • The CHALLENGE is to use this kit for inspiration. How, you ask? Well, there are many ways to go about this. Here are a few ideas... 
  • Try and match every piece in the kit as close as possible to something from your supply stash.
  • Use the "kit contents" as inspiration, and recreate your own kit with the same types of supplies, but in a different color or style that corresponds better with your preferences/photographs/scrapbook style/tastes.
  • Make an even smaller "page kit" or "card kit"..."counterfeiting" just a few items from this month's kit as inspiration.
  • Using the color scheme from the kits as inspiration, try to re-create a kit of your own using whatever supplies you have available.


What's to come?...

  • Tomorrow we will post pictures of the inspired Counterfeit Kits we put together from our stash of supplies. The link for you to share pictures of your Counterfeit Kits with each other is here.
  • Over the next week, we will add links to tutorials for counterfeiting many of the embellishments in this month's inspiration Kit's.
  • Over the next month, we will post mini challenges to USE your new kit, as well as organize a blog hop to share your creations!
  • We hope you all find some inspiration in the kit club we choose this month!!! If you aren't sure where to begin, check out the "Hints and Tips" page of our blog for some help. Feel free to leave a comment, questions, or any suggestions!!! We look forward to hearing from you.

  7. Oh! I've been busy gathering inspiration - from the DT and the other participants - and I'm so ready to put together my kit. Looking forward to getting some time to myself tonight, though I might need to give the craft room a little tidy first!
