November 2022 Counterfeit Kit
Hey there! I am excited to be the Guest Designer once again for the November 2022 Counterfeit Kit Challenge. I always enjoy playing along with their challenge to use your stash.
This month the kit was picked by Lisa Hausmann & this is what she had to say about the inspiration kit:
“I wanted to find a different kit – something that can take us in different direction depending on where we are and how we feel about this time of year – you know that this is my FAVOURITE time of year and I think it has the right hint of autumn for me!”
Here is the kit that Lisa chose:
Scrapbook Werkstatt – October 2022 – Herbstzauber
It is a bright, colorful kit with cut apart sheets, lots of die cuts and gold letter stickers. It also has a cozy feel with sentiments about self-care, road trips & life right now.
Color is always the first thing that catches my eye, so I pulled some colors from one of the cut apart sheets & then added in a LOT of die cuts, some stickers, enamel dots and flowers. I even had a sheet of gold letter stickers.
So here is my version of the kit:
November 2022 Counterfeit Kit: “Everyday”
Now lets break it down a little so you can really see the details.
For the papers, I tried to pull some of the colors but also the patterns. There was a lot of variety in the inspiration kit. There are some circles, stripes and a ledger print. I have added some solid scraps and a flower cut apart as well.
Next are the stickers. I had a couple of partially used sticker sheets with labels, tags and coupons. There are sentiments for family, travel and life in general. Also included are the gold letter stickers.
Now let’s look at some of the die cuts. I admit I went a little overboard here, but I have SO many of these type embellishments in my stash. There were quite a few in the inspiration kit, too.
There are some 3×4 cards, fun sentiments, circles, gold accents and even a couple of little notebook paper journaling cards.
And, last but not least, we have a few more die cuts, paper flowers & enamel dots.
I hope that this inspires you to make a kit of your own and gives you ideas about different starting points. It can be color, type of supplies or even just the general feeling of the kit.

Welcome to CKC Machelle as our guest designer. I love the direction you have taken with this kit and the very useful and colourful components.
Thank you! I was worried at first about the bold, bright colors as that is not usually my style, but once I saw the navy blue & some of the other elements it all came together well. I’m looking forward to diving in & making a page!
Lovely kit, I really like the addition of the purple you added in. Thanks so much for joining us this month. Have fun.
Thank you! Purple is not a color I use much so we will see how that goes, but it was actually one of the first papers I pulled from the inspiration of the one cut apart sheet.
So glad to have you as our Guest Designer again, Machelle! What a fantastic kit you have put together! I really love the direction you took it!! Have lots of fun creating with it this month!
Thank you Tara! I always love seeing all the layouts you create. I can’t wait to get started with this kit – just have to wait until after work. LOL!
Oh nicely done Machelle! I love some of the rich colors that come through in your kit. It’s a really good mix of things to play with. Enjoy!
Thank you Susanne! I am excited to start playing with it for sure. I was very happy with the way it came together, especially the papers. I tend to use more jewel tones and smaller patterns.
I love the rich color palette you went with. I know I pulled purple from the inspiration as well!
Thank you! Yes, the purple was the first thing that jumped out at me. Looking forward to seeing how you use it in your projects, too.
