100119 CKC October Kit Reveal

October is my birth month (yay, me!) 
and the kit Laura has chosen this month 
is - just like me - a definite throwback...

Let's take a look at
"Brand new October Afternoon Woodland Park conjures 
images of bright blue skies and green grass. 
We've paired it with just-released American Crafts, 
Pebbles and Basic Grey, and finished the mix with 
exclusive die cuts, badges, an alphabet and a label stamp set. 
With our August kit, this summer can last forever."
Studio Calico August 2012 "Summer of '69" Main Kit

Studio Calico August 2012 "Summer of '69" Add On Kits
Here is Laura's intro to the kit & to our October Guest Designer!

Now, I know we always try to stay current for the challenge, but I thought this kit would work so well. 
The name might imply summer, but the colours would work just as well for Autumn or spring layouts. 
Many of us have been scrapping several years now and have a fair amount of stash. 
This kit includes papers from some of the great manufacturers we all used to coo over - October 
Afternoon, Basic Grey etc, so what a perfect way for us to have a rummage and pull out some older stuff 
from our stash to use up.
  
Our guest designer for this month is a lovely follower of ours who plays along almost every month on Instagram. 
Her name is Ayaan Nambier and she is from India. She has a dedicated scrappy profile and creates the most 
beautiful and colourful layouts.
 
 My version begins with the main kit & is sprinkled with pieces from the add-on kits. 

Let's open up the Magic Blue Box & take a look at
Autumn of 2019 


 
I chose my papers based on color & pattern from the inspiration: chevrons, dots, large allover print, sky, 
 small print, navy, kraft swirl.
 
 
2011 Basic Grey/Out of Print 6x6; 2016 Echo Park/Just Be You Dream Big b-side; 2013 October Afternoon/Snapshots Focus b-side; WeRMemory Keepers/Farmers Market floral;  2011 Basic Grey/Plumeria Zig; WeRMemory Keepers/Farmers Market small print; 2018 Pink Paizlee/Indigo & Ivy 06; 2012 Crate Paper/The Pier Cotton Candy. *There is also a hexagon 12x12 paper that went walkabout. I mean - seriously disappeared... I can't wait to see where it turns up!

  Made a few counterfeits, so be sure to return on the fourth to check those out.
 
 Now let's keep hopping!

  7. Gorgeous kit. Love all the patterned paper which you have included and that photo of the dresses is like a kick back in time to how my mum used to dress. Hmm, you are an inspiration...thinking I may do some retro photo layouts of my family in the 60's and 70's.
