Hello there October! Autumn is definitely on it’s way here (I’ve been collecting conkers already) – I’m looking forward to seeing all the gorgeous autumn colours in all their glory. The last quarter of the year is always my favourite to illustrate (Halloween, autumn, Christmas – I’m looking at you!) so I am hoping to get the chance to sit down with my pens and pencils and get creating very soon.

Many thanks to everyone who played along with last month’s Clustered 2 template, I hope you had fun with it! Rafflecopter picked Bebimora’s beautiful sun-filled Swan layout as our winner for September, please email me or message me over at The Lilypad for details of how to claim your prize Bebimora!

This month’s template was created by my pal Christa and is full of fun painterly washes, geometric shapes and awesome shadows! I’m really looking forward to seeing what you create with this one.

Here’s how the Creative Team used the template:

I’m going to mix it up a little this month by asking you to leave a link to your layout in the comments so we can all visit your gallery and leave you some love! (Please let me know if you have any problems leaving a comment). The winner will still be picked at random – I will probably use the super high-tech method of closing my eyes and sticking a pin in a piece of paper 😉

THE CHALLENGE:

1. Download the free template below. You can use it as is, flip it, resize it, add to it – anything you want to make it your own!
