For Challenge 2 at the Counterfeitkit Challenge blog, we challenge you to use BIG titles!  Get those Thickers and die cut titles out and use em up!

For this challenge, I did two layouts1  One using  a store bought title:

And for the other, I just grabbed a paint brush, some Tim Holtz ink, wrote out my title and painted it!  added in some watercolor for a little mixed media look...Easy peasy!

Hope you'll hop over to the Counterfeit blog and see what the other Master Forgers have created and that we'll inspire you to USE THAT STASH!!!

 Using my March Counterfeit kit and racking up some Calvinball points while I'm at it!  

 It's that time for the Master Forgers at Counterfeitkit Challenge blog Challenge #2!! Show us what makes you happy!!

This is my twin sister, nickname KalaDala... we're fraternal- ying and yang, night and day -She's my caring,  compassionate, sweet side and she makes me happy!

 Happy New Year!  Welcome to 2022, a fresh new year and a new year of making Counterfeit Kits!! For January, we've picked a digital kit from Traci Reed Designs called On the Go and Going Slow.  

Fist things that caught my eye:  REPETITIVE WORDS, DOTS, STRIPES, SCALLOPS, AND FLORALS

no, not sick like cough cough or sick like mentally insane (although to some I might be!!?) ...but "sick" like in the secondary (urban) definition meaning cool or awesome....For example, "Dude, that party last night was sick; you shoulda been there!" I say sick cause I am up to layout # 6  with my January Counterfeit Kit and I still got some days left in the month to maybe tweak out 2 more creations!!! 
 

I keep rededicating myself to using stash...so what better way than to accept some challenges so I can use it quicker?    The bff Caryn sent me a page full of artsy challenge links...and so, I got started.   Challenge #1 that inspired me was from a new blog- Crafting Marfa....October's challenge is to use stash and to use multiple photos...Here's what I came up with...scrapping some oldies-pictures of Thing 1 in the age BEFORE we had digital cameras :):):):)   And to think,  13 years later, she still gives me grief when I take too many pictures !!!

Supplies: (stash)

• Chipboard:  Cosmo Cricket: Togetherness Ready-Set-Chip
• Button:  Studio Calico
• dollar store doily
• Chipboard:  Crate Paper Story Teller
• Papers:  American Crafts Neopolitan collection,  Recollections Kraft paper from Michaels
• Thickers:  American Crafts

use my stash that is...Jen Priest  (one of the previous CSD girls-aka the  Hydrangea Hippo) has tons of challenges and inspiration on her blog & one of her February challenges is to dust off those rubons!!  We all know we have them and after I actually cleaned the table, straightened the closet and looked around, I found TONS of them; some of them I had bought when Recollections was still in business {I know, I should be ashamed to be such a hoarder.}...anyway, I found this cool distressed one created by Dee Gallimore-Perry for My Minds Eye sitting in a tote waiting to be used...I broke it up in parts and rubbed it everywhere, then combined it with some Quick Quotes, American Crafts and Creative Imaginations rubons for what I thought was a cool page of Thing 2 back when he HAD to wear the hearing aids for insurance purposes even though they didn't work (dumb)....another story....
** I just loved that in this picture, he was FINALLY healthy and such a happy cutie !

Our next challenge is called Cupid's Arrow Challenge and yup, it involves ARROWS!!!!  
It's February....V-day is almost here....it's a time for love and roses and chocolates.  Well, We Lollipop Girls know something you all don't know. Cupid had an accident and love is being delayed.  We couldn't forget about those that will spend the holiday alone this year because of this. So, our first challenge for February will be based around "Cupid's Arrow" to represent all the single ladies that need cupid to hit someone in the butt soon. ;-)

Some of us have found some of the arrows (as you can see here) -I actually found 3 woop woop!!
So, show us your creations for this challenge on the CSD blog !!!  It doesn't have to be a layout, but we'd love it if you used some arrows....our sponsor this month is Generations Crafting !!!
