October KOTM

so October is halfway done - but your KOTM is here! We are going to try for a mid-month format for a while, hopefully getting the date a little sooner to the 10th - my life is just too crazy at the end and beginning of a new month - so I have to choose what I can do and do well...I can do the KOTM well if I change the release date...so here you go:-)

don't you just LOVE Instagram!!

Here are some layouts and cards I whipped up with this kit!!

 These pics had been in my stash for a while - Aubrey's 1st movie experience - in the Steinbach Theatre (which is closed now:-(  ) Cars2 was the movie - and she fell asleep almost immedately after the previews!

 loving those little journal tabs - Pink Paislee (24 in a package)

 started up the sewing machine for a little detail - and the white dots are Mr. Huey's - Calico White

ok this layout was FUN - I took a pair of scissors and forced it through the paper from the backside...and then when I flipped it over I distressed it with some Vintage Photo Ink and my blending tool!

The label stamp is from Studio Calico - stamped in Archival Black

The arrow is new from Pink Paislee - Artisan series, you ink or spray them and they have a built in resist pattern on every piece - they come in butterflies too!!

 a little tuck and layer

 "D" for Dain:-)

 pretty simple layout - used the Natural cardstock as a mat around each photo, the little labels for Legoland and May 2012 are both the Studio Calico stamp again.

 Used the Alphabeans stickers overtop of the Washi tape - cool look!

 just a few cards with my leftover goodies:-)

 no - I do not sew straight!!

 1 more layout - 8.5x11

this pattern is the backside of the black and white dot in the kit 

 the able label sticker  - not in kit - but it suited the layout!

You are awesome too!!

I hope this kit inspires you to scrap and create this month too!!
