Goodbye October & Hello November

This post will finish up my layouts that I did in October. I can't believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas is right around the corner.

I am very close to my yearly goal and I have 60 days left...wait there are only 60 days left of the year!!!!! No way that I only have 60 days that I have to wait to shop my little heart out!!!! I have cheated a bit during the last 4 months....Scrapsupply was having a going out of business sale that I couldn't click past in my email and then I got a "we miss you" email from A Peek Into Yesterday for a whole 20% off my purchase and when I saw the clearance they had then that they had the Amber Road collection from Pink Paislee that I have I have been absolutely drooling over since it came out at CHA this summer...it was on...the credit card wasn't safe at all. I did really well though....22 items for $16 with shipping. I love my Amber Road so much that I can't cut it...yet. I swear I am a paper collector more than a scrapper.

These are my last layouts for October. They were for ScrapFreak's Freaky Friday challenges.

I used Ivy Bazzill, Tan cardstock, American Crafts Metropolis PP, Misc Dog PP, Die Cut and Ribbon. Letters are Foam Thickers and Misc. Dog Epoxy Letters.

This layout I made last night for fun before I went to bed. Its been a while since I just sat down with no agenda and did a layout. It was a bit scary but nice. I used the Make it in Minutes section from the Nov/Dec 2009 Scrapbooks Etc. for inspiration.
