Well, hello there! I see you are back for some more scrappy inspiration...counterfeit style! It is a bit addicting, isn't it? I find the counterfeiting and kitting process almost as much fun as the scrapbooking part! It's fun to use and play with scrappy goodies!
This month you will need to be a super sleuth scrapper as you navigate some clues to create your kit. We're not providing a direct kit-to-copy, rather a case file of evidence, testimony, scheme and a scene to get your creativity flowing this month. Color Stories Inspiration (CSI) offers a unique approach to scrapping that can certainly be translated into kit building. Honestly, it opens the door (maybe even the CAR door) even wider for kit possibilities! Let's take a look at the case file - think of it like your road map:
It's beginning to feel like autumn around here and this photo and color scheme ties right into that vibe I've got an urge to get on that open road with the old '69 Bug and see some fall foliage.
C'mon...let's go for a drive!
Of course, the inspiration photo spoke to me immediately! I knew exactly how I would stage my kit this month. We're fortunate to have one of these in the garage.
I used the color scheme as my guide for choosing my papers. Shades of pumpkin, butternut squash, sweet cream and mint cover the windshield. The plaid piece just seemed to have that vintage car feel and satisfies the grey in the inspiration.
Now, here are the B sides!
Hehe! That's kind of fun! Remember that your B sides are fair game when you actually start working with your kit. Even if that side wasn't what you had intended when you assembled your kit, it doesn't matter! It's all about USING your stash!
Next, on to the printer's tray. The evidence called for metal and music so I added some metal eighth note brads. Numbers...some large black and cream ones. Transportation...bikes and some little vintage car die cuts that are stuck in a traffic jam of embellies. String was also mentioned and trust me, there's some baker's twine in there! Then just a variety of spare parts like brads, stickers, border strips and buttons that seemed to match the feel of the kit.
Also in the evidence list are mists and watercolors.
You never know when you may need an "oil" change!
Well, we're back from our Sunday drive! Time for you to gather your supplies so you can take a whirl down your own scrappy road.

What a fabulous kit - and so cleverly photographed. 5 stars on getting the inside out shot too!!
ReplyDeleteI was reading the introduction to your kit thinking 'I wish I had this ladies way with words' but when I saw the staging of your kit I thought 'this lady has missed a career opportunity as a publicist'. I love your kit reveals!
ReplyDeleteYour kit is also really lovely. So many little extras that lift it to a new level! Yum! x
Your car themed explanation had me giggling.As usual you get top marks for display.What a fabulous kit! Looks like a fun time will be had there.
ReplyDeleteYour presentation is A-MAZ-ING!!! It really sets the bar high for the rest of us! Love your kit - the colors really do reflect a Sunday drive in autumn. And how perfect is a windshield for showing the b-sides?! Wonderful job Lynnette!
ReplyDeleteWow Wow Wow what a fun presentation! I love to go for Sunday Drives and this would be a fun car to take one in :) Love your kit :) I even recognized a few papers that I have in my own stash :) Have fun with either side of you papers and your kit :)
ReplyDeleteYou are simply the BEST Lynnette - always a pleasure to see your kit staging - and what a phenomenal way to do the "B" sides! Great kit as ever xxx
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!! You are so cute!! LOVE your fun presentation! What a great kit and easy photographing for the B-sides! Totally brightened my day!
ReplyDeleteI was smiling all the way through your post. Called hubby over to show him. Got a polite "ya" from him. Oh well, he is a Chevy guy. Beautiful car. I remember riding in the back cubby, of our family's VW when I was 3 -4 years old.
ReplyDeleteKit is excellent interpretation. Extra gold star for the B side shot. And yes, that plaid just begs to be included. Happy scrapping with LOAD this month. I'll be watching for you posts.
you rocked this! From the kit to the photography!!
ReplyDeleteI love your kit reveal. So well written and presented! I love how you took it a little brighter than the inspiration piece. Can;t wait to see what you create,
ReplyDeleteFAB FAB FAB on all counts! Was clapping my hands at the windshield shot - "B" sides, indeed :D
ReplyDeleteThat plaid couldn't be more perfect, especially with a little nod to the VW plaid you are fond of!
And the light was perfect (wink-wink)
That is too cute!! Your kit really captures the mood of the inspiration file!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm blown away by your bug car and your kit!!! Everything looks absolutely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool way to present your kit and it works for the traveling theme. Looking forward to seeing your projects.

oh Lynnette, your presentation is just spot-on this month!!! Perfection. I love the looks of your kit as well, I think I spy a sheet of October Afternoon paper from way back when. Excited to see some of your layouts!
ReplyDeleteyour b-side shot made me grin! How clever you are! I'm late to the party this month and am sorry it's taken me so long to tootle over here but I've been taking some drives around of my own this month. Another perfect kit staging to go with your gorgeous kit! You've nailed those colours and collected together some very scrummy products :-)
