Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Challenge #1

 When I was getting ready to go to my retreat I came upon this fun blog where you use a recent kit offered and recreate your own based off of the inspiration kit.  I knew this would be perfect for me to use up some of my stash.  Heaven knows I have a TON to work with.  It's always fun to get a kit and be inspired to create so I thought I'd give this a try.  

Here is the inspiration kit for March:

I was inspired by the different size circles on this so I got to work and this is my end result:

It was fun challenging myself to use products in my kit and I stayed within my created kit.  Try it out for yourself.  There are several challenges to play along with.  Be sure and check back Thursday as I participate in the Member Blog Hop.  Have a great day!
