Happy Halloween! We would like to thank all those that stopped by and played along with us last week ~ your creations were super fun!! Before we start this week's challenge, we would also like to thank those joining us for our weekly sketch challenge. Every Thursday a NEW sketch will be posted.

This week our October hostess, Lori Rider, has challenged the OCC to a inspiration challenge. Create a card or project using something vintage, or vintage-inspired, on your card or project. Raid your drawers for old buttons and trims, an old tag or photo, or anything else you find.

There is no time limit on our challenges - feel free to participate whenever you are able. To play along, upload your creation to your blog or gallery, then leave us a comment linking to your project so we can check it out. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword: OCCC.
