October Calendar Page- Stick It Down

Hi all! I had time this week to get some scrapbooking done, so I did my October calendar page. I started with the double page sketch from Stick it Down:


I stuck really close to this sketch. I found the cute phrase strip in my stash and decided to use that as one of my edge strips. I cut another strip of the same thickness from pumpkin paper for my second page. I brought the two pages together with strips of plaid patterned paper on either end. I used a corner swirl stamp on the inside of the patterned paper strips. I matted my photos with orange cardstock to make them stand out a bit more on the white background. I found a journaling card that went with the rest of my paper and wrote my journaling on there. For the photo captions, I found some cardstock in the same color as the journaling card and cut that into strips. The title was cut using a Paper Issues cut file. I backed the pumpkins with patterned paper for some interest. I also decided to add some ink smooshing behind the  title for more interest. To embellish the page, I cut some leaves for a sheet of paper that I did some ink smooshing on. I also used some stickers, brads and chipboard pieces. I layered all of the pieces over the stamping. 


 I was also inspired by the Lasting Memories challenge to use layers. I did a little layering of my papers, but did lots of layering of my embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my layout!
