Hi and welcome to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Members Blog Hop. Each month we have so many talented and inspiring scrappers joining in on the counterfeiting fun that it's great to have a place to showcase them. Sit back, relax and enjoy this blog-gallery tour including Master Forgers and the amazing CKC participants.
This month Challenge #1 was hardly a challenge at all! We were to be inspired by one of our Master Forgers. Actually, the true challenge was in trying to narrow down all of the wonderful choices! After much perusing and hemming and hawing, I decided on Master Forger Dawn's mini book she had created about her husband as seen here. I love all the little bits and pieces she added and this was a perfect way to use up some of those end-of-the-kit scraps. Here is my creation:
While I didn't create a mini book, I translated those tags into a 12x12 layout. It's fun to a have many little canvases to create vignettes. This little shop in the shore community of Ocean City, New Jersey is a favorite of mine. The owner carries a unique mix of antiques, shabby chic furniture and well-chosen new items that fit that beachy feel. I like to say it's "Country Living" meets "Coastal Living". In each one of my "vignettes" I tried to include embellies that evoke the feel of the shop: pom-pom fringe, well-worn denim, lace doilies, a wood veneer ship in a bottle and of course, gingham, for the Gingham Whale!
Thank you, Dawn for your creativity and inspiration! Remember, if you are ever stuck in a rut or don't feel you've got your scrappy mojo, be SHORE (hehehe!) to check out the blogs of your Master Forgers and the faithful followers of the Counterfeit Kit Challenge.
Now go hop along and be inspired! Your next stop is Milissa.

ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using tags as mini pages on a LO, will definitely be lifting this one very soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat page, great lift!
What a clever lift! I love everything about it
ReplyDeleteTurned out FAB - I especially like the washi as a photo mat, the one rogue tag reined in by the twine, & as usual, your clever title!
ReplyDeleteSuper clever take on the inspiration. Love this gorgeous layout and love how creative you got.
ReplyDeleteCute! I love the masculine feel of this layout. Definitely worthy of a counterfeit, itself!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful, I LOVE how you used the tags and the papers/embellishments you worked with were just perfect. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI like the way this turned out too cause I am a huge lover of tiny bits and pieces; especially trims and ribbons!!
ReplyDeletebreathtaking.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you from Angela
Your little tags are unbelievably cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLynnette...another WOW from your talented hand. I adore word play and "It's a Shore Thing" will end up in a layout for sure...your transition from Dawn's inspiration to making it your own is what makes you a master counterfeiter. Simply a delight!
ReplyDeleteVery creative take on this. Might have to scraplift your idea.
