OUAS - October Reveal

The new challenge is up for the month at Once Upon a Sketch.  When I read the quote for this month's challenge I was inspired by the last phrase...  "if things don't work out, just take another shot".  
 My teenage children are always making silly faces when the camera comes out, and sometimes it is very difficult to get a decent pic, so I have 2 photos on my LO... one is very civilized and the other has Brittany making one of her crazy faces!!

Pop on over the the OUAS site for some inspiration from our super-talented Design Team, and while you're there check out all the prizes up for grabs from our fabulous sponsors.  Don't forget there will be another reveal on the 15th of this month for more gorgeous creations from our DT.
