Counterfeit Challenge Kit

Good evening, it's a bit hot isn't it?  I am being typically British to anyone who will listen that it's far to hot and I wish it would cool down a bit :-)  I hope wherever you are you aren't struggling with the weather.
 
I have been scrapbooking quite a bit recently but I still haven't made a dent in my stash.  I have far far to much but I am enjoying using it all up.   I am on a bit of a mission at the moment to use up the scraps.  I have a expedit cube full of them.   I have also realised I work far better from a kit when I go to crops.   It's easier to get ready and everything is co ordinated.   As you will probably know I am a huge fan of the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Here.  Well this month they are counterfeiting a gorgeous kit so I thought I would play along.   Be warned my kit is HUGE.
 
Here is my first selection of papers.  I have included lots of papers but they are all scraps.  They range in sizes but there is not one full sheet.
 

 
Paper selection 2.  I have lots of different ranges from My Minds Eye, American Crafts, Basic Grey, Stampin Up and so much more.  I just went through the scrap bin and pulled out colours that I thought would work together. 


Here is a selection of Project Life cards.  I don't know who they are by as I have mixed all of my cards up.


These are my alphabets.   They are Thickers and some Papermania ones.  I will also use my Bigshot and Cricut if I need to.


 
Here is a selection of embellishments.  I am missing twine as it is somewhere on my desk and I just can not put my hands on it, anyone else have this problem?  I want to make some embellishments too and I am going to have a go at making some of the frames that is included in the original kit. 



Here are the sticker sheets I have included.  There is quite a range there......
 



So here is my kit.  I haven't included stamps, dies and cardstock as I will grab them as I need them.  I have been very organised and have even got some photos ready to use.  I am hoping to spend sometime over the weekend making some pages.  I also have a few cards to make so I am going to use the kit to make them too.
 


 
 
If you have got this far thank you so much for looking and I will be back in the next few days to show you some pages.

  3. I find using scraps energizes my creativity. That is as long as I like them. I try not to save my scraps that only leave me feeling lukewarm. Anyway, you've got some pretty awesome scraps there and I bet you get lots of mojo with them. I love your color range and small embellishments. I look forward to seeing what you create.

  5. It all looks very interesting. Enjoy this month's kit. I put my paper scraps in 12x12 ziplock bags(clear) according to colour.It is handy to pick up and take to a crop or class and you can see what you've got.
