This month, the kit club that is inspiring our stash kits is the bright and fresh kit for April from the <a href="https://buttonfarmclub.com/products/everyday-documented-page-kit-april">Button Farm Kit Club</a>:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I definitely wanted to use the bright, pretty colors, and felt like this collection of papers fit the bill:<br />

I love the airy, watercolor feel to this kit, and feel it is very well suited to the month of April. This month, I noted that the inspiration kit had a lot of die cut pieces of flowers, doilies, and even a few butterflies, so I felt that this was the perfect opportunity to bring in stamps and dies to use in my kit rather than a bunch of embellishments:</div>

I think it will be a fun kit to work with, and I even have some lovely spring photos to scrap this year, since I have taken some time to photograph the changing season. Now I can't wait to get started! I'd love to see your take on this month's inspiration-be sure to link up over at the counterfeit kit challenge blog.

I am sharing a page this morning in response to the challenge we were given, "Happy Birthday". I used my March Counterfeit kit, along with several papers from the Crate Paper Party Day paper pad, that has sat in my stash for several years with out much love or attention. Here is the layout that I made:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I fussy cut the cupcakes from a cupcake paper in the Party Day collection, and added them in as layering bits:<br />

Welcome March 2018!Well, March is certainly coming in like a lion in my part of the world. We've had lots and lots of rain, to the point of flash flooding and roads being closed in my area, and it's still raining as I type this! Hoping that soon the rains will subcede, and the sun will come out to dry up my soggy state. But I was quite happy to lift my spirits with a fresh kit to scrap with. This is the kit that Susan made up for us to scraplift:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-weE-Zv5SPqI/Wpd60EVpLrI/AAAAAAACFHs/ZJ0HCc4CK_0QeIH2jtXHXPqMGAEG02tcgCLcBGAs/s1600/Photo%2B1%2B-%2Bfull%2Bkit%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-weE-Zv5SPqI/Wpd60EVpLrI/AAAAAAACFHs/ZJ0HCc4CK_0QeIH2jtXHXPqMGAEG02tcgCLcBGAs/s640/Photo%2B1%2B-%2Bfull%2Bkit%2B1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I notice a few things about her kit right away. The Blick and white stripe, multicolor stripe, lots of polka dot prints, and a random selection of die cuts, bakers twine, black and white washi, the large wood veneer, puffy hearts, a sheet of stickers, and a sheet of partially used letter stickers. Here is my take on the inspiration kit:<br />

Well, I think I have finally broken through my slump. I have gotten several pages made, and I am feeling a bit of an urge to craft. The first page I am sharing today is the one that I made for the Master Forger's 2nd challenge on the Counterfeit Kit challenge blog; </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How do you like to spend your weekend? </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Challenge #2 is </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">"Weekend time"</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Interpret that however you like. </span></blockquote>
I must admit, I was a bit stumped with this one (it's always the easy ones that get us, right?) I finally just started flipping through my pictures, and came up with some pictures from a few years ago of the twins at the playground. It was a little bittersweet to scrap these, as they are now "too old" to play on the playground like they used to, but it was something that I did every year with them when it would first start to get warm outside. These photos may actually be from the last time I took them to a playground, now that I think about it. I almost dreaded it back then, because it would be so hard to get them to leave. It's a good lesson to slow down and appreciate those moments...because they are so fleeting, and I surely miss them. So here is the layout that I did to commemorate those sweet moments at the park:<br />

My answer to to this challenge was Epcot France photos: it was the perfect excuse to use some OOOLD Eiffel Tower paper in my stash , which I cut up and used pieces of to embellish my layout:<br />

Thanks for stopping by today! I have more scrappy pages that I've done, and can't wait to share them with you!

And welcome, February! This month, we were tasked with counterfeiting the the gorgeous (and HUGE) <i style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="https://www.noelmignon.com/collections/kits/products/weekend-in-paris-daily-diary-kit">Weekend In Paris Daily Diary</a> </i>kit from Noel Mignon. I have been a fan of these kits for a long time, since before Two Peas went out of business. I made a little bigger kit than I have been making, as I actually got a little scrapping done this past month! I made several page bases, and I ordered a huge batch of pictures from Persnickety Prints, so I will have "fresh" pictures to scrap (finally-that may have contributed to my slump last year. I realized that I hadn't ordered new prints all year). So, on to my February kit. While not quite as large as the Noel Mignon kit, I did manage to pull together a pretty full selection from my stash. I have to say that Valentines papers are some of my favorite to scrap with-I just love the pinks and reds, and the gorgeous patterns-florals and lace. Here is a look at the kit we were given to counterfeit:<br />

<i>What I see, that I want in my kit-</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Gold Glitter letters</li>
<li>Pink, Light blue, Gold, Yellow, with a touch of black</li>
<li>Resin shapes</li>
<li>Enamel dots</li>
<li>Stickers/dimensional Stickers</li>
<li>Journaling Cards</li>
</ul>
<div>
After I make a mental list like this, I start pulling papers from my stash, and usually kind of let the papers guide me. I usually come across one that has a bolder pattern than the rest, and make the kit coordinate around that paper. Here is the kit that I came up with:</div>

I may have a few forgeries if I feel froggy over the next few days, but for now, my main kit is this:<br />

It is rather timely for me, since I haven't done much of anything in my December Daily, and I have the next couple of days off. My family has had these terrible colds this December (me included), and I just haven't felt like pulling out my scrappy supplies at all this month. The dreary weather has not helped my motivation level at all, either. So... Here's to a fresh start and some new scrappy motivation. Welcome to our new team members! Now, grab a cup of coffee and have a look around at their inspiring kits before you head off to make your own:<br />

It reminded me of the Lori Whitlock collection for Echo Park that I had, Reflections, with its warm sand, woodgrain, blues, soft greens, and lovely florals and map prints,so that is what I started with as I began to pull my kit together. I replaced the florals with leaf prints to make it a bit more "fall-ish". I came across Shimelle's Go Now Go collection, which I felt was a lovely compliment, and carried the feeling of fall travel that I wanted for this month's kit.<br />
<br />
Here are the papers that I chose:<br />

<br />
Instead of adding a bunch of flowers, gems, and ephemera to my kit, I selected a handful of colorful leaves, a few small flowers, and a few die cuts from my scrap bin. I added a partially used sheet of puffy stickers, some sequins, and two rolls of golden washi tape:<br />

I have so many kits sitting unused in my raskog cart-this kit is making me really want to dive back into my pretty papers! My plan is to order a batch of fresh photos- that and this kit should be a great jumpstart to my mojo!<br />
<br />
It seemed very appropriate to name this kit after one of my favorite poems:<br />
<h2 class="node__title node-title" style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; word-wrap: break-word;">
The Road Not Taken</h2>
<div class="content" style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif;">
<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden">
<div class="field-items">
<div class="field-item even">
<pre>Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.</pre>

Yes, I did make a digital kit for this month-lately, digital/app scrapping is all I seem to be able to squeeze in, and I am trying feverishly to finish my Disney 2016 book before we go back at the end of the month. Not sure if I can complete it or not, but I will definitely "give it the old college try".<br />
<br />
My kit is a mix of digi files from my computer, some Ali Edwards, some old digis from 2 Peas, etc. I am excited to incorporate this kit into my PL App scrapping this month!<br />
Here's the list of CKC designers to visit and see all of their lovely kits.<br />

When I first started pulling papers for my kit, I started with <i>bright colors, a large circle print, a small floral, and a lovely spring green and teal pattern</i>. I then pulled out my scrap bin, and pulled out yellows, blues, pinks, and a bit of green, looking for some small pieces for layering, and for a few patterns that would work as cut-aparts. Now trust me, it was so tempting to pull out fresh embellishments, but for this mini kit, I was challenging myself to use scraps and open packages , so I found lots of great opened/partially used supplies: several different types of Thickers, a couple of opened die cut packs that still have a bunch of lovely pieces inside (aren't those acetate pieces gorgeous?), puffy stickers that are almost gone, enamel bits that I have only used a few of, and some leftover gold glitter words. While the new stash is always tempting, I am actually looking forward to using up a bit of stash in this way...and I am determined to pitch it into the trash if I don't use it. And I have some really gorgeous papers in this kit that I can't wait to use, so it shouldn't be too hard.</div>

After a bit of a crafty hiatus, I have had the chance to do a little crafting this month, and one of the first things that I did with my Counterfeit Kit for this month was to make a project for challenge #2/Take 6:<br />
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>June is the sixth month of the year, so we're going to celebrate that by using six of something on a project. It's your choice: you can try six patterned papers, six die-cuts, six buttons, etc. Maybe you'd like to try adding six photos to your layout or even a six-letter title. Just be sure to play along by including six of something!</i></span></blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was excited to use this kit, since I love the pretty colors and patterns. I knew that the Crate Paper Craft Market wood veneer hoops would work perfectly with the story of this page, all about the kids on the 8th grade trip learning how to play some very simple games that the pilgrim children played when we visited Colonial Williamsburg. Ifollowed the challenge by using 6 wood veneer pieces, 6 stickers from the rose gold sticker sheet, and 6 pieces from the die cut pack. What a great way to use up some stash!</span></div>

Good morning! It's so hard to believe that it's already June! These last couple of months have just whizzed by in a blur, with my oldest daughter's high school graduation, and all of the busyness that goes along with that. But I'm excited to do a little crafting, and our June kits will be the perfect little jumpstart to my mojo. This month, we are taking inspiration from the May<a href="https://felicityjane.com/collections/willow/products/may-kit-willow"> Felicity Jane kits</a>:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x4Te0kjTFzM/WS9bTdmp9oI/AAAAAAAB2sY/WAkJ-PxPkkggtYAMj6EzNF3r2tdpz-c4gCLcB/s1600/FJ_Willow_Kit-02.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x4Te0kjTFzM/WS9bTdmp9oI/AAAAAAAB2sY/WAkJ-PxPkkggtYAMj6EzNF3r2tdpz-c4gCLcB/s640/FJ_Willow_Kit-02.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the colors and feminine feel to the Felicity Jane kits! As I was pulling supplies for my kit, "Summer Dreams" from my stash, I took inspiration from the soft pinks and rose golds, swapping the soft blue for just a bit of mint green, and adding some bows and awesome paper clips into the mix.</div>

The kids are heavily involved in sports right now (I'm typing this post up late at night after a soccer game), so there's not a lot of free time for mama to blog at the moment, but I will get back to sharing more soon, I promise! </div>

Have cup of coffee and a quick hop around to get some more kit making inspiration!</div>

This month, I am on the mini kit team, so I made a mini kit that I added on to my main kit. I took inspiration from the Hip Kit February embellishment kit:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's my mini kit:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RNijE0DYC50/WLonTH3f4hI/AAAAAAABuTM/pdKzrtoXfCwhTUfvuwKGgLy0InnyWrXfgCPcB/s1600/IMG_3360.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RNijE0DYC50/WLonTH3f4hI/AAAAAAABuTM/pdKzrtoXfCwhTUfvuwKGgLy0InnyWrXfgCPcB/s640/IMG_3360.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
They had a color add-on as well:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wjDF7gSUiGQ/WKHQwRiTlDI/AAAAAAABrRs/z9PwewUfwZwRCUNeMmNRJtg-csuBHQv2ACPcB/s1600/0001045_february-2017-color-kit.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wjDF7gSUiGQ/WKHQwRiTlDI/AAAAAAABrRs/z9PwewUfwZwRCUNeMmNRJtg-csuBHQv2ACPcB/s1600/0001045_february-2017-color-kit.jpeg" /></a><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wjDF7gSUiGQ/WKHQwRiTlDI/AAAAAAABrRs/z9PwewUfwZwRCUNeMmNRJtg-csuBHQv2ACPcB/s1600/0001045_february-2017-color-kit.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wjDF7gSUiGQ/WKHQwRiTlDI/AAAAAAABrRs/z9PwewUfwZwRCUNeMmNRJtg-csuBHQv2ACPcB/s1600/0001045_february-2017-color-kit.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black;">So I chose to make one for my kit, as well:</span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Here's a quick video reveal that I did of these kits:<br />

<br />
Part of the mini kit team responsibility is a challenge to use the products in your mini kit, so I made a layout:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YkWNHKhqNcE/WLydBxo4mnI/AAAAAAABukY/VfJzSg-EAOc8kEsJ48RoswHYq96SUmYVgCPcB/s1600/IMG_3575.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YkWNHKhqNcE/WLydBxo4mnI/AAAAAAABukY/VfJzSg-EAOc8kEsJ48RoswHYq96SUmYVgCPcB/s640/IMG_3575.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I used lots of products from all of my kits papers from my main kit, and Sand Castle and Craft Market 8x8 and 6x6 papers in layering, paint and heart stencil from my color kit, tags from my add-on, fussy cut butterflies from the Monarch paper by Maggie Holmes (main kit)and bits of the camera paper,along with hearts punched from a piece of the 6x6 paper pad. Here's a closer look at the details:<br />

This month, I was in charge of choosing the Kit-to-Counterfeit, plus I am a part of the mini kit team. But I am a rule breaker, lol! I couldn't resist putting together a full kit, because I got so many of the items that are in the main inspiration kit this month. I'll still have a mini/add-on kit and small project to reveal on the 6th with the rest of the mini kit team, but today, I have a main kit for March.<br />
<br />
The kit that we were to be inspired by this month is the <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/february-2017">February Hip Kit Club kit</a>:<br />

Here's a closer look at the embellishments; I added a few bits from the leftover sticker sheets that I am trying to use up, as well:<br />

I pulled out a page that I had made a while ago (6 months or more). I looked it over, made some mental notes about what I liked about it, and then started a new page using my <a href="http://scrappinmargie.blogspot.com/2017/02/2017-february-counterfeit-kit-challenge.html">February Counterfeit Kit</a> :<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kp8PgEvkDow/WJ3Q5MZZ95I/AAAAAAABrEc/iGz48QEPEEcJatbVkuksZaWV-ml1tM1ZQCLcB/s1600/IMG_8065.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kp8PgEvkDow/WJ3Q5MZZ95I/AAAAAAABrEc/iGz48QEPEEcJatbVkuksZaWV-ml1tM1ZQCLcB/s640/IMG_8065.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I used my November CKCB kit:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gFxNvhS_O30/WBgLQ22Av3I/AAAAAAABfEY/01p5dNql3g0-S_qwRD0DGfrw3L-VrVrVwCPcB/s1600/IMG_7508.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gFxNvhS_O30/WBgLQ22Av3I/AAAAAAABfEY/01p5dNql3g0-S_qwRD0DGfrw3L-VrVrVwCPcB/s640/IMG_7508.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This design was perfect for using up the off cuts and bits of scraps that were leftover in this kit, and I tucked in a few flower die cuts, chipboard, and fussy cut frames:<br />

<br />
Like these:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Well, I was working through a stack of these, making pages, so thought I would share the pages that I have completed from these page bases.<br />
I have a few from my April Secret Garden kit:<br />

For my homework today, I chose to use a grid design, and my Counterfeit kit from November:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gFxNvhS_O30/WBgLQ22Av3I/AAAAAAABfEU/IX8730ZNBYER3ZxX1oPJS-zJ1TuyEOicACLcB/s1600/IMG_7508.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gFxNvhS_O30/WBgLQ22Av3I/AAAAAAABfEU/IX8730ZNBYER3ZxX1oPJS-zJ1TuyEOicACLcB/s640/IMG_7508.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For embellishments and the title, I used bits and pieces from various leftover sticker and chipboard sheets:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FPJ7r-XwvaU/WJqAPom3XCI/AAAAAAABq44/Qoe1rBFbqIUnyy6ZmdqDiQ6ZpqOYTGQGACLcB/s1600/IMG_7986.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FPJ7r-XwvaU/WJqAPom3XCI/AAAAAAABq44/Qoe1rBFbqIUnyy6ZmdqDiQ6ZpqOYTGQGACLcB/s640/IMG_7986.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I scrapped photos of the beautiful detail work of Union Station. These photos didn't really have a longer story, I just thought that they were pretty, so it was perfect to use them for this design, since the grid was able to take the place of a long journaling card. This is one of my favorite pages inspired by the class, so far!</div>

Today, I have a little something different to share with you! I did a little online shopping after this most recent CHA, and I was so excited about my new goodies, that I just had to make a video to share it with you all. I would love to have you pop over to my youtube channel and have a look!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also did a short "haul" video to show you my new planner, and the set up I will be using for that this year.<br />
