September 2019 - Just the Gist of It

Hi there. I'm back with Just the Gist of It where we hope to help you find a "way in" to our monthly kit if you're feeling a little unsure about where to start when pulling together your own set of supplies.

Here's a reminder of the kit we're showcasing this month. It's a personalised, curated kit from the Secret Not Secret Kit Club and you can find more photos and a full list of kit contents in yesterday's blog hop/reveal post here.

When Khristina asked me for ideas about the kit I'd like her to curate for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge, I came up with the following list of preferences:

• September is the end of summer and there is a whiff of autumn in the air
• Muted colours but not grungy
• Plenty of embellies
• Something unexpected
• Travel, nature and city themed elements

To be honest with you, this seems like a perfect way to start shopping your own stash. Look through your own supplies with this short list in mind and see where it takes you this month!

Or just pick one item from the list and start from there.

Just a reminder that we'll be back throughout the month to give you some tipis, ideas and challenges as you put together and use your kit.  

Here's what we have coming up this month:

• September 4th:  We'll have our "Forgery on the Fourth" post where the Master Forgers will reveal how they created their own version of some of the items in this month's kit.
• September 6th:  We'll reveal a couple of mini-kits and projects, in case you're a little limited for time this month and would prefer a more petite kit.
• September 12th & 18th:  We'll give you two challenges to help you use the kit you've made.
• September 24th:  I'll be showcasing one of the CKC community who's caught my eye this month
• September 30th: We'll be offering another installment in our {Killing Kits} series to help you find ways to use up all of your kit.

We always love to see your work, so please share your kits and projects with us.

You can use our Monthly Link-up page, post them in our Facebook Community, or share them on Instagram (we are @counterfeitkitchallenge or tag us using #counterfeitkitchallenge and #ckcseptember2019).

Thanks so much for stopping by! We can't wait to see your kits and projects this month!
