Happy Saturday and Welcome to October! Can I just say that I totally love the fall season and I love everything about this time of year :D

Since it's the first of the month, that also means that today is the reveal of the October XOXO newest challenge. This month was so fun because we were challenged to grab inspiration from Instagr.am Now, I'd never heard of this App, and since I don't have an IPhone, was totally in the dark about what it all meant. However, once I started searching online, I was able to find lots of inspiration from the tint of the pictures. And, that led to my layout. I pulled out some cardboard from a past Birds of a Feather kit, tore it, spritzed it with white paint and threw on some mist. Then, I grabbed my stash of Sassafras Lass papers and embellies and went to town. I love how everything came together for this particular challenge.


Now, here are the rules if you want to play along with us over at the True XOXO Girl challenge blog:

The idea is to find inspiration, or scraplift, any of these layouts. Color, design, subject or wording - you may find inspiration in any or all of these. Enter as many times as you like.
  • Show your layout on your blog, and link its specific post in the comments section. -or-
  • Put your layout in your favorite gallery if you don't have a blog, post in comments. -or-
  • or Mister Linky is working below - yay!!
We'd love to know what inspired you, if you have time to write a little about that.
Layouts are due Oct. 31st, midnight your time.
The team will vote on their favorite and the winner will be announced November 5th.
Winner will be our November guest design team member; she will be invited to hang with us in our super secret True XoXo design team Facebook group during November, find out how XoXo designers get their inspiration and will have a layout posted for December blog entry.))
