Welcome to
Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! In June 2020 I had the great honor for being asked to serve as Guest Designer for
Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog.
CKC's Master Forger Tara served as the hostess. She picked the inspirational kit that I based my copy-cat kit on as well as the main Challenges for the month. I participated in the first of the month reveal to show my kit of papers and embellishments. I had my forgeries made at that time too so they were included in that first posting and again for June 4th Forgeries on the Fourth posting. Then I participated in the 1st challenge titled "Wonderful World".

This card will also be seen further down in the posting. I'm using it here as a featured photo because I used 3 washi tapes, 1 patterned paper section, 2 foil butterflies, 1 pink fabric flower, and 3 puffy heart stickers from my June kit for CKC!!!
This is what started the very creative month for me:
Here's the collage photo for the selected kit for June 2020 at

These are a few of my paper and embellishment snapshots for the compilation I referred to as "
Nature's Splendor in Petals and Wings" which is a nod to lots of flowers and butterflies I included in my kit.
These are my kit projects for the month:

Wow! Lots and lots of variety in occasions, digital images, lettering, and some additional embellishments along with solid color cardstocks for either card or layout bases or for printing the digital images on.
And guess what????!!! There are still scraps and full sheets left as well as embellishments from this compiled kit however I did put a dent into the piles!!! And it was a lot of creative fun seeing how I could use everything for so many different situations.
