January 2023 Counterfeit Kit Challenge and Blog Hop.

Happy New Year and welcome to the January Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog hop.  Lisa is our Master Forger in charge this month and she says, "I love Hip Kit Club and decided it was time to head there again even though it's only exclusive products. And I've gone for the December 2022 kit as it seems a winter kit with the slightest touch of Christmas which can be totally ignored if need be. . . I think the colours are lovely enough to twist this into more seasonal colours, I like the idea of something brighter and fresher for the new year by also hanging on a little for the recent festivities! There are enough standard style designs for you to match from your own stash and I think there are surely one or two forgery possibilities!"

We are delighted to have Anandi join us as Guset Designer this month. Lisa "simply adores her style and loved everything she made when she was on the Simple Scrapper Creative Team - and here CKC kits and layouts are a dream! 

Now for our inspiration kit: Hip Kit Club - December 2022

The papers:

Embellishments - add on's

Here is my kit: CKC January 2023 - Let It Snow!

I pulled most of my stash a bunch of single papers, both cardstock and pattern. Since I normally scrapbook in multiples, (I normally buy several sheets (3 maybe 4) of the same paper), these single papers are probably from one of the guys.  I thought that the colors went well with the inspiration kit, so my kit has more of a Winter / Christmas feel to it.
