March 2023 Counterfeit Kit Club Blog Inspiration Kit Reveal and Social Media Hop!!!

 It's March 1st!  Yay!!  This means that Spring is around the corner and at the very least, we will start seeing some warmer days!!  I have lots of birds at my feeder in my yard too!  The first of the month ALSO means that it is time for the CKC Inspiration Kit Reveal and Social Media Hop!!  Yay!!  This month, Master Forger Anna, chose a gorgeous kit from Traci Reed Designs!  Here's a look at Time To Thrive by Traci Reed!! 

 Here's the digital kit as well!

Here are some close-ups of the various elements in the kit:

If you aren't familiar with Traci Reed, she has designed collections for a few mainstream companies but this particular kit is almost identical to the collection StoryTeller by Cocoa Vanilla that was designed by Traci Reed.  That is where I started out in my stash dive to curate my own kit for this month.  I also added a few more papers from Felicity Jane and Dear Lizzy to round out some of the patterns.  The bulk of my kit is StoryTeller.  So, without further ado, here's my MAIN KIT:

I separated my large kit (are you even surprised???) into a Main or Base kit and add-ons again for the month of March! Here's my Alpha add-on:

 Pocket Cards:

Miscellaneous Embellishments:

Phrases:

 I also added stamps to my kit but forgot to photograph those.  I added them onto the very end of my kit video which you can find here on my YouTube Chanel:
