Welcome, October!

Hello, October! I am already liking October, as it's a typical Denver early fall weekend: low 80s and sunny. October is my favorite month. It's always been my favorite month. I love watching the leaves change, enjoying the crisp fall air combined with the Colorado sunshine, going to the fall festival and the pumpkin patch, drinking pumpkin spice lattes, getting ready for Halloween, and making soups and stews.

October also brings a new gallery at Write.Click.Scrapbook. This month's theme is shadows. I love how many different interpretations there are in the gallery! There are shadow photos, layouts about being someone's shadow or being in someone's shadow, and design elements that are shadows. I went that last route with my layout:

 

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics

Chipboard Silhouettes (used as masks): Maya Road

Mists: Studio Calico

Wood Veneer Letters: Studio Calico

Pen: American Crafts

Today is also a holiday in the papercrafting world: World Cardmaking Day. In honor of today, Bella Blvd has a blog post up showcasing cards from the design team, including this card I recently posted:

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics

Patterned Paper: Bella Blvd

Stickers: Bella Blvd

There's also a sneak peek up on the Bella Blvd blog (scroll to the bottom of the post)! Stephanie has designed a mid-release, including today's sneak peek item, which is perfect for cardmakers! Stay tuned for the full reveal on Monday!

I'm looking forward to creating some cards today - after a fall festival first, of course!
