I know I say this every month, but I cannot wrap my head around the fact that October has arrived! I didn't even know we were close to October! In many ways September flew by and it was also one of the longest months of my life.... but here we are! A new month and a new blog hop!
October always means Halloween to me, and while it isn't my favorite holiday, I do love the things that come with it, like pumpkin patches and baking with apples and cooler temperatures and falling leaves! Fall is my favorite time of year, and I wish it lasted longer!
Having said all that, as much as I do love the new Halloween products, I don't own them... So, I had to get creative with my Halloween project... I went more with the leaves idea and colors, and I made this, and I was really happy with it...

Ink: Memento Black, So Saffron, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze

but then you know what? I guess my brain turned on, haha... because you don't see stars and sunsets at the same time!! What was I thinking?!
So! I had to whip up another card!! Thaaat's exactly the kind of week I've been having, so hopefully this new Monday and new month go just a little bit calmer...!
This card looks more like a spooky Halloween night to me, haha! Perfect for staying in with a fun Halloween movie! My personal favorite is It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!
