 Last year's October kit had a few of the same colors as this years October kit so I decided to combine them together to make a whole new one with all that I have left. I try and use each kit up to it's last and the perfect way for me is doing scrappy challenges.  This particular one has a free printable which had the same tones so they worked very well together. Here is the house journal card and I used the hearts from this months kit to mimic smoke.  I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel, it is just is a cute way to incorporate those little detail touches onto your page.  Can I say how much I'm loving these new papers?!  I used them to back each page of my TN layout to add a punch of spice. Alphas are great but when you are missing vowels, it's kinda a problem:)  I didn't have an O so I found this Q and made sure I turned it backwards and stitched across so it would take on it's new letter shape (and sound, LOL)! Thanks guys!!! -Kim

It's never too early to start planning the most wonderful time of the year!  I'm usually terrible with last minute stocking stuffer things but I'm totally determined to get it together this year! I'm going to have a designated travelers notebook for all things Holiday and I've decided to spruce it up a bit with some of last years  December Magic  release! This is a standard size travelers notebook in which I've printed out my Holiday insert.  The cover decoration is a wonderful Holiday plaid but I decided to tone it down to create a vignette by having a white opaque sticky paper as a base for my handsome hubby! I used two  of her journal cards a chipboard piece and some stiped washi to finish it out. On the other side, a full dashboard insert where I've used this journal card where I've created a clipping mask in the 'd' and inserted my own winter tree pic.  Above is a quote from one of my favorite songs..... ...'Slei...

Howdy Freckled Fawners!  Kim here to talk about this wonderful October kit and my 1st project using a ring bound memory planner. On the right hand side I wanted use the new 8.5 x 11 papers and the journal cards to the max.  After placing my horizontal picture on a vertical card, I started playing around with semi-circles and layered them concentrating on the right and center of the page.  I placed the October wood veneer within the rings and wrapped a couple of those fantastic golden leaves around it to stick up as tabs. My center divider was made from the new papers as well.  I punched a few larger wholes on the edge so I could tie some twine.  Those alphas just made my day! The picture on the left is actually 3x4.  I just scored it down the center and wrapped it around the divider. There is Tyler in his suit for homecoming on the facing divider side. The journal card that matches the paper was r...
