November Counterfeit Kit!

It's time to put together a kit for November's Counterfeit Kit Challenges!

This month's inspiration kits come from Scraptastic Club. Scraptastic is also the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog prize sponsor for the month - one lucky winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to Scraptastic! All you have to do to be entered in the drawing is either join the blog hop or comment on the blog hop...it's that easy! The blog hops will be on November 27th and 28th, and hop details are always available back on the CKCB.




There are four kits and add on kits to choose from. I saw an item in this Home Sweet Home kit that sent me over the moon - see those little houses? I LOVE little houses! I even live in one :). So I opted to counterfeit this kit.

Here is my kit, flipped forward into a Christmas Edition! The little houses in the original kit reminded me of all the little houses in the Little Yellow Bicycle collection, so I started there. Then I looked for anything homey to go along with the theme. In my stash I found a house stamp and a "home" embellishment; I also have several ideas for cutting houses and adding them to my kit. I included several tags and plan to use them and make more, maybe as potential gift tags. Topped it all off with some leftover Jillibean Soup embellishments and alphas, and I think I'll have plenty to keep me busy.

So, check out one of this month's inspiration kits and try making your own kit. It's great fun to shop your own stash, and if you're like me, it's pretty motivating to see a kit come together. Hope you'll play along!

  3. Well aren't you clever, getting a head-start on your Christmas kit. I have to admit the red in the Scraptastic kit is what caught my eye too, so I mixed the two kits together. I am looking forward to your projects - ho, ho, ho!

  5. Oh that's lovely Rebecca - quite a few of us were drawn to the Home Sweet Home kit - though I skipped the houses in mine.
