Counterfeit Kit Challenge # 1 - Ringing in the New!

Today is the first Challenge on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog. Our first challenge is to scrap about something new. Did you get something new over the holidays? Have you recently experienced something new? Are you looking forward to something new this year? You can even twist the challenge and feature some new items on your project.

I have two  new things on things for this challenge. The first is the bicycle planter and the second is washi tape from Heidi Swapp.

I had received this bicycle planter. My hubby knows I love to make wreaths and thought I could turn this planter into a wreath (he knows me well).  I decided to test it out with a few sprigs of evergreen, berries and pinecones. I'm sure it will look awesome when the basket is full. I will probably keep it in the house as I don't want it to rust, which it will if I put it outside.

The red and white polka dot stripe is wash put on a piece of white cardstock then layerd between the two papers. I learned this from Janet at RTS Scrapbooking YouTube channel.

I cut one of the transparency frames in half along with a doily then filled in with some flower stickers.

I stamped the little bicycle that was included in the Scrapbooks and Cards Today Summer 2018 stamp set and fussy cut them out. I finally decided that I would also fussy cut my bicycle from my forgeries and not use it as a journaling spot.

Don't forget to check out the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog as our Guest Designer Meagan and Master Forger Julene has "something new" up their sleeves.

Thanks for stopping by.
