Happy October, cherries, and Happy One-Year Anniversary for my sketch challenge!    It doesn't seem like it's been a full year that I've been hosting a challenge here at ACOT, but it has!  I'm so excited every month to see all of the fabulous entries!

So I re-vamped this challenge a couple of months ago to include a requirement along with the sketch.  But, this month I'm drawing a total blank on the "requirement."   I had a clear vision on the requirement for September's sketches before making my samples. This month...not so much    So my "anniversary gift" to you cherries this month is that there is NO requirement other than using the sketches...and to have FUN with them, of course!  

Take Your Pick gives you two choices, a one-page sketch or a two-page sketch. 
You can choose either sketch or do both, each will count as one entry.
I will allow an entry for anyone who wants to use only one side of the two-page sketch.
So, if you use the one-page sketch, that's one entry.  If you use one or both sides of the two-pager, that's still one entry, maximum of two entries per participant.

I found the one-page sketch for this month's challenge on Pinterest, credit to Laura Whitaker for this awesome sketch! 

I used some of Authentique's Devoted papers on a Bo Bunny background in my sample:
Adorable


October's two-page sketch comes from Pagemaps:

I had the idea for this layout for a while, and I knew I wanted to do a two-pager (which I rarely do).  I kept coming back to this sketch because of the picture placement, but honestly I wasn't digging the right side.  It just seemed odd to me, the way the patterned paper ended & what's up with that little girl?  LOL  But I loved the picture placement so she turned into chunky chevron arrows and I added banners. I know, I know, not everyone takes such a literal approach to a sketch, but that's how my brain works    I love how it turned out!
We Love D.C.


The Rules:
Open to layouts only, paper or digital

You can combine with any other October message board or Guest Designer challenge that allows

Sara this is awesome! You pulled this together so fast and it's terrific! Glad you liked the sketch and were able to use it at your crop!

Here is my single page layout. Love this sketch.

wonderful! can't wait to work on these!

Since I am a two page scrapper, I did 2 pages, but posted just the side that fit the one page sketch. .

Here is mine.

I love these sketches! Your examples are awesome!

Here is my take on the one pager. Happy Anniversary Sketch Challenge!!

Here is my take on the 2 pager.

Thanks for the challenge.   I used the one page sketch to create this LO about the first days of Drea being ours...
