Here are my October cards....

This was a technique that was new to me that I discovered while browsing on SCS a few nights ago. A few YouTube video's later, and here it is. Not difficult - just have to make sure you have enough ribbon to make the right size of wreath you would like. Here's the link to my inspiration.

Paper: Misc. Bazzill cardstock, Neenah - Solar White
Stamps/Inks: Hero Arts - Cl343 Holiday Sayings, Memento - Love Letter and Summer Sky

And a little knitting:

Can't stand socks, but at least I enjoyed the first sock. This is my favorite sock pattern - Amy has made me two pairs using this pattern, and I wore through both, because I wore them so much. Had to make another pair. Photo is unblocked, because I need to borrow some sock blockers! Coloring is more true in the close up photo.
