another kit another month

When I looked at the kit chosen for Counterfeit Kit this month I realised i had almost all of the papers that the kit contained! But the papers are new and I didn't really want to use them in my kit so instead I went through my older papers to replicate the kit
the three main colours of the kit are pale blue, orange and brown so I found myself a palette of papers using  the same colours including some American Crafts, Studio Calico, Brenda Pinninck, Anna Griffin, October Afternoon and Basic grey
Embellishments are my weak point so I pulled out the basics, tags, butterflies, some label stickers, bingo cards and Jillibean report cards


This is the original kit

    LOL - it looks like nobody wanted to include pink in their version of the Home Sweet Home kit - well done for using up old stash rather than using the exact papers.

    Looks a nice kit well done on using old instead of the new.

    I love that you made your own kit with some of your stash instead of using the new items from the kit. I wouldn't have been able to stop myself from adding them.

    That makes me laugh! I do the same thing, if I see that I have a sheet that is in the inspiration kit, I'll opt to find something else (unless its a kit from last year that we're counterfeiting). I love what you did from your old stash!

    Good for you for using up the older stash first - you've got some lovely patterns there. And like you, sometimes, I find that picking the embellishments is the hardest part - and then actually using what embellishments I picked is even harder.

    using up my older stash is usually my main objective for making up these kits, so I'm right there with you on that one! You've made a really lovely one this month and I love the combination of colours.
