March counterfeit kit

 Our kit this month is Introducing the Time to Thrive Digital and Printable Scrapbook Collection by Traci Reed — Traci Reed Designs



Here's what Anna says:

I came across the digital kits from Traci Reed designs that have the same colors and even some of the same designs as Storyteller, her physical collection designed for Cocoa Vanilla, a company from Australia (she’s the genius behind that popular collection). The cool thing about a digital/printable kit is that there is no limit on how much she can create. 

I also love that this collection has a very specific message of self-care for mental health and body positivity which is something I’d like to focus on more going forward. 


As usual I studied the papers first. 




I came up with this list 
Story
camera
smile
picture perfect
love
hearts
oh snap
recorded
memory
woodgrain
floral
small hearts
apricot
butterflies
plaid
rainbow
daisies
ditsy floral
blue check
navy

Then Anna pointed out the Storyteller collection from Cocoa Vanilla. Being Australian made, I thought I'd better investigate.



I bought what I could from this range. 

Presenting my kit "I'm a storyteller and can prove it." 




PAPERS
I've ended up with a combination of Storyteller papers, plus my own add ons.
There's both red and orange in here as well as a few I chose because of the patterns.
There are also 2 forgeries.


and here is the Storyteller range I bought.




Next came my alphas. I wanted black on white or gold same as the original kit. I had a new black set plus 2 lots of red and rose gold partly used. 




The EMBELLISHMENTS are based around my list, plus what I bought from storyteller kit. 





 There are some flairs and I have a stamp set of butterflies if needed.



 I'm still searching for camera motifs.

Oh, that Cocoa Vanilla Studio collection really is very similar in style, isn't it? I love your nods to both in your own kit x
