When Kimberly asked the DT to make a banner with the October kit, I smiled. Love banners. I made this Thankful banner to hang in our home for Thanksgiving time.
 |
| I used the Teresa Collins orange brocade paper and Graphic 45 Halloween papers. The cream parts are actually the Pink Paislee alphabet packaging. For the triangles I mixed the Basic Grey epoxy stickers with the October Afternoon stickers. |
Each month the Hip DT is asked to make a two-page layout. The past few months I have been making up the sketch for the DT to follow for their 2-pagers.
 |
| Here is the sketch I made for the DT to use as inspiration. |
 |
| I love the Fall feel of this layout. |
 |
| I challenged the DT members to use one of the Tuesday Tutorials on the Hip Blog from the past two months. I used Bethany's pleated paper technique here, and also in the top R corner of the layout. |
 |
| For the cluster of embellishments by the title, I combined several different manufacturer products from the kit--button, twine, Graphic 45 tags, Basic Grey epoxy, Teresa Collins paper for the pieced pumpkin, and Prima gems. The Field Trip letters were originally green but I colored the brown with my Zig marker. |
Speaking of stuff to use, the 15th is my monthly PURGE day. I'm going to fill a bag full of product to send to one of my lucky blog readers, a way of saying thanks. Don't worry--it'll be good stuff (all products from the last year)!
Leave a comment by Wednesday the 17th letting me know your favorite Thanksgiving food. Followers, you'll be entered twice like always--thanks for following me and my ramblings :)
Oh, and if you want to make a layout with my October Hip kit sketch, leave me a link to your blog in your comment. I'll draw a name from everyone who does that, too, and send some goodies out.
Check back Thursday the 18th to see the winners.
Have a fabulous weekend! Happy Birthday to Melia, Papa, Dad, and Michelle!

Ok, now this is too weird. We really DID make some of the same things this month! LOL!
Your banner is beautiful as always and I love that 2-pager...the sketch is a fun one! :-)
Wow Melanie...gorgeous banner! I love your 2 pager and your sketch...will have to try my hand at it.
Lovely as always! The banner is so cute and I really like the sketch & layout! Glad to see you're getting some sewing done on your layouts!
Love the banner Melanie. The colors are great for fall. I'm going to have to try your sketch too.
The banner is really stunning. Love seeing what you did with the kit.
Great sketch! I'm going to use it when/if I ever get around to scrapping again.
My favorite Thanksgiving food is roasted parsnips. So yummy.
What a fabulous sketch! And your layout has SO many beautiful elements! My favorite Thanksgiving food hands down is the pumpkin pie - life is short - eat dessert first!
Love what you did with the sketch - I'm so terrible with 2-pagers!
And as for the food, I can't live without stuffing (with sausage!)
Like the Field Trip layout. My favorite holiday food is Fresh Cranberry Chutney!
LOVE all of the projects! Once again you made the perfect banner. :)
I am going to print out that sketch...
I am a two page girl all the way so I love your layout. I am definitely adding this sketch to my list to lift.
Thanksgiving food??? All of it, but of course the pumpkin pie.
It would be a tie between my grandmas's dressing and my father in law's brisket. Do I really have to choose just one?? LOL!
beautiful banner!
Hi :) Congrats on the PDW spot, can't wait :)
My favorite Thanksgiving food is the Bourbon Pecan Pumpkin Butter Pie that I've been making for the past few Thanksgiving. Thanks for the great givaway!
These are some amazing projects, that 2pager is out of this world!!
