Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop - Best Days

Our inspiration for the month of October is a little bit different from our prior kits. Laura was inspired by two things 1) a kit she absolutely fell in love with and 2) something she saw recently on Instagram. She is a follower of Ali Edwards, who recently partnered with Studio Calcio to create a kit called "The Good Old Days" where they released a traditional 12x12 scrapbook kit and re-released older stamps from Ali's shop. Laura picked and older kit that she just loved. She is taking us back to August 2012 with Studio Calico's Summer of '69' kit.

It's the last photo on the bottom right.

Now I have drawn my inspiration from all of the kits in this release.

I have a few sheets of DCWV Citrus Twist Kit left from a bunch of prior project and thought the colors were perfect for this months inspiration.

The first 4 papers are the only 12x12 pieces I have and rest are scraps. I like to keep everything together until I'm done completely done with it. I have a few punched borders, some punched labels and a bag of scraps I didn't take a picture of.

My second paper set is of another DCWV paper pads which may be from two different paper pads.

I add yellow and bronze cardstock and the first two papers are full 12x12 sheets. I just had to include this because of the banners.

Here is my final set of papers:

The first three are from We R Memory Keepers - Farmers Market. White Cardstock, the next four papers are from Stampin' Up I'm not sure of the collections, then there is a shimmer brown cardstock, Bella Blvd - Christmas wishes "Candlelight", Colorbok Poolside, another Stampin Up paper, Tan card stock, Colorbok Deliah, Jen Hadfield Best Of, Stampin' Up, Colorbok Mint Julep. Then I included three die cut paper Ronna Farrer - Lime Twist, Pink Paislee - Porch Swing, and Creative Imaginations - Stripes Meadow.

For my embellishments I have a little bit of everything. I've included buttons, ribbon, doilies, tags. twine a couple of left over die cuts, punched flowers, silk flowers arrows. my tin of die cut labels. I even found some die cut banners and clothes pins. I have plenty of left over die cut butterflies so I've included them in here along with some of the die cut tabs and speech bubbles.

I have included vellum and transparency craft sheets, embossing powder, glitter and sequins, several different die shapes to represent the elements in the inspirations kit.  I have a

I've included several dies and stamps. I really like the stamp in the Five and Dime collection but haven't found one I like to substitute for it. I  couldn't find the cloud paper that I know I have so that will come later along with Washi as I couldn't decide what I wanted.
