Happy World Cardmaking Day!

And...since I haven't yet posted this here, today seems like a good day to share my October Cards cover:

This was a nice surprise - there I was, checking Facebook, when Cards popped up in my news feed with this image. Good thing no one else was home at the time, as I yelped out loud! :) I made this card at a card crop last spring and spent today with many of the same lovely ladies (plus a few more).

 

More Christmas from October Afternoon!

You may have already seen Silent Night, October Afternoon's full holiday line released this year, but there's more! October Afternoon is releasing the Eggnog mini collection as part of its Daily Flash system.

Old + New + News

Okay, let's do that in reverse order.

News: I've had a couple of people check in with us from afar regarding the Colorado floods. We are okay where we are. Most of the severe flooding is either north, northwest,or east of here. We are within the Denver city limits and in an area that is on higher ground and nowhere near a creek or other water source. There were some lower-lying areas about a mile or two from here that were affected, but it's nothing like what's happening further out. Where we are we've had all of the rain, but nothing destructive.

Old + New: Today's challenge on the October Afternoon blog is to combine a newer line with the oldest line you have. When Roree sent me this challenge I was thrilled, as my home serves as an unofficial archive of all things October Afternoon as I have products from every single collection they have ever released. I just got the brand-new Daily Flash Milk Money line and had fun combining that with products from October Afternoon's first release (County Fair, 2007), their second release (Detours, 2008), and another older release (Report Card).

Be sure to check out the October Afternoon blog for more information and to see Roree's project.

Sketch: 6 + 1

I was so excited about the two new October Afternoon Daily Flash lines revealed yesterday (Milk Money and Apple Cider) that I completely forgot that I was up on their blog for the sketch. So...here's the sketch:

which was originally a card sketch but I interpreted it as a layout:
