It's the 15th of October already! Sheesh this month is going by faster than September did!!!

Lucky for you and me though...we have a new sketch to inspire you from Let's Scrap Sketches :)


So I started with this sketch, but once again I ended up somewhere completely different!!! 

Remember that everything is an inspiration or influence when you are creating and that you should enjoy the process and see where your creative time takes you...don't worry so much on everything being exact but instead let the inspiration spark your creativity :)

I'm using Falling for You from Close To My Heart...links at the end of the post...love me some FALL! (remember to click the images to get a close up look)



So the history about these photos goes back to when 
my son was first born. 

I used to get his sisters to give him a smooch on both cheeks for a photo...they used to think it was cute and Matthew used to as well.

Currently, Matthew no longer lets me get the shot I used to...no surprise seeing as he's almost 20! Maybe someday in the future he will think it's cute again LOL



I liked the idea of text running the length on the layout and will likely try this technique again...I used the September SOTM (stamp of the month) from CTMH, Feel So Blessed, to stamp the 'so thankful' sentiment...I LOVED that stamp.



All stickers and compliments were from the Falling for You Complements pack...great value.

October 1st already!

Another fun sketch too...I started with this sketch but as you can see...once inspired, you usually just drift into a completed layout...which isn't a bad thing LOL


Make sure to head on over to the Let's Scrap Sketches Blog to see what the other Design Team have created.

Working with some leftover bits and paper from this month's Page Club Kit and some photos of my recent long weekend getaway into the interior...forest fire smoke wasn't going to keep us from enjoying the outdoors :)


I have to say I love the colours of this Simple Stories 'Cabin Fever' paper collection.


The jute burlap and mini staples pair nicely too!
Have fun creating along with us this month.
