Inspired By Shimelle kit

Over at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog, we were given a different type of inspiration this month! Here is what they challenged us to do:

June 2012 Inspiration Kit

Our June 2012 Inspiration Kit has a bit of a different twist this month. It is inspired by Shmielle Laine in this video and by this thread on the Two Peas message board and by this "Inspired by Shimelle" Challenge blog post by Jenn Smith-Sloane.

Let me explain...rather than using a specific "inspiration kit", we are going to give you a list of supplies to gather. You can use any color scheme, theme, etc that you would like. As always, this list is not set in stone, if there is something on this list that you don't have (or don't like) feel free to substitute for something that you already have in your stash. The main goal here is still the same a usual..."shop your stash", put together a lovely kit, and USE the kit up!!!

If perhaps, this feels too overwhelming to you, you can always use one of our Design Team member's kits to counterfeit, they will all be revealed tomorrow.

Here is the master list of supplies for your kit...

• 10 sheets patterned paper
• 8 sheets cardstock
• 2 alphabet sets
• 2 stamp sets
• 4 journaling spots
• 3 types of "choose your own" style embellishments (flowers, border strips, ribbon, anything you like)
• 1 roll washi tape
• 1 "old" embellishment
• 1 messy item (paint, embossing, mists, etc)
• 1 other item of your choice

I was very inspired by this, and loved finding this video and challenge!! Without further ado, here is my kit for the challenge, "Papa's Pocketwatch":
