ok i can't believe this is october and no one has made a halloween challenge yet!
so challenge #51: make a halloween page/project! OR use halloween colors: black, orange, green, purple. 1 point if you use those colors to scrap something other than halloween (say, a sports team whose colors are orange and black). bonus point if you do a halloween project without using the halloween colors listed.

christinec68 I left you some love in the gallery! Linda love the colors on your final LO. The fun burst paper echoes the kids’ excited faces and I love the little banners and flower! The title page for your son’s album is very cool with the airport sign lettering (what are those things called? Arrival board?) and fun airplane border. Your class-inspired card is beautiful! KelleeM great job finishing up 2 more sketches!! Love the colors on the happy birthday page; that multi-print paper packs quite the punch and makes the page look much harder than it probably was. Love the little cluster in the top right! And the donut page cracked me up. That title is perfect because that donut is as big as her head! Love the fun background paper that is a twin for the donut and those cute flowers around the circle. That grin

catseatcheese I love that you used the OA birthday line for your puppy LO! Great layering and design I love the transparency behind the photo and the clip, the pocket with the typewriting on the library card and the fun sprinkled embellies and gold Heidi shine. Gorgeous LO! For your awesome page, I love the mix of color and pattern you put together (I never thought their kits were cohesive so any I bought in sales I just dismantled and now I make little kits out of the papers too!). I love how you’ve used the frames, especially the one with your journaling! For your fall page, I think the angles of the papers go nicely with the leaning tower, and I love the fun stapled sequins and giant title! Thanks so much for sharing and I’m looking forward to having you with us for October! kiwigirl your pages are just jaw-dropping gorgeous! I can’t believe how many pages you did using only ephemera! I’m off to read your blog post…

Chinagirl828 love for you in the gallery kitbop I actually think those papers go very well with the tones in the reindeer, which is hysterical btw. Love the stapled twine (probably going to steal that, fair warning), the scalloped piece and gold splatters. Very very cute!! sleepingbooty love the fun mix of color and pattern on your tiny canvas! The wood title is perfect!

OMG stinkerbelle , pretty spooky LO! And are those Maya Road journalling spots? They're like a funny plasticy stuff right? Love all the bats, they're fab! yup good old maya road. i can't remember what they were called but i had a boatload at one time. i was thinking they were hideous and was going to chuck them in the bin and then i thought they'd be good for halloween, so back into the stash they went

sorry it took me so long, but catseatcheese we'll go ahead and add you to kitbop's team, if that's ok with you so sorry to hear about your pup. i know when my cat is sick or even seems to be sick it throws me out of whack, just like if it were one of my children. hopefully everything will come out fine for the both of you!

here are some photos i took of my kit process. i apologize in advance that they're not great photos and it's a bad photo-heavy post! here are my 15 papers: october kit game challenge by sadkid, on Flickr i split them into 3 piles; one with 7 papers: october kit game challenge by sadkid, on Flickr one with 5 papers: october kit game challenge by sadkid, on Flickr and the final pile has 3 papers: october kit game challenge by sadkid, on Flickr as you can see, i decided to make things easier for myself and grouped the papers by colors. obviously you don't have to do this. i'm also using papers from one manufacturer (felicity jane) but you can use whatever you want, be it a collection kit, a purchased kit, a selection of 6x6 pads, a big stack of PL cards, whatever works for you. here are the embellishments i added to my kit. i added a lot because i like a lot of variety, so i had to include 2 photos: october kit game challenge by sadkid, on Flickr october kit game challenge by sadkid, on Flickr and here are my 3 piles of papers plus the embellishments i added to each pile. note that the last pile has both the fewest papers and fewest embellishments. this is because you bring forward all your paper and embellie leftovers each time you move to a new pile. by the time i get to that last pile, it won't be so small also note that i really put a ton of stuff in my first and largest paper pile. this is because, again, anything i don't use will move forward to the next pile. i added 2 ephemera packs because splitting them into the piles made no sense. i did split up some embellishments and also added some 6x6 papers and PL cards to each pile. you do whatever works for you!! october kit game challenge by sadkid, on Flickr october kit game challenge by sadkid, on Flickr october kit game challenge by sadkid, on Flickr i put my first pile into my crate paper desktop organizer (non-affiliate amazon link) and bagged the other 2 piles individually, so now i'm all set to start creating! if you've made it this far, i hope this little visual representation helps a bit. don't forget to post photos of your kits below! and no, you don't have to post each step like i did, just one photo of your kit will do have fun and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

welcome to october and a challenge i think will be fun and a great way to bust some stash! HOW TO PLAY THE KIT GAME Set-up:
1. Make yourself a kit of supplies (see this thread for more info) 2. Divide your papers into at least 3 piles; the first pile should have more than the last (for instance, my kit has 15 papers so my piles will be 7, 5, and 3. You can split yours however you like). If using a large amount of papers, consider more piles so you don’t get overwhelmed. 3. Repeat with your embellishments, choosing some for each pile of papers. You may omit any alphas in your kit and just keep them to the side. Now you’re ready to play! 1. Begin creating with your largest pile of papers + embellishments. You are limited to these supplies only!* Scrap with these supplies until you have at least cut into each paper in your pile. 2. Now you can start using your second pile, but you can add in all the leftovers from your first pile, so now you have lots of new color/pattern combinations, new embellies, etc. Same rules apply; scrap until you’ve cut into each of the papers from your pile (scraps from the previous pile don’t count). 3. When you reach that point, move on to the third pile (or if you have more than 3, continue the process until you reach your last pile) and scrap until you kill the kit! (killing the kit means you’ve cut into each full sheet of paper you started with in the beginning) *items like inks, sequins, nuvos, cardstock, mixed media supplies, etc. can be kept aside to use on all of your projects, unless you’d prefer to challenge yourself and add them to your piles. If you are a part of the team challenge, the points system for this game will be noted in the challenges thread. We hope that even if you’re not on a team, you’ll play along with us!
