Girls Best Friend....Gossamer Blue and Creative Scrappers

I'm a little late starting to dig into my September Gossamer Blue kit (I mean, gosh, the October kit will be here in a few days!).  But once I started, I really got going!

My mom's dog is a shepard mix and she is so very tolerant of Charlotte's constant tugging and pulling and playing.  Even though we have our own dog (who isn't as patient!), Charlotte thinks Shiloh is the "best dog ever"!

I used sketch #226 from Creative Scrappers.

I actually started this page by cutting the chevron strips from the EP Every Eclectic line and designed the whole rest of the page around it.  On the background, I misted with my CW Blazonry stencil with some brown and grey mists.  It was a bit too dark, so I painted over it with a white wash.  Then I machine stitched around the edges of the painted area to frame it.

I added some paper strips, these gorgeous resin flowers, and tried to do some twine a la Ashli, but I didn't do it nearly as good as she does!!

Happy October 1st!!  Bring on the Fall!!!!
