Kill A Kit - July - 18 Layouts Completed

The "killed" kit and the next project getting ready to start.

For July the Counterfeit Kit Club used the Noel Mignon Kit - Balboa kit for their inspiration. I love this kit, because it full of lovely bright colors that have been paired with chalkboard and black for balance.

I wanted an emphasis on patterned paper this month, since I am working on my Destash Paper Challenge.

Here's what I have left from my July kit:

Cardstock -

Bazzill - 12 x 12 Cardstock - Canvas Bling Texture - Feather Boa (2 Sheets)
Bazzill - 12 x 12 Cardstock - Grasscloth Texture - Navajo (1 Sheets)
Bazzill - 12 x 12 Cardstock - Canvas Bling Texture - String of Pearls (1 Sheets)
Bazzill - 12 x 12 Cardstock - Shimmer (it doesn't have a color name but its lighter than the Navajo like a sea green or a teal - 1 Sheet)

Another of my favorite layouts this month.
Inspired by the Counterfeit Kit Club Triangle Challenge.

You have already seen parts of my July Kit through the last the Destash challenges for July, but if you missed them check out the following posts for all the layouts that I did with this kit: Destash Paper Challenge, Throwback Thursday - Bathtime, Destash - Scraplike Paige Evans, Destash - Time for Scraps, ICAD Challenge Plus Mist Staining Tutorial (Week 4), and Destash - Scrap Your Scraps.

Again, I tried to do a kill a kit video and it went wonky (sideways to be precise). I really am about to give up on the tablet and buy a camera. Maybe for Christmas! Oh well. Nonetheless, I do apologize.

This month I used up 17 sheets of paper from my stash and completed 18 layouts! Woohoo! Check back next week for my August kit to go along with this month's destash project - Destashing Themed and Mini Album Supplies.
