More TREATS - one last chance to collect AUTUMN GOLD

My personal freebie collection for October is called

AUTUMN GOLD

I love Autumn but the brilliant colors of autumn are a rare find here in Central Texas.  A person has to be extremely persistent searching out native color, but it can be done!  We visited the Pumpkin Village at the Dallas Arboretum on Saturday ... there were 65,000 pumpkins, squash and gourds in their display!  That was definitely AUTUMN COLOR!

Here are the freebies in my AUTUMN GOLD collection.  Links will remain active until the evening of November 5. (and then I will remove them to make room for all of my November freebies!)

Frame 1 
(embellished and blank)




Cluster 1



Frame  3

(don't worry - you didn't miss Frame 2 - coming soon!)

Designer freebie 10/24/2014

Today's Designer freebie made by poki features Alexis Design Studio



I love the Autumn color palette, so I keep coming back to this lovely kit from Alexis Design Studio for personal projects and challenge layouts!  My most recent layout with this kit was done as a challenge in September. 


This photo was taken of the rising sun from the seawall on Seawall Blvd, Galveston, Texas!  I love the clouds, and the slight mist in the air which showed up in the photo!  A glorious beginning of a beautiful day on the Texas Gulf Coast!

I love how the flower cluster turned out, so I prepped it as today's freebie
