Murray Reynolds Falls LO for Sketch N Scrap challenge

Good Morning and welcome. Here we are in the middle of October, the weather was rainy and cold yesterday, Fall is definitely here.
We got a fun challenge over at Sketch N Scrap for the day. This sketch was created by Lori 
 
It's a fantastic sketch, the LOAD prompt of the day was to use green so a waterfalls layout it was.
This is the last waterfalls in the area I was in and was heading back to where the waters meet. Looks like I got about 14 more sets of photos for this particular day to call the album finished :) I enjoyed finding the papers to create this layout from my color drawer other than a couple of scraps from my current counterfeit kit. I also used some embellishments from my kit and ephemera from 49&Market Naturalist collection.

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I created and can't wait to see what you create from this cool sketch over at Sketch N Scrap blog.

Loved This LO for Counterfeit Kit challenge

 Good morning and welcome :) Here's the 1st challenge of the month over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog.

  Challenge #1 - Let's Get Sketchy! Leslie has challenged us to use this sketch. She says:

 Our inspiration kit club had their own sketch:

Check out their reveal post for inspiring creative takes on the sketch. 

This is my take on the sketch:


 I used all my pinks in my kit for this sketch and no stitching, but doodling the circle instead. The crop I attend in July, Kris showed off a bit of her town to Jennifer and I the last day while we were waiting for the store to open. So got to see a cool coffee shop and these cool murals too.

Thank you for stopping by today and seeing what I'm up to in my little corner of the world. I hope you join us over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog for this fun challenge.

CKC - October 2023 Kit Reveal - Blue Skies, Fall Butterflies

 Good Morning and welcome to a new month and a new inspiration kit to counterfeit! October brings LOAD so lots of scrapping and the beauty of Fall is starting to arrive. Leslie has taken up the duties to host this month and she chose a wonderful kit for us to counterfeit :) but 1st you should have arrived here from Tara's blog. We are thrilled to have Laurie Crouse Winiarski as this month's Guest Designer you can find her post on our community facebook page.

 Now for the inspiration kit reveal! I normally prefer not to chose an older kit, but I wanted to use another kit site than the usual plus a color scheme that will work for both ends of the globe in October :-)  Spring might take you lighter & brighter and Fall might shade the peachy/orange to a slightly deeper red on some of your selections. You can trade the flowers for leaves or butterflies for mushrooms!

 Here's my kit for October:

Blue Skies, Fall Butterflies

The chosen kit was a pretty one and surprised that is one collection I never bought. I mix matched papers from paper pads and collections to come up with the kit I have. Using the colors, butterflies, watercolor florals to draw from to put together my kit.
 
My paper choices there are 25 papers in my kit. Lots of florals as I got lots of pictures of summer flowers to still scrap and a few that will work with some Fall layouts too.
I brought in a few mixed media supplies in similiar colors to use and some of the diecuts I want to use too
More flowers, glitter tape and some flair too
Chipboard, Prima butterflies, and some pink flowers too
Some fun stuff from my February embellishment box from Some Assembly Required that worked out perfect with this kit
The chosen Laser cuts package and ephemera package too
To finish it off with some word chipboard, some small alphas and some Bubbles&Baubles.
I'm excited to dig in and get playing with this kit, but first I need to see what the other girls have pulled together and a good place to start is over at Brandi's insta  I'm excited to see how the inspiration moved her for her kit :) and if you get lost here is the full list
