February 2025 - Inspiration Kit and Social Media Hop

 

Welcome to February 2025. Yes it is already time for a new Counterfeit Kit Challenge!

Master Forger Misty here. I'm up this month to lead the team and you, our community, through another month of inspiration and scrapping. Our inspiration kit for the month is from Kitaholic Kits in Australia. I chose the May 2024 kit. This one appealed to me since it reminded me of a winter cabin in the woods. I wanted something wintery but not full of the typical motifs. With a really neutral color palette and just the right pops of accent colors I hope you find this kit flexible.

And the mixed media add-on kit...

Now that we've seen the kit, let's welcome this month's guest designer, Sheryle Thomas. Sheryle is from our very own CKC Facebook community. I love her consistent activity in the group and was happy to invite her to be our guest. Here is more from Sheryle...

"After a long career in nursing and years of caring for my mom, I have been able to focus more on the fun aspects of scrapbooking. I have been scrapbooking and collecting supplies for 25+years so time to use the supplies. I love following sketches and challenges to play with all the pretty paper and embellishments. As a retired person and childless cat lady I get to tell the stories of my extended family and of course those beloved cats. My favorite technique is probably die cutting as I do some on most pages."

Our new kit reveal always comes with a team social media hop to get your creative ideas flowing. Be sure to visit all our team members this month to see a wide range of takes on the inspiration.
