October Scrapbook Sketch

But first there is an exciting event coming up! Tomorrow is World Card Making Day! And on top of this amazing fun, a group of talented blog friends and I are beginning our 7 Days of Halloween Inspiration hop on SUNDAY! We are all eager to share some fun spooky cards and projects. We'll be going all week long, so be sure to stop back tomorrow for WCMD and Sunday for the hop!

*****

There is a new layout sketch and card challenge over at the DCWV blog! Play along using any of your DCWV stacks for a chance to win some fantastic pretty papers :). Today I'm using the Vintage Collector stack.



This layout is "Happy Birthday 2 ME!". Matt brought me these beautiful flowers for my birthday, they definitely deserved their own scrapbook page :)


All of the little elements are also available in the Vintage Collector stack. I just added a bit of India Ink (black), washi tape, and a journaling card.


I created one more coordinating page with a photo from my birthday dinner. This picture of Matt will likely be my favorite photo of the year (he has given me permission to post it!). This layout will also be entered in the Moxie Fab "Ready Made Embellishment" challenge because it uses all these great elements and journal cards from the Vintage Collector stack.


We went to a little cheese and wine bar type place (Caseus) for my birthday dinner. Thursday night was "Spice Night", so Matt went for it. This sausage pasta was the spiciest thing we have both ever eaten. Ever. Matt was wiping the sweat off his face all night :)


My mouth is burning just looking at it
Have you had enough photos yet? No? Perfect. Because now I have a quick card to share with the DCWV color combo for October. This is also my Unity Stamp Friends with Flair project.


This card uses papers from the DCWV Pumpkin Patch stack and stamps from Unity (many are random grab bag stamps).


Alright this long post is complete! Join DCWV for our challenges (you have all month to enter!) and join me again tomorrow for the start of Halloween Inspirations! Happy Friday
