a day to remember

It is February. People said love is in the air. For me, most romantic month definitely October. It's my hubby's birthday and our wedding anniversary. So, instead of making valentine's project, I choose making a love-themed layout dedicated to my special month: October.

Then I found out that Creating Keepsakes, one of favorite magazine, held a weekly challenge. They require every contestant to incorporate a calender into a layout. Wow, what an amazing inspiration! I'm thinking of layout with "October" wording and they add the level of creativity. Without any further waiting, I grab my stash and start scrapping. And after about 3 hours, here's what I've got:

It's a romantic-vintage look with soft color. I use WebsterPage's Hollywood Vogue as base paper. For this layout, I only use 1 paper :) Let me show some details:

This is my calendar :) I use as focal point. I downloaded this calendar from Creating Keepsakes and print the September and October part. Then I clip those two pieces of calendar and fold the September backward. Here's what I've got, a shape that looks like hanging calendar. Hope you like it :)

I use chipboards here..yey..love it! To make it more romantic, I'm coloring those chipboards with acrylic paint. Light purple and deep red that I blend on my own.

Full of buttons and flowers! I bought buttons from market, with cheap price, and use Prima flowers. Really really want to make flowers of my own (again). Maybe tomorrow, it's weekend anyway :)

At least...I'm making my own leaves..yippieeee... I cut felts into leaf shape, and hand-stitch it! It suits to my layout *very happy*

October 2nd, the day I shall never forget. See you on my next projects :)

    Gorgeous project. Love all the yummy chipboard pieces. It's not easy having a birthday and Anniversary in the same month. Our Anniversary, my birthday and Valentines are all within a 2 week span... yikes! Awesome job, very inspiring.

    Thanks for joining the Little Miss Muffet Valentine/Love Challenge & good luck! Sorry I am so late in commenting ;D
