It is the first of the month and that means a brand new Counterfeit Kit! This has been a busy month. School is out and the kids are home which is always fun. I happen to have some pretty great kids. We have had a great time fishing, swimming, going to some fun library programs and just having fun together. Near the end of June it dawned on me that I did not put together my July kit. YIKES! LOL I had barely thought of scrapping for the month of June. I decided to not be frustrated about my lack of time and just put it out of my head instead. Time to get cracking!
This month we are getting some inspiration from Noel Mingnon's Balboa Kit. It has a lot of fun colors and some great embellishments.
With my last minutes pulls and a raging headache, I'm afraid I ended up with a kit that I hope will grow on me. LOL I have a feeling that I am not the only one who has done that before. Since my head was spinning I decided my best bet was to write down my first impressions and just focus on those.
Here is my list:
Teal, red, orange, green, chalkboard
stripes, dots, frames
washi, labels, chipboard, tags
Then I clicked off of the photo and just focused on pulling things that fit my list. My kit has some papers in it that are not my favorite (they came in collection packs). My first impulse was to pull some specific papers from Echo Park, but I REALLY love them and am not ready to use them yet...LOL...dumb, huh? Maybe the papers will grow on me. Because I still have May and June's kits, I decided to just go with it.
If I had to give myself a grade, I would probably give myself a C. I like some of the pieces of the kit, but all together? I'm just not feeling it. BUT I am going to keep it together and try to use it. Why? Because we all have days like this and it is JUST PAPER! LOL
I have a feeling I will be in love with more than one of the Master Forger's kits. Maybe they will swap me? LOL
Here is the list, so you can see some A+ kits:
