June 2020 Edition of Counterfeit Kit Challenge!!

A new month means a new Counterfeit Kit to counterfeit!  This month, yours truly has taken over the Counterfeit Kit Club blog and am giving a great kit to curate a look-alike from your very own stash.  No need to go to the store or make an online order!!  Dig through your stuff!!!  

I chose the Wonderful World kit that Clique Kits put out back in March to counterfeit.  They have removed most of the links from their website at this time, but I saved most of the photos when I chose the kit!  Here's the original kit!

There are so many cute papers and embellishments in this kit!  I can see a ton of forgeries coming out of the Master Forgers!  Here's a collage of 9 of the papers in the original kit to help you get a good feel of what is in this kit:

The software I used to make this collage of patterned papers only allowed 9 photos so here are the other two:

So let's talk about how I curated my own version of this kit!! I actually started with the Heidi Swapp rainbow paper included in the original kit.  I have this patterned paper as well as a couple of Heidi Swapp Art Walk patterned papers, so those papers went into my own kit first.  After that, I put in papers that I thought I would use and matched the color scheme!

Left Side:

• American Crafts-Heidi Swapp:  Storyline-Sunnyside "B" side
• Crate Paper-Maggie Holmes:  Chasing Dreams paper pad
• American Crafts-Heidi Swapp:  Art Walk-Blues
• Crate Paper-Maggie Holmes:  Sweet Story-Confection

Right Side:

• American Crafts-Jen Hadfield:  Hey! Hello!-Yellow Roses
• Heidi Swapp:  Hello Today paper pad
• American Crafts-Heidi Swapp:  Storyline-Rainbows
• American Crafts-Heidi Swapp:  Art Walk-Terrace

The next thing I took a look at was the original kits embellishments.  There are some really great ones in this kit!  I looked for a script black alphabet sticker set in my stash.  Initially, I looked in my bin of partially used alpha stickers and didn't find one so I pulled out several other black alpha sets BUT I did find a set of American Crafts Thickers in a black script that were brand new.  I have a bin of unopened Thickers that I keep separate from my other sets.

There were some phrase stickers in the original kit and I have a ton of those in my stash.  I pulled some out that I thought would work with the photos I will be working with this month!  I also dug through my chipboard stash and found some bare chipboard pieces that might work.  There are butterflies in the original kit!!

The next thing I looked at in the original kit was the ephemera package.  It was a Vicki Boutin set and I have it!  So, I included it but also added some other just for good measure!!  I like lots of choices when I scrapbook!  LOL!!!

As you can see from that photo, I also added some other embellishments and a stamp.  The original kit had a cute girl stamp in it and I have several of these by Prima!  I added some butterfly stickers and some Freckled Fawn family name stickers and chipboard phrases.  I also added an Ali Edward's Friends Story Kit from March.  Below is a photo from her site so you can see what's in the envelope-

So, I have created a rather large kit this month but I am very happy with my selections.  I really had to temper myself and not grab EVERYTHING.  I know several of my Master Forger friends have the same problem and I can't wait to see their kits!
