Welcome to June (how is that possible???!) and to a new month at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge where MF Kate has picked out the November 2021 kit from Dani Peuss (here) for us.
It's a kit filled with a lot of Paige Evans's Bungalow Lane collection but still has plenty of different colours and motifs to fit different times of year and even different directions of kit. Personally, I love the pinks, blues and kraft tones along with the florals and hearts!
I have quite a lot of the Bungalow Lane collection but I wanted to see what I could do if I started with just one piece of paper from that line and worked through the "feeling" of the kit for my own kit.
So let me introduce you to "Solstice" with a nod to the upcoming mid-summer's day and the florals and shades of summer.
Next up were two sheets of BasicGrey in shades of pink that just happened to catch my eye while I was tidying up and I thought the pinks were perfect.
Then I came across some Buenos Dias and something seemed to match so in they went. Then two spotted papers from Simple Stories and finally, the tag papers from the Bungalow Lane collection as well as some off cuts from the collection and two pieces of Crate Paper which just seemed to need to be included with the florals and birds!
For good measure I also included the Bungalow Lane acetate which is covered in gold and florals - so pretty if I can find a way to include it in my projects!
From there I added in almost all the embellishments else I have in the Bungalow Lane collections because I would really like to get it used up and... why not!
I added in some mini-alphas from Simple Stories in a good selection of shades as well as a few sheets of vellum effect letters from Studio Calico.
My eye then came across some old stickers which need to be used up or else they need to be donated somewhere else, a selection of enamel dots and a handful of washi tape.
And there you have it - a kit fit for summer, for all sorts of layouts and for all sorts of moods. I'm excited where this kit will take me as I haven't had a full kit for a few months and I just unpacked ALL my layout and card kit boxes back into my stash so this is my ONLY kit at the moment! I hope for at least four layouts so watch this space to see how I do.
Here is the full blog hop so you don't miss out on any of the fun or inspiration and don't forget to share your kits and creations in our Facebook Community or on Instagram (we are @counterfeitkitchallenge or tag us using #counterfeitkitchallenge and #ckcjune2022)!
