October 2025 - Challenge #1 Around the World

It's October 12th which can only mean one thing... it's time for Challenge #1 round here at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge and I'm excited to see how you interpret it.

1st let's take a look at the kit again

So many globes in the inspirational kit so I thought that would be the place to go for our 1st challenge this month! Use a globe on your layout. They make for a great cluster starter or a nice touch to finish off the cluster. A cutfile maybe? for a great background. So many possibilities with this challenge.

 Guest Forger Lori

 Made a fantastic layout adding the globes with a strip of pattern paper. To see more about this layout check it out over at her blog

Master Forger Ryann got some photos from when her son went to Barcelona, Spain.  These buildings are made by an artist who was creating an upscale housing development in an area that was run-down and old.  The homes he created became a historical monument.  Master Forger Ryann used texture paste through a template and added gems while the paste was wet to create the corners.  The globe in the lower right was paper pieced from a map paper and some copper foil cardstock.

Master Forger Brandi took the opportunity to create an "about me" style layout highlighting her travels abroad in her late teens/early 20s. This cut-apart card from Photoplay "Travelogue" kit was a perfect accent piece. 

  

Come back in a couple of days for our next challenge.  Don't forget, we still have a lot more to come this month.
