October Counterfeit Kit

 Another month rolls by and here we are in October! The weather is getting warmer, the spring flowers are out and In USA it's Fall or Autumn to us Aussies.

This kit has a definite Autumnal feel as well as farm/country ideas.

Our Guest is Liz Hays Getter and a big welcome to her.

With autumn/haystacks/sunflowers and denim in my mind, I came up with my kit "Hoedown time "

(Did I ever tell you I used to do square dancing? )

Firstly, my papers.

I have 6 sheets of that rose paper top left so put them all in my kit. There's a couple of plaids and some tiny geometrics.

Next my embellishments,

I added ric-rac braid and vintage lace to get the country vibe. There's a couple of journal cards with an autumn theme plus some punched flowers and die cut flowers as well.I added some neutral tags plus twine.

Now here's the blog hop.

Have a happy month scrapping.

Shopping our stash

 Shopping our stash wants leaves.

I've just made this card to say thank you to a friend.

While I was there, I made this second card using the same background paper.

Farmquest and cardz4guyz

 The challenge at Farmquest is farmyard cutting tools.

I searched high and low and finally found this journal card which I made into a birthday card for a grandfather,

At Card 4 guyz they want embossing.

I made this card for a friend's son because it is his birthday. I put the 2 tags through a floral embossing but chose manly colours. 

Sketches in Thyme -last September sketch

 

Here's the end of the month sketch at Sketches in Thyme.

I've chosen 3 photos from a friend's beautiful garden at Port Macquarie.

I used several narrow branding strips from papers. Most had a floral theme so that worked well. I had a Kaisercraft strip of flowers so used that across the top. I added extra small leaves on the right-hand side because my 3 photos are off centre slightly. 

Colour my heart colour dare challenge and Lil patch of crafting friends. .

 

I've made this card for  Colour my Heart Colour dare challenge. #618

The pink is as close as I had to the salmon colour.

I used the remaining pink triangles on this following card for Little Patch of Crafting Friends.

I'm using it as a sympathy card for a close friend's Mum.

Crafty Gals corner

 I've made this card for crafty gals corner.

They asked for ribbon on a card.

I've used 2 strips of ribbon plus some antique lace.

Next, I made this card with a summer theme. I still have some St Tropez journalling cards from Prima which are summer beach themed. I used this one with background paper featuring flip flops (thongs here in Australia). Then I had some stickers of bikini girls so used 2 on this card.

I'm entering this at A place to start.
