Hi, Creative Friends-

Tomorrow is the first day of October. If you are a bit like me, the month of October is the PERFECT time to create and decorate. Maybe it’s the shift of sunlight or the fact October ends on the spookiest night of the year, Halloween! Not matter the reason, October is a great time to dive deep into creating and decorating that’s why…

This week, here are 3 magic ways to create & decorate for a happy October…

  1. Say Hello To Halloween!: Are you looking for a chic way to say “Boo"!” to Halloween? Shop for poster art and beyond in my Halloween Art Shop. You will find ten different Halloween Digital Downloads in my online shop including a “You’ve Been BOOED kit.” You just purchase, download, print, and create the most magical Halloween ever!

  2. A Simply Batty DIY: This Batmobile DIY project is super easy and will bring on fun on Halloween! Just a few supplies and this downloadable and FREE bat template. This project only takes about an hour from start to finish. Hang the batmobile on a coat rack or on a covered porch and watch everyone go batty with excitement now and on Halloween!

  3. Halloween Round-Up: Sometimes finding magic in decorating can be as simple as sourcing the right ideas. HGTV has made a great article on “Our 100 Favorite DIY Halloween Decorating Ideas.” Spin through this ultimate photo gallery and find some epic ways to decorate for a happy October!

Make Magic Happen This October With These 3 Creative Ideas.

Hi, Creative Friends-

If you are a bit like me, you are starting to flirt with LOTS of creative ideas for Halloween. This is the time of year when things get magical with the darker-than-life decorations, cutie pie costumes, and fabulous festive foods.

So, Let’s talk about 3 ways to make creative magic happen this October…

  1. Print The Magic: I am SO excited to share with you my NEW online Halloween Art Shop featuring dark and inky Halloween Digital Downloads that are a magic way to decorate and create your way to the coolest Halloween ever! Purchase, download, and print one or all nine designs. Each design comes in multiple sizes so you can customize the art to fit your home. Since you are a Create & Change newsletter subscriber, use the code “HALLOWEENHUSTLE2021” and get 20% off your whole order. Get this offer now because it vanishes soon!

  2. It’s In The Reading: Truth be told, Mystics deeply scare me but I find the art on Tarot cards absolutely magical. Check out these two articles on the art and design of Tarot cards and find an interesting story about the history of the illustration of these magical cards! “The Best Tarot Decks Of 2022” by a “Little Spark Of Joy” and “A Quick History Of Tarot Cards” at the “Society6 Blog.”

  3. Create A Falling Star: Here is a simple but magical DIY Halloween Star Garland project that only takes about 20 min. It’s such a festive and fun way to get magical this October! The secret is in using black cardstock when printing the stars. Pair the dark stars with the clear fishing line for a super cool “falling star” effect that makes any entryway or fireplace truly mystical!

Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on or what you are doing to create & decorate for October.

Why October Is The Best Month Of The Year.

// Hi, Friends,

It’s been a VERY long while since we last chatted. The world has changed a lot since May.

If you are a little bit like me, you have been doing a lot of thinking and maybe some “Doom Scrolling.”

“Doom!”

“Doom!”

Doom seems to be all around us. Here’s the good news. There are a lot of amazing things happening in the world too. Like this month, October.

Who doesn’t love the fall season with its spicy pumpkin treats, crisp days, chunky sweaters, Halloween shenanigans, and Inktober.

Wait.

Inktober?

Yes, Inktober. It’s a fun drawing challenge, where each day in October, we create a new ink or pencil drawing based on a prompt. It’s a great way to get the creative juices flowing and take our mind off any lurking doom. Mr. Jay Parker, an amazing creative professional, is the genius who created Inktober. He provides a list of daily prompts to sketch up interesting visuals for Inktober.

Join in on 31- days of this creative deep dive or follow along as I sweat out a new illustration each day on Instagram.

Either way, let’s keep create and get through this chaos together.

Drop me a line on Instagram and let me know if you think October is the best month of the year or show me what you are creating.

Sending you lots of love and light today friends! //
