October 2024 Monthly Recap Layout

Catching up on my monthly recap layouts with this one for the month of October. It was a quiet month for us with not a lot of big activities but we did get to spend some nice quality family time. I used up some papers from a 4"x 6" retired Stampin' Up paper pad.

The inspiration for this layout came from this layout from Page Maps. You can see this sketch and others here.

The sketch was converted from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" and I modified the photo size and number of photos to work with the new layout size. The title was cut using my Cricut. I added some ribbon and enamel dots from my stash to embellish the layout. I did add some faux-stitching using a ruler and white gel pen.

Walk on Water Layout

Mike and I had so much fun walking the Lake Williams Boardwalk last weekend. Even though it was very windy out on the water it was still a lot of fun. I used up my remaining stash of the Lake Life collection with this layout.

I converted the layout from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11". I also only used the left-hand side of the sketch. I changed the photo size and number of photos to work with the new layout size. The title was die cut using a set from my stash. The embellishments also came from my stash. I added faux-stitching on the circle elements using a marker and circle template.

My next monthly recap layout features the Soda Pop collection from Close To My Heart and Stampin' Up. I loved working with the papers in this collection and they fit so well with the photos from September.

Another layout in my Monthly Recap series. I dug into my stash of 6"x6" paper pads for this one. I wanted to pull some fun colors and patterns to work with the pictures from August of this year. This sketch worked great with this paper size.

Apple Pie Layout

Of course, after apple picking comes apple pie time. I usually make 2 pies each year - one for home and the other for my coworkers. Meghan is a great help when it comes to making the pies each year. For this layout I used some more of the Sweet Days of Autumn DSP and cardstock along with some dies from my stash.

The inspiration for this layout came from this layout I found on Pinterest from Even More Scrapping. You can see this sketch and others here.

I converted the layout from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" and modified the photo sizing to work with the new layout size. I used leaf clusters die cut using the Autumn Leaves set instead of the 2 circle photos. The border was punched with a punch from my stash. I added some twine to give a little more interest and die cut the title using a set from my stash.
