Counterfeit Kit Challenge Feb

My whole kit minus stamping and alterable add ons

So a good friend, Bethany, and her friend Meridy set this awesome challenge blog up last month. I was unable to play but I was determined to play this month. The inspiration kit was very dark and sexy. I tried to mimic what I knew I would use and it DEFINITELY has my own spin on it. I stuck with pink/black/white/cream/silver color theme. I am not sure how the ladies do this every month. I kept adding and adding and it looked like a TON all piled up on my desk but really is not. I also added a stamping add on and an altering add on since I have plans to make a lot of my embellishments. I sure hope the PLANS work out LOL!

The basis of my kit is from Echo Park Be mine, I used four pieces of patterned paper from there, threw in some basic polka dots, stripes, glitter and even a little Tim Holtz for good measure. My embellishments include chipboard shapes, grunge board cuts from Nancy (thank you!), sticko shimmer dots, pearls, lace, lots of various textured trims, flowers and buttons. I added three sets of alphabet stickers, along with a few sets of alphabet stamps. My color add on is just basic ink, shimmer spray, Glacier Glimmer mist and a pearl pen. I will also have lots of doodling so I will use lots of pens not included.

OK what do you think?

Pattern paper
Card stock (I usually only use Kraft but added some cork/canvas/ledger/and black)
Trim kit minus the one that I plan to make!
Embellishments (bingo cards from Kim thanks hon!), alphabets, chipboards, and color add on.
Stamping kit, I may not use them all but I have some cards and alterables to do this month too.
Alterable kit: frame for a gift next week, two mini notebooks, felt for flowers, crepe paper for borders and paper tape for trims. We will see if I actually USE this kit.

What do you think? I had fun pulling it out and really had to say STOP that is enough!
