and that was October

The months are adding up in my Heidi Swapp Memory Planner, so much so I had to get my planner rebound at a local printer!

Since it was my husband's and sons' birthday month I decided to celebrate that on the prompts page!

I used some self adhesive tabs to add some extra pockets into my planner- my sons birthday card...

 
a 3x4 card ...

 .
..and the cutest little note my eldest received at school after the holidays. I love that I have it now forever!

Lots of fun memories!

Lift up tabs for extra photos.

The Lovely Natalie May created this card for me and I wanted a special place to keep it, I simply punch holes in the chipboard, snipped through to the hole with scissors and  slipped it into my planner.

Here I cut down a pocket page to add in a few extra photos.

I used the FREE October printable  to pop into the pocket !

 and my calendar page!

Thanks for popping by.

Thanks for stopping by!

I am happy to be sharing a layout today celebrating my oldest son's creativity as part of my Guest Designer spot over at 17 Turtles digital Cutting Files etsy store. I got to play with the
 Circles Within Circles cut file which I cut with Vellum.

 

I tucked the die cut under the side of my photo for some fun!

 

 

I combined the die cut with the Colourful September Skies collection from Heidi Swapp ... and ...

those fun Water Colour Jumbo numbers which I misted with Colorshine and mini Stencils.

I am totally in love with how fun that die cut is, Ill be back soon to share another layout I created soon.

BOO!!!

I posted this layout over on the Heidi Swapp blog recently sharing a quick tutorial for creating the misted  title! I used the yummy new September Skies collection for this layout about last years Halloween Trick or Treat walk.

 

 

here  you can see I used the 12x12 letter mask and Citron ColorShine to create my title,

and the Halloween word is part of Heidi's digi Halloween word set.
 

I love that the new Roller Date stamp can be used for previous years as well!

the socks

last week  I played along with Society 52 on Instagram - their prompts were "Large Title" and "Wood Veneer"on a layout. I also played with the yummy October Afternoon Milk Money collection. This layout shares my memory of my youngest this year in his first year of school and his socks continually down!

 

 For my large title I hand cut it using scraps from my scrap bin!

There is a lovely new mood board over at JOT magazine. I love the soft silvery tones of this one!

 Here is my sample for the mood board using the yummy new September Skies collection from Heidi Swapp.

...and yes those die cuts are leaves ! I mistakenly downloaded some leaves from the silhouette store instead of feathers  but I loved them so had to use them on my page.

Pretty texture created with wood veneer, acrylic shapes, die cut leaves and stitching!

This challenge will run through until 18 November 2014.
I hope you get a chance to play along!

the stache

I have a super fun layout up on the Jillibean Soup blog today using their new Soup Staples and Mix The Media collections.
My boys crack me up sometimes and I love those moments to scrapbook and therefore cherish forever!
