100120 CKC October Kit Reveal

 

Seasonal differences in our two hemispheres

Master Forger of Ceremonies Tracy Campbell has a twist of an inspiration kit this month!

Here in Australia it is just starting to get warm again, the spring flowers are popping up bringing lots of colour. A bit different for most of you heading into Fall and seeing the Autumn leaves turn colour. With that in mind, I picked a kit that has both Fall and Spring colours in it, and it is a kit that is a bit different from an ordinary kit club. It is a selection of products put together by a well know scrapper, Shimelle, from a project she has dubbed "The Best of Both Worlds Kit". See how the concept works at this blog LINK.  

A full list of what is included is found at the CKC October Kit Reveal post link in the hop below.

 

I focused on the patterns & products represented for my "Be Happy" kit, using the striped patterned paper as my focal piece.

And don't you know how happy it made ME to include some vintage BasicGrey!

But let's not forget to introduce our October Guest Designer, Machelle Willing. Be sure to visit her blog & get to know her better on the "Porch Ramblings" tab.

 

Hello!  My name is Machelle and I am so happy to be here as the guest designer this month.  My husband, Scott, and I have been married for 21 years and live in Central Texas with our spoiled rotten two dogs and two cats.  I have been scrapbooking for about 20 years now and love all the different ways and sizes you can document your memories.  I also make cards and small home decor items with my supplies.  Recently, I have been learning more about digital scrapbooking as well.  

 

I love the Counterfeit Kit Challenge because it gives you a great starting point for making kits and using what you already have.  The “just the gist of it” series is my favorite because it makes me look at my stash in a new way and gives me options I wouldn’t have thought about otherwise.  I look forward to sharing my ideas with you!

Here's what I put together:
