This is my catch-all/collage page for October 2009. I usually do a page for each month with all the odds and ends that don't fit into any other lo's. For 2009, I'm also including each month's birthstone, flower, and astrological signs just for fun. My January through September LO's are in my gallery (2009 Album & Month LO's in 'albums'), where you can also see the themes I used/am using for 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2013.

I chose an iridescent white for the base of this LO for the October birthstone - Opal. I stamped and heat embossed the border and the Prima calendar stamp. The October flower is the Cosmos. I made mine by layering a 2 Prima flowers and a Prima flower center. I stitched a stem. The gems and brads are all iridescent white for opals. The scalloped circle names the book I read that month as part of my project to read the 100 Greatest Books Ever Written: Faust by Goethe. The photo is a family friend dressed for Halloween. I used the matted photo to make a pocket for some of that month's memorabilia: ND ticket stub, reduced copy of a party invitation, movie stubs, and a tag with some other info. I've also included a baby shower invitation and thank you note.
