April Counterfeit Kit

 Celebrate! Sampler Inspiration with Victoria Calvin - Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine (scrapbookandcards.com)

This kit has been chosen by Misty. 

After examining these pictures, I headed to my pink stash. I added quite a few papers to my display then thought, why not go all pink?  

PINK CELEBRATIONS

 For my papers, here's what I came up with.

There are florals, hearts, one birthday paper, some plain cardstock plus a pink heart doiley and more of the heart banner. I didn't focus on birthdays for children as much as general celebrations.

To match this, I found these embellishments.

There are several ribbons plus tassels, lace, twine, some die cuts including buttons, tags, journal tags and some canvas shapes I misted in red.  I will add buttons as needed, embroidery thread etc. 

After tidying my ribbons, I found these tiny navy bows

Welcome to our Guest designer, Kathy

Hi…Kathy here from Washington state, USA. I have lived in Washington for 35 years now and am always amazed by the beautiful and diverse scenery that this state offers. I am married and have 2 adult sons, one lives in Seattle and the other lives in the other Washington. I’ve been following CKC for several years now but have never actually posted a layout or in fact, made a kit. I’m one of those who will spend hours looking through my stash for the perfect piece of paper or embellie so the idea of one kit seemed way out of my comfort zone. I have known Lisa for 10 years now (met in LOAD 2012) and she has tried to convince me to “just make a kit and try it!”. But I never did and then I met Misty a few years back, we are practically neighbors, and she asked me if I would be the guest designer. After much thought I decided it was time to get out of my box and try this approach as my stash overflows! I am looking forward to seeing what I come up with and where this takes me!

I have been scrapbooking, as we know it now, for over 20 years and love everything about it…all the stuff, all the stories I’ve told and that have been shared with me, and mostly all the wonderful people I have met along the way. You can find me on IG @codakathy. But honestly, I don’t post much and have never posted a layout there (not too many on FB, either, for that matter). I am thinking about creating another IG account with just layouts but just haven’t come up with a name yet. One of these days!
