Scrappy's Counterfeit Kit Challenge Advent Calendar

 Welcome to December at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge. For this month we are doing things a little bit differently. The Counterfeit Kit Challenge is all about shopping our own stash and creating a personally curated kit. 

"Today is the beginning of "the most wonderful time of the year" but that often means our crafty time gets pushed aside. the LAST thing you need is another item on your To-Do List, BUT we still need a little craftiness in our days - and we're here to helps. How about working on a holiday gift for yourself!"

We will have a quick daily prompt to hunt and gather a box of goodies for Christmas by spending 1 to 5 minutes each day tossing an item into a kit box for a project of your choosing to be tackled in January or even between Christmas and New Year's Eve!

We will begin by deciding what we are building our kit FOR. Here are a few different ways to zero in on a kit that you can make good use of:

  • You may have already prepared December Daily Project
  • Do you have a box of UFO's -UnFinished Objects
  • Choose a theme (travel, All About Me, bucket list), Color palette, a special personal relationship, celebrate a season, a personal favorite project etc.
  • Pull your kit together with the purpose of using your scrappy supplies in your art journal.

Now that you've made your choice grab a box or container to collect your items and as Leslie says "toss in a pen and sheet of blank paper or notepad to jot things down"

That's it for day One! 

As for me, well I have a stack of DCWV's Shimmer Stack cardstock I have set aside for using up this year.  I have also added a few sketches to my box to get me started. 





 I am positive that Leslie did not mean this when she said to toss in a pen and paper to get things going, but this is one way I start my process.  I have started a Pinterest board for CKC December 2021 that you can find these sketches and others that I found inspirational for December.

Tell us about your choice in the Facebook Counterfeit Kit Challenge group! Some of the Designer will be playing along throughout the month. Starting tomorrow you will be given something to add to your kit. 

Be sure to stop at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Daily and the Facebook page for the daily prompt.

Thanks for stopping by.
