Counterfeit Kit - On the Go & Going Slow (Traci Reed Designs)

 In the Counterfeit Kit Challenge January the kit that was picked is On the Go & Going Slow by Traci Reed Designs

When I saw the kit I knew I had a bunch or stamps & dies that would work.  I browsed through my paper binders and landed on a Quick Quotes paper kit - Sweetbriar, few papers from Hobby Lobby, and scraps from Quick Quotes from Let's Party, #essential, Farmhouse & Tapestry.  I normally like to use dies or stamps for my alphas, but I am adding some of the alpha stickers that are in my stash. I do have my enamel/epoxy shapes, wood, & mixed media in an easy access place when working so I did not add them in the kit.  

What I have in my kit is

The dies I have included are

From Stephanie Barnard and the Stamps of Life

In the “Bee” pouch I have a few coordinating sets

               *Bee4Me

               *Hives4Bees

               *Bee Die Set

               * Bee Triplits (Sizzix-559605)

               *MiniHexagonBackground Stamp

               *Hexagons2Love Stamp & Die Set            

               * Cloud & Hexagon Stencil

In the Butterfly Pouch   

    * Butterfly Fold-It

    * Butterfly2Stamp & Die Set 

    *  Patterns4Butterfly Stamp Set

In the Jar Pouch

    *Jar2Stamp & Die Set

    * Sayings4jar Stamp Set

I only have the dies for the snail from Stamps of Life it came free in one of my Die-Hard Club sets. I never was sure if I would use it be now, I am going to get the matching stamp sets.  (Like I really need an incentive to order more)

 I also included the stamp set “Thanks4OneYear” from Stamps of Life

The only non-Stamps of life is Skelton Leaves by Tim Holtz & Sizzix -663094. It is one of my go-to dies when I am working with any florals.  The only thing I wish I could find would be a smaller set and a larger set. We'll have to see what I can make this month.  

Sketch Saturday #689

So, this whole blog is to get me motivated to use all the pretty papers, fibers, paints & fabrics that I have collected *cough* hoarded *cough* over the last 25+ years.  So, I decided to do as many challenges as possible that I could in my goal of working through my "collection".  My first challenge is Sketch Saturday #689. I have used a few of their sketches in the past but never have joined in the actual challenge.

The Craftlings decided that they wanted to join in the fun and made a card for their art class today. The hardest decision that they had was which type of card to make.  It did not seem to take more that 30 minutes from start to finish once they picked a type & theme.
