Scrapbooking in January: Counterfeit Kit Layout 7

I did it! I officially "killed" my January Counterfeit Kit, Tip of the Iceberg. I was so excited to get a lot of winter themed layouts done this time around, along with a couple of travel ones. I actually almost finished an entire 12x12 sticker sheet, too! That almost never happens - especially one that was purchased so recently. I am calling this a win, for sure. 

I have some time now before February begins to work on my November Hip Kit. I am so far behind on using up my Hip Kits! This one is just lovely, too.

Looks like I can finish doing some more winter-themed layouts with this kit! In colors other than the navy I used all throughout my Counterfeit Kit. I have plenty of winter photos so this works out great.

For this layout that I completed with my January Counterfeit Kit, I followed a sketch from Hip Kits Club. I cut up a lot of pieces of one paper and layered them behind a photo. The sketch had so many layers and it looked all crazy in the middle so I hope I accomplished that!

This next layout was done using my January Counterfeit Kit. I used another Scraplift challenge from Paper Issues facebook group to complete the layout. 

This time I did a travel themed page instead of the winter themed ones I keep doing. I cannot wait for warmer days ahead!

This is a sketch challenge from Paper Issues. I used my January Counterfeit kit to complete the challenge. I do love a good sketch challenge. This is the first one I've done this year!

I am really killing this Counterfeit Kit! I might have to pull out my next Hip Kit soon!

The next challenge I did was one of the "pick 5" from Paper Issues facebook group. I used my Counterfeit Kit for January to make the layout. 

The pictures of my son's Kindergarten Jr. Winter Show were terrible. I had the heads of other parents in all the shots covering up the kids' feet and on the sides of the shots. So many people were there trying to get their pictures in and all I had was my phone. I still wanted to have a layout in my album, though - especially the cute air hug my son gave me from stage.

Moving on to another Paper Issues Facebook Challenge. I used my Counterfeit Kit  "Tip of the Iceberg" for the challenge, which was to be inspired by a winter-themed quote they posted.

I busted out my January Counterfeit Kit, Tip of the Iceberg, to complete a challenge from a Facebook group. I made sure there was winter themed items in this kit and it worked out for a snowy day picture.

I don't normally use the Silhouette for titles on the scrapbook pages but I was very happy to give it a try.

It's a new year!! Yay! 

This week I am working with my October Hip Kit. I had taken a break from Scrapbooking for most of December since I was so busy with daily activities with my family. Now I can get back into the swing of things and catch up on some of my kits. 

I adore this kit. It has navys and such pretty blues and pinks. Gold accents were available in the thickers and the ephemera pack. I have made a few pages earlier on in November with the kit but I still have a lot left to work on. Here are two layouts I just made with the kit. 

January 1st was the other day and the new Counterfeit Kit is up! I'm excited to get started with it. I am hoping to complete some challenges using the kit and some other things around the room. 

Here is the inspiration: 

And here is my take, called Tip of the Iceberg:

I focused on the different shades of blues, some naturals, and lots of extra pieces to use. I am happy with it and how lovely those colors are!
