April 2025 - Inspiration Kit and Social Media Hop

 Welcome to April 2025. It's time for a new Counterfeit Kit Challenge!

I'm Brandi and I'll be the Master Forger in charge for the month of April! It is really starting to feel like SPRING in my neck of the woods, so for this month's inspiration kit I chose Lil' Man Collection by Bella Gypsy Designs. Don't let the name fool you, there's a lot of beautiful inspiration here no matter what theme or season you are scrapping!  

As always, we have a fantastic guest designer playing along with us this month! Briana Spors is a fellow member of the Stick It Down design team with me. 

Here's what Briana has to say about her scrapbooking style: 

"I have been passionate about scrapbooking for 25 years — and my extensive stash is proof of that journey. I have 3 young adult daughters and a husband that are the subjects of my scrapbook layouts.  Over the past 2.5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with amazing new friends through my YouTube channel. My style leans toward simplicity, but I also have a deep love for mixed media. My layouts often reflect a blend of old and new, bringing together timeless supplies with fresh finds. Lately, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the process of creating counterfeit kits, which allows me to rediscover and combine my favorite products in exciting new ways."

You can find her on social media as well!
