August Counterfeit kit.

 Ryann has chosen the kit this month.

Shop - Carta Bella Collections - Farmhouse Summer - Echo Park Paper Co

Our guest designer is Nadine Machelle known as Paper Route Scrapbooking on You tube. 

Presenting my kit: THE LONG PADDOCK

In Australia a field is called a paddock. As the papers are lengthy, I came up with the long paddock. 

                                                               PAPERS

For my kit I tried to match the papers by pattern and colour as closely as I could.

They are similar but not the same. 

Mine has wandered into the green shades more. (Funny that as it is my favourite colour!)

I had hardly anything farm related, so went off on a tangent of my own.

EMBELLISHMENTS

I chose retro items that might have a farm house feel.

I found gingham ribbon, ricrac, birds and birdhouses, a bicycle and an airmail envelope.

I also found some 6x6 papers featuring berries.

The washi tapes are red and blue mainly.

Those 2 colours are my main focus in this kit.

The sisterhood of crafters and Time out challenges

 At the sisterhood of crafters they want stripes and dots.

I decided to make a Christmas card.

The paper is striped and the ribbon bow has dots. I think this will appeal to most people.

Next card is for Time out challenges

WE are asked to use 2 or more.

I used 3 :- Transport, stars, stripes.

Sketch 'n' scrap

 

Here's the latest at Sketch and Scrap.

I had a photo of my daughter with her Dad, so used it on the following layout.

Instead of a second photo I used a journalling card. The whole page is from Simple Stories.

I was pleased to use another grey hessian flower plus a lacy flower I cut from a card.

Cardz 4 guyz

 At Cardz 4 guyz they want summer holidays themed cards.

I used vellum on this after putting it through my cuttlebug embosser. It conjures up morning swims at the seaside to me. The cute fish at the bottom could suggest fishing holidays also. 

The male room

 The male room wants cats or dogs.

I found some smaller pieces of October afternoon papers and decided to use them on a card.

Obviously, this is a birthday card for a 2 year old. 

My time to craft and Ellibelle's Corner

 Over at My time to craft they want 2 or more patterned papers. I used 3 on this card.

It is bright and colourful and could work for either male or female.

 This second card is for Ellibelle's Corner where it is anything in a garden. I found a die cut of some flowers so layered papers and a tag under it in pretty colours.

CAS on Sunday

 

The theme at CAS on Sunday is animals. I've made 2 cards using recycled pictures of animals. Take your pick!
