Norine has had lots of fun playing with October Afternoon’s line - Sidewalks.  I love October Afternoon, I love their papers - both sides are always so usable.  This Sidewalks line is so bright and cheery, and as Norine shows us, there is so many things you can do with it.

Quoting Norine ~~ “All paper is from the October Afternoon Sidewalks line, as well as the lace trim and button. The cupcake chipboard shapes are from Maya Road. Nestability die and Sizzix embossing folder and rub on are from my own stash”

Quoting Norine ~~ “All paper and butcher twine from October Afternoon Sidewalks line, sentiment tag by Elle’s Studio. Crocheted flowers by American Crafts Dear Lizzy, leaf - Bazzill, my own stash.”

Quoting Norine ~~ “All papers and butterfly are from the October Afternoon Sidewalks line. Phrase tag is from Elle’s Studio, fabric brad is Amy Tangerine, chipboard frame - Maya Road, Nestability die and cork from my own stash. Oh! And I got to play with my new (old) Creative Memories Octagon punches the I won on eBay!!”

Quoting Norine ~~ “This layout uses the paper line from October Afternoon Sidewalks and the flower sack die cut shapes. I lined them up and sewed them together to create a banner/swag, and added some Dear Lizzy crocheted doilies and flowers. Buttons are also OA Sidewalks. All the alphabet stickers and chipboard are from my own stash.”

Norine, I am truly loving what you have done with these papers and embellishments.  The cards are bright and cheery, and I just adore how you made the banner on the layout.  Seeing your creativity has given me the incentive to get into my scraproom.  Thank you for sharing these gorgeous designs with us.
