July Counterfeit Kit and Social Media Hop
Welcome to July's Counterfeit Kit and Social Media Hop. Ryan is the Master Forger in charge this month. You should have arrived here from Brandi. As usual the full hop is listed below. Ryan has selected Moonlit Collection by Traci Reed. It has a Summer Nights vibe which should appeal to anyone who enjoys evening activities in their summertime. It is a pretty vestal kit.
Our Guest Designer this month is Lacy Stockton. She says, "Hi, I’m Lacy Stockton
and I live in a boy’s world, married to my playful husband and we share three
beautiful boys, plus my “Baby,” Zuko (our Boston Terrier) and only other female
influence, a tabby cat named Paisley. I began scrapbooking in 1998 when I
purchased an idea magazine and scrap lifted every layout from the book,
starting my passion for the creative, hands-on art of documenting life.
Currently, I am primarily a Creative Memories scrapper, as I love the
coordinating collections, but have years’ worth of supplies that mostly
remained stored until I was introduced to this group. I am really
enjoying reinventing a purpose in old supplies and combining it in ways I
wouldn’t put together otherwise through the inspiration kits. I love being
involved in the challenges as I am a list maker/checker, and the challenges
feel like assignments giving me criteria to complete. I’ve only been
involved for a few months and already have been excited to create layouts with
old supplies that have happily found a home in a scrapbook. I look
forward to a well themed event to assure a more scrapbook content, and it’s
very common for me to take a photo knowing something will match scrapbook paper
I already own. This is a photo from my “Clue” birthday party when I
dressed as Mrs. White."
Lacy will be posting her layouts on the Counterfeit Kit Facebook page. Please give her a warm welcome.
Here is my July CKC - These Moments.
I have a variety of papers. I tried to stay to the darker side, but I have added in a few lighter colors.
As for my embellishments I have a wide variety, a couple of cut- a-parts, sticker sheet, I have one alphabet picked out, enamel dots and some chipboard.
Various Flowers, DIY Enamel dots, ribbon, wood veneer words, cameras, buttons, labels, tabs, and paperclips.
More cut-a-parts, chipboard and chipboard frames, bare chipboard, tasses, tags, stamped images and some puffy stickers.
I've added in my circle dies and punches, a couple of Cricut Cuts from various cartridges, Stamps, glitter and sequins.

Counterfeit Kit Challenge #2 - Color Explosion!
Welcome to Counte3rfeit Kit's challenge #2 - Color Explosion! Laura asked us to create a layout bursting with color, using vibrant hues and playful patterns to express joy and creativity. There is no journaling as it is part of Darcy's birthday pictures for Katie's album, the picture is of Grandpa Mark and Darcy.
I used the Distress ink in picked raspberry, peacock feather, and twisted citron. I have the mini–ink pads. I used the ink pad on white cardstock to make my background, just inkpad to paper. This is my Vibrant hues paper.
From my stash I found the "love" cut is from a Cricut cartridge that was already cut out, the butterflies are ones that I have fuzzy cut out of other pattern paper and keep in a small container for future use. I glued the butterfly body and used foam dots behind the butterfly wings to give dimension.,
I did get a picked raspberry smudge where the bottom left had side cluster is. I used a word sticker and flower from the Carpe Diem sticker book and another butterfly.

Layout using Forgery on the Fourth
From my June Counterfeit Kit - CKC June 2024 - Bright and Bold, I am using my Ray of Sunshine Forgery paper, post is here.
My paper is 8 1/2 x 11, the photo I am scrapping goes into my youngest album and this the size he chose.
The is part of a two-page layout. The Minnesota Vikings had a fundraiser at the Vikings new training center a couple of years ago. When you signed up you scaled a walled of the training center and got you picture taken with him.
I pulled in a scrap of red to mat the photo and trimmed down the white cardstock to mat on black cardstock.
Distress ink: mustard seed and fossilized amber
Thanks for stopping by.

Counterfeit Kit Challenge - Forgeries on the Fourth
Ourt inspiration kit this month is 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Sunburst collection. Here is a preview of the Kit:
I really like the yellow "Ray of Sunshine" paper, but I do not have this paper.(Vintage Artistry Sunburst - Ray of Sunshine - 49 and Market).
I find the distress paper hard to use, but this one was calling my name. I pulled out my Cricut cartridge Artbooking and played around with the cut on page 15.
For my forged paper I used Distress ink in fossilized amber and mustard seed. This paper is for an * 1/2 x 11 layout. I outside the top, so I just extended the ink beyond the border. No can really tell until you lay the stencil on the top.
