ATG Using Pretty Patterned Paper September Challenge

Hello and welcome back to
Love Those Pretty Papers
meaning we want to see all those 'pretty patterned papers' as your focus. 
It seems we all have a huge 'hoard' of papers
and this challenge gives you the opportunity to bring them out
and show them off.
You can read all the rules/guidelines in the tab above but just a quick reference
is a limit of three entries is permitted for each monthly challenge,
a Top 3 and a Top winner will be chosen and announced
before the next challenge begins.

We all have hoards of papers I am sure and this gives you plenty of
opportunity to pull them out and put them to good use

We  have an OPTIONAL theme which is
FALL papers,
but you can use any of your papers as we are an
Anything Goes challenge as long as you use your papers.
We don't mean just a tiny scrap but we want to SEE those pretty papers,
if not sure then see our sample inspiration below!

Here is a bit of inspiration to get you started:

 Optional Theme:  Fall Papers
