Is it Halloween yet?

Did you notice all the Halloween kits that have recently hit all the stores?  I can't believe that it is almost October.  Where did September go?

Here is a cool Halloween kit by Che Yang Designs called This October Day.  When I first got this kit, I was so anxious to start and make a layout.  I think I tried to force it upon myself at a time when I was too busy (in real life).  I was very frustrated and disappointed with myself that I couldn't produce something that I really loved.  I put it aside a few days and came up with a few things.

This first layout, I used Che's Simple Template no. 9 so it wasn't too hard to put something together.


I really loved the papers in Che's kit so I wanted to do a layout that showed it off.



Now, onto Karen Funk, she has a new kit called Fallin' For You.  I love the bold shade of red and all the cute stitched flowers.  An opihi is a Hawaiian limpet, kinda like a snail.  It makes its home on the rocky shorelines.  When a child attaches oneself to their parent, we call them an "opihi."  Bostyn has never really been an "opihi" until more recently.  She has gotten to the stranger danger syndrome.  When there are new people around, she just clings onto me or Tate.  So for that, I call her my little opihi.


This next layout is using Delight by Sara Schmutz.  I fell in love with the cute forest animals and the rich colors in this kit.
