Many Things to Report

First, I still haven't gotten to that South Dakota trip update I promised last week. I think that's because I never put it on my to do list and I am living by my to do list these days (actually, my three to do lists: work, scrapbooking, and personal).

Second, be sure to check out the August write.click.scrapbook. gallery launch. This month's gallery features seasonal (summer) projects. Here's the layout I contributed, but be sure to check out the whole gallery for loads of inspiration!

Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye, American Crafts, Echo Park + Chipboard: My Mind's Eye + Stickers: American Crafts + Mini Clothespins: Canvas Corp + Ribbon: May Arts + Twine: May Arts + Fonts: Dock 11, Typenoksidi

Third, the images for the four new lines are up on the October Afternoon website! I didn't get to work with these lines for the CHA show this time around due to the timing of my California vacation. I was a little sad, I will admit, as I think this might be October Afternoon's best release yet! I will post the logos and collection kit images here along with my three favorite papers/products from each line. If you want to see more, just click on over to the October Afternoon website to see the lines (once you're in each collection, you can click on each product to see a more detailed view).

1. Witch Hazel 

 

My three favorites from this line include...

Gleam of Moon patterned paper (A and B sides, love that moon!):
