The kit the girls (and that brand new Design Team) have chosen this time round is from a new kit club Front Porch Kits and the link to the kit to copy can be found here. It was a hard one for me to get a feel for at first. I had a couple of false starts before I really looked at that teal and loved it.
I've already used up my stash of "For The Record" , so without that to base my kit around, I decided to take it in a fresh, Spring direction. With linen and Amy Butler fabric, embroidery threads, flowers and butterflies. It probably doesn't look a lot like the original (except for that teal!), but it does look a lot like a kit I think I'll use. What do you think?
Pink Paislee tapes, Prima flowers, linen tag and bird, Making Memories Bamboo Alpha.

It looks very 'you', Sian....looking forward to the finished page.
Sian, the colours and the textures look wonderful - some gorgeous pages to come from that I'm thinking. BTW, thank you for your lovely comments on my posts, they're really appreciated :-)
Yes very spring like and very you. Look forward to seeing the resulting LOs!
A lovely take on the original kit - much more "you" I think. Beautifully photographed as well - looking forward to the results of your labours!
gorgeous and very springy! i've tried my hand at this counterfeiting thing, in a way - it's fun. x
It looks a lot like a kit I'd love to use too. The colours are lovely, soft and subtle. I cannot wait to see your finished layouts using this little lot. It's going to be a good month!
It looks lovely, especially the fabric bird. That's very cute.
Hmmmm, my sort of colours exactly! :-) Lovely Sian, I look forward to seeing the results soon.
Beautiful collection Sian. I am so very tempted to join in the counterfeit thingie. Looking forward to seeing what you do with your kit!
it;s great how you can pull supplies together to get your very own kit. The teal influence has to be Lolly Chops!!
Your kit is so elegant and I love how the blues stand out.
Very pretty and springlike. I'm loving the fabric and lace:)

Sian, THIS is what counterfeiting is all about, making it work for YOU! No sense in putting together a kit you won't use! Thanks for playing at Counterfeit Kit blog!
Gorgeous kit!! I really love your colors and textures!! Can't wait to see what you make with it!!
i see many possibilities in your kit and am looking forward to seeing how you work your magic with it on a layout!
It's gorgeous. And I'm wondering if I even have enough paper stash left to create a counterfeit kit of any kind!
Very oretty...love the aqua crochet lace ribbon.
Excellent job - you narrowed the color palette and it really works well. I can't wait to see what you scrap "for us".
Love your addition of rick rack and lace.
I love how you tweaked the colour palette in your kit! This is so soft with all the lovely greens, yellow and teal! The bird is so sweet. Can't wait to see what you create with this! Wonderful!! :)
I'm doing some organizing today, so maybe I'll actually do this!

It certainly looks like a kit I would use! Very nicely done.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with this yummy 'kit'

I think it looks very like a kit you'd use :-) It looks very like a kit I'd be thrilled to be able to use - I really must have a go at this counterfeit kit idea!!
Hi,
Just dropping in from Shimelle's class. Had not heard of this kit club, very cute. Your layouts are delightful.

What a great post. I'd never heard of the counterfeit kit challenge either, and now I'm excited to try it out.
I think you did a nice job of pulling together a kit. :)
It looks gorgeous, and would be a kit I'd be happy to receive. I think you could go into the kit making business!
some gorgeous spring colours happening there! kind of makes me sad that we're heading into autumn and winter here.
Beautiful colors and I love those bamboo letters!
My first thot was, "i stepped right into something clair would put together":-) i will be watching how it goes with you and this kit.
Beautiful kit-such peaceful colors! I especially love you linen fabric and bird.
I love the kit you have put together. It's perfect.
Late as usual, I just love the colours you have here Sian, yes they seem to be very you.
