January Counterfeit kit Reveal.

 



Cindy has chosen a digital kit from Traci Reed Designs called On the Go and Going Slow. 

Here's the unboxing video.


After some thought I named my kit "Bright and shiny".

I started with papers as usual.


I tried to match the originals,  but found myself adding more black than the original kit. The patterns matched fairly closely. There's also a forgery in here, can you spot it?

While shopping in Canberra over the Christmas break I bought these 2 Bazzil transparencies. I will cut them or use them whole as needed, but I put them in this kit to make a start.



*****
My embellishments are a mixture of what I have. 

Last year I made a real effort to use my stash and not buy too much. 
I hope to continue that idea in 2022.
I have managed to go through quite a lot of stuff last year and can see a difference.

First my alphas are a mixture and you might see mixed fonts on my layouts as the need arises.



I'm using a set of butterfly stamps this month, plus a very old bee stamp.




and I found quite a random mix of other items.
The stamps are there again in this picture , but also die cuts, stickers, tags and labels, embroidery cottons and some tickets. I might also add ribbons and buttons, wood veneers as needed and paint,inks etc.



Well that's it for this month. 
Here's the blog hop in case you get lost along the way................

 Happy new year everyone.

Last layout for 2021.

 I'm finishing up my Christmas kit today by making this layout, which had semi prepared earlier. 

My daughter ha home made Christmas gingerbread this year which was so tasty. It reminds me of our Christmas days together.


I just noticed the S has fallen off. It is around here somewhere and will be added back on when I find it.

My December daily kit has been packed away now ready for next Christmas.

CKC December daily cards

 I've made 2 final cards with my December daily kit.

My first is for sketch 'n'scrap.


I've used red vellum for my framing and a small santa sticker I got in my Christmas bon bon.


The next one is using the original pink tree paper.

There's washi tape on here plus a gold border strip.


Both will go into the box to be sold for next year.

CKC December Daily Days #22 and 23


Yesterday's prompt was Christmas chipboard. I didn't have any.

Today's prompt is alphas. 


I added a black set and a very dark pink set. Not sure yet what I will use.  also popped in some mini alphas that are really old.

Tomorrow's prompt is add anything you haven't already added. I couldn't think of anything extra. So that makes this the final page for my December Daily.

For those who have been looking, thank you and Merry Christmas.

Jumpstart sketch

 I took a break from Christmas activities yesterday and did a NORMAL layout for The Scraproom Jumpstart Sketch.

My daughter recently took a holiday on the south coast and visited Mogo Zoo.


Here's the sketch.

I chose colours that matched my 3 photos. I enjoyed doing this one and was able to use the giraffe picture plus a couple of animal buttons I've had for ages.

Another bonus use was the orange and white ribbon behind the title.

CKC December Daily Day #21

 



Today's prompt is a stamp set.

This I can do, I have a couple of Christmas stamp sets from Kaisercraft.


These have been used for several Christmases but will be used again.

Also I have made a card for Winter wonderland  where anything goes.

I've used 4 layers on a card plus a tab an the last of the black sentiments.

CKC December daily Day #20

 


Day #20 the prompt is Project life/ journalling cards.

After searching through my stash I didn't find many but I did find a couple of reindeer.


I will try to incorporate these on cards somehow.

Here's my first one, a card for Cardz4galz
I used the reindeer with the green gingham on this card.
 Also there is some Christmas washi plus a sentiment from this kit.
