October Cocoa Daisy

oh, my hearts & stars. the blue ridge kits at Cocoa Daisy this month are so amazing. loved them so much, i got them all again this month! i'll start with my first project. it is for the october sketch challenge. please hop on over there and join us! for this one, i used some of the FANTASTIC patterns from the new crate paper/ maggie holmes "open book" collection:

this one is probably my favorite from this month. a simple layout highlighting the story of how troy & i met (also using lots of crate paper!):

our daughter just got her learner's permit. yikes. i went crazy with the layers on this one:

and, last but not least,  another super layered project.... that is currently photoless. am i the only one who does this? please tell me i'm not. lol. all of the "m" that seemed to be in the empherea package worked to my advantage!
