An Autumn Afternoon {November's Counterfeit Kit}

Finally a little bit of me time and I've spent it having some fun putting together my November Counterfeit Kit. This month's inspiration kits were both from The Scraptastic Club and I immediately fell in love with the rich colours of the Autumn Splendor Kit. I don't generally use such rich colours in my scrapbooking, but I knew I had some perfect paper choices hidden away in my stash.

November's Counterfeit Kit

My papers include American Crafts: Hello Sunshine - Spree & Brilliance; Garden Cafe - Petunia's Pastries; Botanique - Amelia; Peachy Keen - Cool Cat, Jitter & You're A Peach; Classics - Huckleberry Finn & Canterbury Tales; Sassafras - Mix and Mend, Fancy Free and Bella Blvd - Finally Fall, Autumn Splendor. There's also three, now nameless, half sheets of American Crafts patterned papers in brown, turquoise and kraft. Many of the papers that I've included have a solid reverse, but I've also added in some plain cardstock in kraft, steel blue, dark grey and turquoise.

Kit Detail

I've deliberately kept my embellishments light - including alphas from American Crafts, Sassafras and October Afternoon, along with a half packet of Sunnyside Delights by American Crafts. I'm hoping to pull embellishments from my stash as go along, but I'll also be making an effort to use my stamps this month. I have a few sets that are perfect for autumn. And I promise they're not by American Crafts*

* How many times can I mention their products in one blogpost?

  10. weird - I was sure that I had posted a comment last night.

    such a lovely, lovely kit. I am always so inspired by the simplicity but perfectness of the products you put together. This one is no exception. The abundance of AC is great and those rosettes are gorgeous - need to make some up for myself.
