10/10/18 - CKC October Kit Reveal

October has been a rough month for me so far!
Nothing specifically bad, I just can't seem to focus...
I'm thinking it was that darn vacation...LOL

Hopefully, it's just temporary as my brain tends to do that every once in a while, a huge side effect from be a sufferer of both depression and anxiety #TruthBomb

Anyway, because of my lack of focus I am a bit behind in getting my Counterfeit Challenge Blog Kit put together for the month.
I like to have it done by the first weekend of the month so I can get scrappin'



Here is the inspiration:

And this is what I came up with (you may recognize some of this stuff from last month):

What I pulled from the inspiration:

- Papers (14 total)

• Flowers

I have 2 flower paper: white BG with large colorful flowers and dark blue BG with small red, light blue, white, and yellow flowers (top row, far right)

• Pink

I have 2 of those: one with stars and one, a darker shade of pink, with polka dots

• Green

Mine has brown hearts on it

• Words

I have 2 of those: one Fall Themed and one Colorful/Everyday themed (the emoji paper)

• Stripes

The Green/Yellow/White Paper - could also fall into the Green Category

• Cut Aparts  

I have 2 sets: a Fall Themed set and Colorful/ Everyday set

• Colorful Multiple Patterned BGs

Everything else, LOL

BTW - I was going to include a wood grain but forgot ::DOH::!


- Embellishments:

• Black and White (square/rectangle) medium and small Letter Stickers
• Word Phrases - though mine are black
• Frames
• PL Cards - to mimic the words w/in the frames embellishments
• Lots of brown
• Buttons - to mimic the sequins because I cannot work w/ sequins, LOL

What I added to play w/:

• A few sheets of misc, partly used, embellishments and alphas - gotta use that stash!
• Scraps - always try to include some of these
• Gold Thickers - cuz currently obsessed
• Washi - because I have so much I need to use
• Cat, Dog, Pig papers and embellishments - cuz, you know, fur-babies/hair-kid ::wink::

-1 is a cut-apart, most are colorful

• 1 Brand New un-opened package of MAMBI stickers -I want to see how much of it I can use
• Date Stamp and Ink
• Black Mist - I always try to use it but never do...maybe this month will be the month ::crosses fingers::

Added Essentials (though I didn't photograph them):

• Black, White and Kraft card stock
• Black Sharpie
• White Gel Pen
• Circle Punch and Template
• File Labels - for journaling
• Adhesive
• The Project Life App

My goal was to mimic the colorfulness of the inspiration kit but also bring in a few darker colors and embellishments because if the fact that it's currently Fall (hence Fall-ish papers and embellishments). I will probably use up a lot of those colorful items but I wanted to have a bit of wiggle room...

BTW - sorry about the bad photos.
The lighting was bad but I knew if I didn't take the photos while I had everything out, I would procrastinate in taking the photos...
I think the only things I do not like about playing along w/ this challenge is trying to get good photos of my kit and having to put away whatever I don't use after the fact, LOL
