october kit

for today’s post, i wanted to share the layouts i made with the october mss kit. oddly enough, when i first saw this cosmo cricket line, it didn’t grab me. but i just fell in love when i saw it in real life and could not wait to work with the kit!

the very first thing i made was this picture. when i saw that bird paper, it immediately reminded me of this print that i LOVE. but being without internet that night, i just whipped it up from memory. then when we got internet back i looked it up and laughed because it’s totally not the same, but oh well! i still love it.

this was the first layout i made with the kit. it didn’t turn out as great as i hoped, it’s lacking....something. it’s about kent’s first time in the pacific ocean.

october kit + sunflower mist + red bakers twine

this is probably my favourite layout of the month. i pushed the pictures around for a good day, then left it and the next day when i came back, it just clicked. love it when that happens.

i actually wrapped two presents with this kit, but being an idiot, completely forgot to take a picture of the first one! i am a huge present wrapper. i don’t believe in gift bags. i mean, where’s the fun in that? i also only use solid colour wrapping paper because it’s more versatile than patterned. lately, my colour of choice is kraft, (does that surprise you?) so i always try to dress it up. this is a thank you present for a friend. instead of a card, i put in that library card pocket and a journaling card from this cosmo cricket paper.

if you haven't gotten it already, go pick up the kit. it should be online soon. and what better timing with a long weekend coming up!
