July Counterfeit kit.

 This month it is my turn to choose a kit.

I had an idea to do a look back at old kits we did years ago and repeat one as a

 FLASHBACK MONTH


Here's the kit I've chosen




It is the Noel Mignon Balboa kit from July 2014. It has a definite Carribean calypso feel.

A couple of things I noticed back then was the Blackboard trend with black matte papers you could write on. The other was flairs and brads which I used a lot of back then.

Without further Ado here's my kit this time around. I've named it CALYPSO DAYS


                                                                         PAPERS


EMBELLISHMENTS


CUT -APARTS


                                                             STAMPS


A big welcome to our guest designer (also a flashback as she was around back in 2014).

KATE BODDY BLUE

I'm Kate Blue, your guest designer for July! When I saw the Noel Mignon Balboa kit, the first thing that caught my eye was the mix of bright bold colors with a splash of black. The second things were the prints- hearts, butterflies and polka dots. So that's where I started my kit, I was determined to use vintage paper stash as much as possible. I then kept my embellishments add-on kit somewhat small (for me anyway) focusing on butterflies, cards, frames, sparkly bits and lots of various alphas. And there you have my July kit; hope I'll inspire you as the month goes by!

Now here is the blog hop
Have a great month everyone!

I do remember that kit, very colorful. I like your version as well with its hot pink and black. Enjoy!
