May guest designer at Counterfeit Kit!

So excited to put my kit together this month for Counterfeit Kit! HERE was our inspiration kit. What stood out to me the most was all of the florals. If you know me at all, you know I am not a floral scrapbooker. So while I did want to incorporate some of the florals, I knew that was not going to be my focus.

When you're creating your own kits, do not think you have to copy everything exactly. This is an inspiration kit. Maybe you're inspired by a pattern, or an embellishment, or the stamp set, or the washi tape. Whatever you see that sparks your inspiration, go with it! HERE is a video of how I selected my May kit.

The first thing I saw that inspired my whole entire kit was this paper:

This floral frame reminded me of a patterned paper from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. So I pulled it out of my stash as my starting point. Then I looked at the rest of the patterned papers. I see pinks and turquoise and florals ...and a bold black print. Next I go through my stash of patterned papers and pull out anything that fits that description.

Then I noticed there were tons of little die cut embellishment pieces and a stamp set with a pretty scripty font.

I pulled out a few stamp sets and tons of embellishment packs from my stash. Once I had everything gathered, I started narrowing down the color scheme and fine tuning what matched and coordinated.

Here is my final kit:
