Counterfeit Kit

Be warned this is very photo heavy.  I have been following the http://counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com/ for a while and I love it.  This is my first time at the challenge and have spent a few hours going through my stash making up the kit.

Here is my card stock there is a range of American Crafts, Stampin' Up, Bazzil and co-ordinations.


Here are my papers I have quite a selection as you can see.  I have selected Making Memories, Rusty Pickle, Scenic Route, Tilda, Basic Grey, K&co, Li'l Davis Designs, Urban Lily, 3 bugs in a rug, and Fancy Pants.


I also pulled these scraps from the scrap box.


This is a selection of ribbons, lace, felt, Aida, glitter and flock.

 This is some of the embellishments I have got a sheet of Chipboard shapes from Basic Grey Two Scoops.Fancy pants rub ons a selection of journalling notes from Making Memories and October Afternoon.  The Kraft coloured hournalling pieces are made from Stampin' Up Crumb Cake card stock with various stamps I had and ones I borrowed from Kelly.  In the kit there was a branch and some birds.  I cut these out using SU card stock and Make The Cut on my Cricut. The leaves are from Sizzix Little Leaves sizzlit.  The transparency and white tickets are from an old Sarah's Cards kit.


Here is a selection of buttons, brads, pins, flowers, bottle caps and chipboard.  The tags are actually chipboard Christmas ones but I am using the other side.


The kit included chipboard alphas but I am going to cut my own using Sizzix Block Party dies as I can just cut out what I need.  I will also be using the Stampin' Up bird punch and the exclusive Beautiful Wings embosslits which cuts and embosses at the same time.


Well if your still with me you deserve a medal lol.  I am so excited to use this kit now I feel as if I have had a stash delivery when actually it was all here already and it cost me nothing!!
