Inspired by October Afternoon ( May BLog HOp)

Hello and welcome to my spot in the Counterfeit Kit blog hop- if you've jumped into the middle you might want to start here- if not keep reading

This month the challenge is playing favourites- pick your favourite Scrapbooking Manufacturer- visit their blog and find yourself some inspiration.

I spend quite a bit of time looking at manufacturers blogs and while I visit a lot of them there are some that I go back to everyday- October Afternoon is one of those- This is the LO I made using my Counterfeit kit for May

For those of you who read my blog regularly- you may notice this is made using KRAFT card stock- I have my sweaty little hands on 75 sheets of it shipped over from the UK by my Mother-in-Law and myself after weeks without any at all- and guess what I now find my LSS has started stocking it! ( Mind you the bulk option was a lot cheaper that 70c a sheet!)
THis was the LO I was trying to recreate! Find it here. It was made by Kinsey Wilson ( her blog is here)
Oa sketch 1

I have not managed much with my kit this month- I've been so busy but I do intend to make more with it now I have a bit more time
Now this is where you go next- the lovely Lisa at dreaming of Creativity

  14. A wonderful LO inspired by Kinsey!! Her work is always sooo inspiring! I love the look of the crisp white borders on the kraft!! I LOVE craft and my sister and I were having a discussion the other day about how we would be sad if it went out of style and was no longer available. ;)
