New freebie for Color Challenge at TSG

This cooler weather has done wonders for my creativity :) now, if only I could stop my neck and shoulders from killing me, I would be in scrapbooking heaven LOL

However, the weather has worked in your favour as I have created another freebie kit for you all to enjoy.... and you will enjoy it .... got that!! LOL

I must admit I was stumped when the palette went up at The Scrapping Garden. I couldn't think of anything that it suggested to me, and I do like to have some idea where I'm heading when I start designing something. So I decided I would just make a paper selection and forget about the elements. And I did! but when I had finished the papers, they looked so lonely in the preview, I was compelled to rethink my theme and come up with something. After chatting with my DH, Gary, we started coming up with flowers, but there were no flowers in my papers at all..... then it hit me, the colours reminded me of weeds, in particular the thistle. Gary hopped online to check out pics and came back with the Scotch Thistle and this unforgettable name "Thistle Doo". It was perfect, and now I had a theme to create some elements around.

I searched the Internet for gardening tools and took a few pictures of our gardening tools, and was able to get some nice additions to the kit. I then decided to fill it with lots of different sorts of flowers and vines and so on. I am very happy with the way it turned out in the end, I hope you feel the same way.

As it started life as a paper only kit, there are 16 papers to choose from. As it grew into a full sized kit, 36 elements accompanied those papers!

I hope you enjoy using this as much as I enjoyed putting it together, and don't forget, if you make a layout, please email to cazpamATgmail.com so that I can show it off.
