February 2021 - Counterfeit Kit Challenge Kit Reveal & Blog Hop

Welcome to February and a little heartfelt inspiration to bring love and creativity into the new month! 

I have to say that I sometimes feel like February is the longest month in the year as the cold days hang around and spring doesn't seem to show it's face so a month of creativity can help me see all the positive things that February has to offer :-) And I hope that our kit this month can help you through the end of winter (or summer depending on where you are) and keep your spirits high!

So let's get warm and fuzzy and loved up with our inspiration kit this month courtesy of the Scrapbook Werkstatt right here in Germany. Their "Herzstück" kit is their current kit and it just called out to me with its soft tones, floral abundance and hearts as far as the eye can see! 

I love it and hope you will too.

 There are detailed photos as well as a full content list over on their website if you need it so make sure you check it out! 

Of course, we also have a wonderful Guest Designer this month so please give a warm welcome to the fabulous Eileen!

"Hello, I am Eileen. I live in the United Kingdom and have been a Scrapbooker for about 15 years. I am a wife and a mother of two sons who are now men! My first grandchild is due early June so very excited to be a Grandmother.

I joined the CKC group as I like the idea of being able to recreate a kit specifically to match my own style and, of course, use up my stash!    

I was both flattered and surprised at being invited to be a Guest Designer for February but also delighted to take up the challenge. My scrapbook pages are generally 12 x 12 layouts, plain and simple, no frills and spills. I do like to use embellishments but tend to keep them to a minimum to allow the photographs to take centre stage. 

My other hobbies are researching my Family History, Baking, Reading (crime novels), walking my Dog (Jet, a Jack Russell) and taking lots of random photos to scrapbook."

So, let's kick off the new month by hopping through the team's amazing kits. Here's the full list:
