September 2025 - Challenge #4 Baby, Use Those Scraps!

 

Hello!  Today is the last day of the month and time for our final challenge.  Have you been saving all those tiny pieces of leftovers throughout the month?  Now is the chance to use them up!  It's our Scraps Challenge.  Create a project using the scraps from your kits.  Remember, it doesn't have to be a 12x12 layout.  It can be a card or even a spread in a traveler's notebook.

 Let's take a final look at our inspiration kit, Life Captured by Simple Stories.

Our Master Forgers came up with great ways to use those scraps!

Here is what I had left.

I managed to make 2 cards.

I purposely made a small kit and finished well before the end of the month.

This was a fun kit to work with, and I'm glad I had just the right pieces to put together for this layout of my granddaughter enjoying the neighbor's flowers.  She was really good about not picking any of the flowers, but she sure was taking in all the colors and flowers from every angle!  I used a punch to make some flowers at the top of the page, the last bits of some hearts in the centers on foam tape, and some bow stickers I had put in there.  The title card "Life" was in my stash for about 15 years, so yay for getting that used up!  The acrylic letters "flowers" were in my stash longer, I think!  I used some paint pens to make grass on those, and the gem/bling I've had for about a year.  I love a scraps challenge for getting rid of old stragglers in my stash! 

Thanks for playing along this month.  It was a blast hosting the blog.  I want to thank our Guest Designer, Stephanie Olson, for bringing her A-game with her projects this month.  Our outstanding Master Forgers once again created phenomenal work as well.  Come back tomorrow when Master Forger Tina takes over the blog.  Just wait until you see the inspiration kit!

Keep sharing your work with us!   We often choose our Guest Designers by looking at the projects you show us.  Be sure to post on our Facebook Community Group and tag us on Instagram at #counterfeitkitchallenge and #ckcseptember2025 

Happy Scrapping!
