Colorful Options October 2025

 Hello friends, today at Colorful Options our colors are fitting for
October, Black and Orange.  Lots of options here as it doesn't have to be Halloween
just anything in these two colors.  Not a fan of this months mood board?  Then
you can always use rainbow colors if you prefer!

I was inspired not only by the colors but the black kitty cat as well.
I used for the first time a Honey Bee Lovely Layers Scaredy Cat die
as well as an old embossing folder from Cuttlebug embossed on
Cord'dinations Black Magic paper that I then sanded to let the color through.

Come on over and have some 'colorful' fun with us!!

Trick or Treat

Hello friends, Double D has a brand new theme for October and it is a DOOZY!!
We know some aren't fond of Halloween so we have a word inspired challenge theme this time,
you can read about it below! 

Theme:  Trick or Treat
Smell My Feet
Give Me Something Good To Eat
( let the words inspire you, Example: trick or treaters,
something that smells (even animals sniff and smell or so does an apple pie), something with feet,  something good to eat (Ice cream, candy, fruit)
Just let your imagine run with it!

Along with the words to inspire we have a fun
mood board for inspiration too, I think you will get the idea!

I did go with the Halloween concept and let the trick or treat
words inspire me right along with that cute ghost
trick or treating in the top left photo.  Of course having a new
Halloween Trick or Treat ghost die set also contributed a bit too!!

I purchased this die set around Halloween 2024 but it arrived too late
to use it that year, so this is my first time of pulling it out and using it.  I thought it was the cutest die from Simon Says!
The background is one of several packs I also purchased last year from
Picket Fence Studios, they come in an A2 card front but I trimmed off a bit
so I could have a nice card base edge underneath.  I left a sentiment off the front
as I felt the background and cute die cuts were all it needed.

Once again the DT girls did an amazing job with this
challenge theme, so make sure to go to Double D
and check out all the fun variety of inspiration!

October 2025 Fall

We are into our second FALL Season at The Four Seasons
and have a very fun and 'fall-ish mood board for inspiration,
but you can create anything fall! 

I was inspired by the bottom left picture with all the fall colors and
the house.  I used papers from Brutus Monroe's Fall Into Seasons.
This paper is so pretty it really doesn't need anything more added  to it.
The sentiments are from the Hero Arts 2023 Fall card kit.

I ended up with two cards as I mistakenly adhered down the wrong side
of the paper I had intended to use, so just started over and made a
second card.

Card #1 (the one I had intended to do)

Card #2 (the one I adhered the wrong side)

Anyhow, both sides are beautiful papers so it worked out
well and I have two cards to show for it!

Thanks for stopping and happy creating!!
