Last year, crystalb challenged us on this thread to make our own kits for our fall projects. I wanted to see what I had on hand for this year, so I dug through my stash to see what I could find. I also bought a couple new goodies in the Target Dollar Spot yesterday. Share what you'll be pulling from for your fall projects! It earns you a point for challenge #50, and you can claim another point if you use your fall stash for a card or layout.  These are all papers I've had for awhile that make me think of fall  These are 6x6 pads. The 2 at the bottom are new from Target's Dollar Spot  These papers are more cartoonish than the previous. I also included scrap vinyl from some binders DD took apart to recycle. If it won't go through the sizzix, I might hand cut it for something. There are also some cello snack bags, some CTMH stamps that were RAKd to me from a friend, and some other stuff. I might try to use the leaf die cut as a mask for a mixed media background.  These are new from Target too. "Table Scatter." They're big enough to paint, so when I get tired of the gold foil look I can continue using these in different ways for years to come. Share what you've put together the fall  |

i made my kit yesterday before work, but haven't had a chance to photograph it yet. your kit looks like lots of fun! totally envious of your target goodies; no targets around here ever carry the cute stuff everyone else gets  i mean, tucson isn't a small town, you'd think at least one store would have some of the good stuff! will try to take a photo tomorrow after work. if not then, perhaps saturday because i don't work until 11. can't wait to see if anyone else makes up a kit! how about you kiwigirl??  |

Oh you're too funny you are! I told stinkerbelle that I hate fall with a passion. Everything shrivels up and dies, there's leaves all over the place, it's cold and then it's winter. I hate autumn! Also, working with autumn colours is almost as bad as having to use a Christmas kit to me. So yeah.... I won't be getting challenge #50 done!   |

ok, here's mine. i didn't take photos of most of my embellishments because i added so many  most of them are really old and i'd like to get some use out of them! my papers:  my fall kit for challenge #50 by sadkid, on Flickr and alphas with a few embellies thrown in. i know not everything will work color-wise but some will and i'm ok with that.  alphas and a few embellies from my kit by sadkid, on Flickr i apologize for the crummy photos. i did take them near a window, but they're still kind of dark. i think you can see well enough though. so i'm hoping to break into this bad boy soon! |

I love your kits msliz and stinkerbelle... I'm struggling a bit with the kit concept...I have a folder of Autumn/Halloween themed 'stuff' - stickers, diecuts, papers that are strictly themed - so do I just find some alphas and cardstock to coordinate and call it a kit? Can you tell I'm not a kit scrapper? |

I love that Simple Stories acorn paper! Do you know what's funny? Just having these fall papers out on my table has already inspired me to use them - twice already - on summer layouts. There's something about having your supplies conveniently on hand that just makes you want to reach for them. |

ok -I went with Hallowe'en rather than straight Autumn since I need to make Hallowe'en cards I like the wood block stamps, especially the spider web one. I'm not sure how many more Halloween pages I'll be making (my kids are getting older and DH is a stick in the mud and won't want to go out). I'm looking forward to running out of Halloween paper, but I'm going to hold onto my stamps for a long while just in case. |

msliz - Thanks - I'm not much of a stamper but I do use stamps on cards now and then. As you can probably see, most of my Hallowe'en stuff is older - this is probably my last year with a Trick or Treater - DD turns 12 in October and unlike her older siblings when they reached that age, she doesn't have a younger sibling to 'help' as an excuse to keep going out. I'll probably make about a dozen Hallowe'en cards to send out this year but then I need to dig around and see if I have any previous Hallowe'ens that need scrapping.

msliz I love your kit, especially the little gold leaves. stinkerbelle it amuses that the second sticker sheet appears to have Autumn in it's title but I can see like 6 stickers that say Fall I love the acorn paper. Linda that cat sticker with the curly tail is so darn cute. This looks like a fun kit.

I actually pulled out a bunch of embellishments for this month to help me focus on using some stuff. I'll have to see if I can find some papers to go with it since I'm already half way to completing this challenge.

ooh, lovely... (I'm not a big fan of autumn/fall, like kiwigirl said, everything shrivels and summer ends and also fall colors are not my strong suit, but I do like foxes and colorful leaves, so I'm just browsing here out of curiosity). msliz those gold leaves look exactly like some that came in a SSS kit I got months ago. They looked really gorgeous tucked in with stuff from the Pebbles Heart of Home collection that was the bulk of the kit. I put them on a ton of cards. I'm tempted to go check out my Target and get more. It looks like your little jar has more variety of shapes than Simon included. |

I love fall and all of its pumpkin goodness. I don't live in an area that has true fall weather anymore and I miss it. In my area it's hot summer weather straight through to the end of October and then it cools down slightly. DD and I recently talked about our fall bucket list so this thread is inspiring me to try to put together a kit. I'm not much of a kit maker or user but I'm starting to see the value in them. I can spend way too long looking through paper and waste all my scrappy time. So thank you, ladies, for inspiring me to put together a kit. I'm not sure what I'll come up with but I'll try.

It's only those 3 leaf shapes. But there are a lot of them. |

msliz I'm pretty sure the kit only had 1 shape! A fairly decent number of them, but just the one basic leaf like the right hand one

I am not a kitter, but I have an iris tub of fall themed papers and other goodies at home, and will be printing photos on the way home of back to school, Apple picking, and scarecrow making. So I will definitely be scrapping fall stuff. (My brain needs a break from Disney)

Did you make them with the recipients in mind? I think the black cat card is my favorite, but the one with the green gingham ribbon is a close second. And the one with the ghost in the window. They're all great! We're all getting in the mood for Halloween here. DD15 wanted to start decorating but I told her she'll have to wait at least until October 1st. |

Love the apple paper from the original post! Autumn is my favourite season, so I love the idea of an autumn kit from stash items.

I think it came from a DCWV fall stack from the early 2000s? Maybe I'll finally use it this year. I told DD15 that when she gets her braces off in October we'll celebrate with caramel apples, so maybe I'll get some pictures to use with it. Have you gathered up your fall stash goodies yet? Share a pic  |

msliz - you have sent me down a Hallowe'en rabbit hole. I've scrapped Hallowe'en photos from 2016, 2015, 2014...and I have discovered Hallowe'en photos from 2012, 2010, 2008, 1989, 1987, 1981, 1975, 1973, and 1972 that aren't yet scrapped... And while I'm almost out of Hallowe'en embellishments and might have to pull out the Cricut...and I had to put black cardstock on my shopping list (along with adhesive)...I don't seem to have made much of a dent in my Hallowe'en papers... I think the message here is that I need to NOT buy more Hallowe'en papers until I actually need to.

I think the message here is that I need to NOT buy more Hallowe'en papers until I actually need to. Isn't that the truth! I have enough supplies to get me through another lifetime of scrapping. But if I see a paper I just can't live without, I'll probably bring it home with me anyway. I'm so glad this challenge inspired you. I went searching through the 2017 challenges and this one from cyrstalb just shouted out to me. I've used my kit on three pages so far this month, and I have plans to use it at least once more in September (I'm just waiting for the right sketch to inspire me! ) But I'm going to extend the challenge through November so we can use it on this year's fall photos too. |

I am DONE with Hallowe'en pages (at least until the end of next month when I take more photos). Grand total of 24 pages (18 layouts) and 10 cards from my Hallowe'en kit. And yes -I still have paper left - full sheets left even. No more embellishments - I killed those completely except for the brads Debating whether I want to pull together another kit - maybe fall in general - I did find a handful of fall photos while digging through for Hallowe'en or perhaps I can do a school-themed kit and work on back to school type photos -there sure are plenty of those. msliz - would school count for a fall kit? |
