August 2016 Counterfeit Kit Challenge Member's Blog Hop

"Welcome to my part of the CKCB Members' Blog Hop.
You should have come here from Tara's blog.
Here's a look back at my August Kit:


And a couple of pages that I have made with the kit so far;

First, a new page in response to challenge #1, "Happy Sandcastle Day", as the cork paper reminds me of sand, and what could be more indicative of childhood than back to school memories, with last year's back to school photo of my kiddos:

 And some detail shots:



And, of course the page that I made for Challenge#3, "Sounds foreign to me":

I am loving the pages that are resulting from this kit, and can't wait until I get a bit more time to play with it this weekend. 

Thanks for stopping by, and now you should hop over to Tina's blog ...

Here's the list of blogs that are participating in Today's blog hop:


Don't forget to leave me a comment to let me know you were here and happy hopping!"

Magic Monday...#ShowYourDisneySide memorabilia

Good evening! Today's layout features some memorabilia that I brought home from our last Disney trip, a brochure from the #Rock Your Disney Side 24-hour event that welcomed us on our first day. I had a fun photo that someone took of us in front of the Magic Kingdom train station, with the Rock Your Disney side banner in the background, and I thought that it would be the perfect compliment to the brochure.
 I used supplies from my July CKC kit:

And here's a look at the brochure (I love just stapling them at the top so that I can fold them out and look at them if I choose to.):

That's all for tonight, I'll be back in couple of days (the 24th) to show what I have been making with my August CKC kit. See ya real soon!

Counterfeit Kit Challenge #3 for August 2016

This is the challenge that we were given:

Challenge #3 for August 2016 - Sounds Foreign to Me!


foreign

adjective

 UK /ˈfɒr.ən/  US /ˈfɔːr.ən/​

 belonging or connected to a country that is not your own: 

Spain was the first foreign country she had visited.

foreign languages
In honour of our German inspiration kit, and the fact that you might have had a go at understanding the kit content list, I'd like you to be inspired by foreign words on your project.

Since I haven't ventured out of the United States as an adult (I need to remedy that!), my first thought was Epcot's World Showcase. I decided to scrap these  photos from the Norway pavilion's quick service bakery, mainly because the name of the bakery sounds so foreign.

All of the supplies for this page came from my August Counterfeit kit, and I have to say I quite love this kit, and the way my pages are coming together with it. I've made a couple more inspired by Shimelle's Project 20 class, which I will share on the 24th for our member's blog hop. Don't forget, we want to see your kits and what you are making with them, so be sure to email us at  thecounterfeitkitchallengeblog@gmail.com  and let us know that you would like to participate!

Magic Monday: Learning to Draw at Animation Academy

Good morning everyone, and Happy Monday! For today's edition of Magic Monday, we are heading over to Hollywood Studios. I scrapped these photos from Animation Academy (which is no longer there), of my twins learning to draw from Disney Animators. My husband took the twins to Animation Academy while I stood in line with my son and oldest daughter to meet Mickey and the Incredibles. The girls said they had so much fun, and they were rather disappointed to learn that it won't be there when we go for our next trip.

Enamel dots made the perfect little paint droplets for my paint palette:

I sketched a mickey head with a chalk marker to embellish the title :

The supplies that I used for this page came from my June Counterfeit kit:


and my July Counterfeit kit:

Thanks for stopping by for another Magic Monday! I'll have some more crafty fun up on the blog tomorrow with a challenge and an example layout for the Counterfeit Kit challenge tomorrow. Have a magical day...See ya real soon!

A Late Magic Monday: "Fun With Goofy"

Good evening! I almost let this Monday slip away, running errands and such, and then I realized I hadn't shared a Disney craft yet. Here is a page made with the seemingly never ending kit from April, "A Secret Garden " (what was I thinking making up 4 kits anyway?Jeez). I am about to call it on that kit and put the remaining supplies away to be doled into future kits and pages, but I'm still trying to use as much as I can. Anyway, back to my page. I took inspiration from this fun challenge from Disneyscrappers;

EPCOT Challenge

Whether you love the rides, the food, the shopping, Future World, or the World Showcase,
there is alot to see and scrap at Epcot.
This challenge is to create a layout using photos of EPCOT
For this layout you must include one or more of the following elements:

*"Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow"
*Multiple Triangles to echo the designs all over Future world
*Circles (spaceship Earth) in the form of stitched circles, punched patterned paper, confetti, enamel dots, or buttons
*Figment
*metal or metallic products
I used the wonky circles from October Afternoon, gold metallic foam Thickers word and swirl. The kit really did suit the page quite well, with the green and white flowers echoing the florals and topiaries left over from the Flower and Garden festival, the circles on the background giving a nod to both Epcot and the soccer Goofy. Now, I'm off to bed to watch the rest of tonight's broadcast of Olympic events. Have a great night!

August 2016 Counterfeit Kit Challenge Kit, "Afternoon Daydreams"

Good morning! It's August already! Can you believe it? My summer has just flown by-my kids start back to school on Wednesday. My weekend has been a flurry of back to school shopping (my, how times have changed-most of my shopping this year was online!). I did have to check the stores for a few things here and there, though, but I had more luck finding what I wanted for reasonable prices online. Anyway, back to my August kit! The kit that the lovely Lisa chose for us to counterfeit this month is this awesome kit from Papier Werkstat:

I loved the soft krafts, creams, pinks, and the soft way they added black into their kit. It's there, but it's not harsh, or in your face, as blacks can sometimes be. I definitely wanted the same soft, feminine neutral feeling to my kit, so I kept a few things in mind as I searched my stash for products to put in my kit. On my list: kraft, cream, pink, and a touch of black for the colors. For the patterns;whimsical, floral, and a few basics that could work for backgrounds like stripes or polka dots. For my embellishments, I knew I wanted kraft Thickers, and a smaller secondary set of letter stickers, and I searched my stash to find an album similar to the felt album, and some diecuts similar to the ones in the inspiration kit. Beyond that, I knew that I wanted some pieces to add dimension, so I added in some chipboard, layered stickers, acetate overlays, and flair badges. I added in some scraps from my stash to try to get them used up, and a sticker pack from the Notes&Things line that featured rather heavily in my kit. I rather love the soft, feminine kit that resulted from this stash dive! In fact, I think that I will call this kit "Afternoon Daydreams", because of the underlying office theme, mixed with the soft whimsy of butterflies, flowers, and horses-it really does remind me of things that you might daydream about in an afternoon at the office.

My Kit, "Afternoon Daydreams":

Here's a closer look at just the album and papers:


I made a video so that you could have a closer look at my kit, and I show the B-sides of the papers that have them, and tell a bit about why I made the choices that I did, I would love for you to have a look:

And be sure to hop around to see what these other talented ladies have up their sleeves this month! I know I am excited to see! Here's the list:
