January 2025 Inspiration Kit and Social Media Hop

 

Welcome to January 2025 and a New Year on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog!

 Master Forger Christine on deck to guide us through my first month of counterfeiting fun! Our inspiration kit for the month will be Hip Kit's September 2024 "Good Things Ahead". I chose this kit because I love the unique color palette and hey, it's a new year so there must be good things ahead!

This kit isn't your typical "winter" theme, which means you have so much opportunity to work with it!  I know in Texas, we don't see much winter, so this is a good fit for those of us without snow!  For inspiration, I've got the main kit and the embellishment kit images shown here.

Now, let's meet our guest designer for the month, Jennifer Cain!

 I've been following Jennifer on Youtube and Instagram for a while and love her non-traditional style.  I met her virtually when we were both on a design team together and then decided to pair up on our own YT Collab.  So she was the first person I thought of when inviting a Guest Designer. Here is a little more info from Jennifer herself!

 "I have been scrapbooking for 25+ years. I enjoy using just about anything to show off my photos and tell my story. I scrapbook 8 1/2x11 size, single layouts in portrait, landscape and double page layouts. I use lots of different items in my scrapbooking. I love learning new techniques and finding new items to use. I enjoy making interactive layouts including hidden tags, fold outs, mini waterfalls and pockets. I restarted my YouTube channel in that last year and have over a 100 videos posted. Also have over 1800 layouts posted on Instagram. I am under Jennifer ScrappinCain for both accounts."
