This summer is just flying right along. I always think that "once school gets out" I'll be able to craft more. It has not been the case for me this year. I tend to be more productive late at night, so getting up early is NOT fun for me... or DS either when I'm working on 2 hours of sleep. Needless to say I try to keep those super late night craft sessions to a minimum during the school year. So I'm counting down to the first day of school! Just don't tell DS :)
A few weeks ago my new friend Valerie shared with me some layouts she created for the Counterfeit Kit Club I heard about CKC several months ago and loved the concept! Basically the club features an actual kit club, and challenges crafters to create a similar kit based on the kit contents, theme, color scheme, ect, using products they already have in thier stash. Genius if you ask me :) So this month I decided to play along! Here's the kit that I created using items from my stash.
Kit Contents:
12x12 cardstock {Brown, green, cream, orange, black, white, & kraft}
12x12 Sn@p Life Basics Patterned Papers
12x12 Patterned paper from Stampin' Up
Basic Grey Hey Boy Matchbook Alpha stickers
Studio Calico Hearts & Arrows Wood Veneers
Studio Calico Tiny Stars Wood Veneers
My goal is to use only the contents of my kit to create layouts and cards, but I may use some stamps & ink, coloring mediums such as Copics/BIC markers, watercolors, and/or oil pastels. I also plan to use some mini rhinestones, and use stencils, dies, & punches to create additional shapes & letters if they fit my project. So stay tuned, I've already completed two projects I just need to photograph & upload them to the blog.
Do you subscribe to a kit club if so which one? If you don't, is there a kit club that has caught your eye recently?
