Guest Designing at Counterfeit Kit Challenges!

Hello, everyone, and Happy October 1st! I can't believe it is already October. I'm pretty sure summer just started last week!

I am super excited to share that I am guest designing at Counterfeit Kit Challenges this month! A big thank you to Tina and the rest of the design team for having me back as a guest designer. 

The inspiration kit for this month is Not Just For Boys Kit Club's - Journey the World Deluxe Theme Kit. Not Just For Boys offers up beautiful kits every month, so be sure to go over and check them out! Here is a look at the inspiration kit: 






 I was a little nervous when I saw that the inspiration kit was a travel kit. We are homebodies and rarely go on more than a day trip now and then. I thought I might have to go rogue with my kit! But, I decided what better time to scrap a few of the photos from Matthew's first international trip from earlier this year, so I embraced the travel theme and went for it! 

My kit is a bit more colorful than the inspiration kit, but I do have similar patterns in my kit.

Here is a look at my kit:


I was a little surprised at how many travel collections I had in my supplies! For someone who doesn't travel, I have quite a few.

Here are the papers I picked for my kit:


I have papers from Simple Stories, Pink Paislee, and Echo Park. 


I don't have many travel embellishments aside from the sticker sheets from the collections, so I have added in quite a few cut-apart papers to help out with embellishing. I see a lot of fussy cutting this month!

Here are a few of the travel sticker sheets I found in my supplies:


Not everything will be usable, but there are quite a few stickers that can be used.


I also found a couple of roller phrase stamps and other travel-related stamps that will work, and I pulled a few wood pieces, enamel dots, and flair pieces for my kit.

I thought these cut-aparts from an old Simple Stories collection could be cut up for embellishments, or used as is:
