One Fine October Afternoon

I am part of a wonderful forum at For The Luv of Art. I absolutely love that place! Everyone is so friendly and supportive of each other. They also have fun challenges each week! This week I participated in it and I love the outcome.

The challenge was to create a layout/project using packaging from some supplies you have. Well I had to dig deep because I couldn't find any packaging that I wanted to use. Until I found this sample sheet that came in a pack from October Afternoon.

These squares immediately caught my eye! I decided to use this on my layout.

I cut the squares and placed them in a grid pattern, then stitched them down for my background. I love the OA paper anyway, so getting to use bits of all of them on my layout was extra fun.

And of course, you know how I love Wendy Hammer Designs felt goodies! I added the Banners and Stars to my layout too! I just thought they went perfectly!

I even used the packaging in the title of my layout!

Cardstock: Life Stories Line, My Minds Eye

Patterned Paper: Cherry Hill, October Afternoon (packaging)

Felt Banner and Stars: Wendy Hammer Designs

Alphas: Cherry Hill, October Afternoon; Chipboard Letters, The Paper Studio

Cardstock shapes: Cherry Hill, October Afternoon

Bakers Twine: Pink Sorbet, The Twinery

Other: shipping tag

I aslo used the Pink Sorbet twine from The Twinery to make a little pom for my title tag. I simply wound the twine around two of my fingers, tied it off in the middle and snipped the loops!

I love the Pink Sorbet! I think it's one of my favorite colors!
But if you can't decide, then I suggest grabbing this 15 yard Sampler Pack from The Twinery! You'll get eight delicious colors....one for every project you can think of!

Did I say absolutely love bakers twine?

Have a happy Friday and a great weekend!
