February 2025 Counterfeit Kit and Social Media Hop

 Welcome to February's Counterfeit Kit and Social Media Hop.  Are you ready for another month of inspiration?

Master Forger Misty is up this month as our Master Forger in charge. She has chosen for our inspiration kit this month a kit from Kitaholic Kits in Australia. She chose the May 2024 kit and says this, "This one appealed to me since it reminded me of a winter cabin in the woods. I wanted something wintery but not full of the typical motifs. With a really neutral color palette and just the right pops of accent colors I hope you find this kit flexible.

And the mixed media add-on kit...

Please welcome our guest designer, Sheryle Thomas. Sheryle is from our very own CKC Facebook community. I love her consistent activity in the group and was happy to invite her to be our guest. Here is more from Sheryle...

"After a long career in nursing and years of caring for my mom, I have been able to focus more on the fun aspects of scrapbooking. I have been scrapbooking and collecting supplies for 25+years so time to use the supplies. I love following sketches and challenges to play with all the pretty paper and embellishments. As a retired person and childless cat lady I get to tell the stories of my extended family and of course those beloved cats. My favorite technique is probably die cutting as I do some on most pages."

Now for my Counterfeit Kit - CKC February 2025 - The Neutrals.

I pulled a lot of neutrals for this kit with a few pops of colors in greens and teals. I added in a lot of different metallic papers, either in the patterns or full sheets. 

My papers:

For more specialty paper I included vellum and transparencies, to round out my kit I pulled from my scrap pile for a lot of scraps to make up page kits. 

Embellishments: I have a lot of die cuts from my Cricut and Silhouette for my embellishments along with trying to use up a few of the miscellaneous bits and pieces. Here is a few.

We also have a couple of stencils, a cloud one I made a few years ago, stamps, flowers, pom poms, labels, buttons stickers and a rub on or two, embossing folders circle punches and dies. I even used a paper plate for one of my die cuts which means I used my distressing tool and of course lots of inks
