Let’s move on to some cute stuff! After all,
there is not much cuter than the little ones all
dressed up – whether they like it or not!
Remember being little and dressing up your dolls
and Barbies? Remember trying to catch the dog or
cat to decorate them, too? Perhaps the first
form of altering came during our childhoods.
Anyway you look at it, dressing up our little
ones in October is fun. Just remember to have
the camera locked and loaded, ready to go,
because the moment may not last too long.
At their young ages, the thought seems more fun
than the process, but look how these ladies (and
kids!) not only caught the moment, but put it to
paper to show the world. Here’s fun in October!
Michelle and Stacey dress up their Pooh layouts
with fun design and perfect embellishment.
Janneke let Darren do the decorating – on
pumpkin and layout.

Design note:
The candy corns were an add-on because of an
‘oops’ made by the sewing machine at the
top. I decided to just drop them down like
they were falling. I used a fun stitch to
give it that Halloween flair.

Editor’s Note:
They just don’t come much cuter!
Free-flowing design sure can enhance a super
cute moment. Try swirls, dropping candy
corns, and off-set placement like Michelle
did, as well as free-cut ribbon or eyelash
fibers, frayed edges and rub-ons.

Design note: I
wanted to keep the layout clean and simple
to emphasize the adorable photo. I added
the three tags to add some interest and draw
attention to the picture.

away with it. Costumes from Ebay,
consignment shops -- if they make it, she
will surely find it.

Design note: I
scanned in all the parts of the banner my
son made and stitched them together with my
software. To create a quick photo mat, I
layered the photos on top of a cropped
digital paper and flattened the images
before printing. I printed the digital
papers on textured cardstock and the artwork
and photos (including the mats) on glossy
photo paper. I printed the tree
embellishment on a transparency and simply
stapled it to the page.
