Four-of-a-Kind #3

It is time for our October Four-of-a-Kind post.  This is the third in a series of monthly posts where Cathy, Kim, Renee and I challenge ourselves to make a card out of a kit sent to us by the hostess of the month.  You can see the first challenge here and the second challenge here.

The hostess for the month makes four kits and sends them out to each of us.  We work secretly to create a card using at least 4 items from the kit.   No other rules or restrictions.  We are allowed to use anything else we have on hand.  We get to see each others cards today, on each of our blog posts.  We are scheduling our posts to go live at the same time.  I can't wait to see what everyone has created.

I am the hostess this month, and I chose to create a kit using Up, Up & Away.  I didn't think any of the other gals had this set.  I also sent some Polka Dot Parade paper in Ocean Tides, Summer Sunrise and Ripe Avocado.

Here are all the bits I sent to everyone:

And, here is what it looked like all packaged up.  I put all the little pieces in envelopes made out of maps of San Diego using the Seed Packet Die. 

Now, you would think that I would have had a card in mind as I was cutting and stamping.  If so, you would be mistaken.  I had no idea what I would end up making, until I started playing around with all the pieces, just like everyone else did.  Here is what I came up with:

Here is a peek at the inside:
