October Project Life with Paper Person

I was thrilled when I heard Kelly Purkey was opening a new shop called Paper Person! I’ve missed her designs in my spreads and I’m really excited to see what the new shop has in store. Kelly generously sent me some of the new products and I’m happy to be creating with her clean and on-trend designs again.

Today I’m sharing a project life spread I made using the October Kit, At Home, and the traveler’s notebook kit, Fall Forever. Sadly both of these kits sold out fast, but the digitals are still available!

I’m documenting in 9×12 this year and I love this size! I’m also documenting 2 weeks at a time which has made it easier to stay caught up. For this week, we celebrated the start of Fall with a trip to an apple farm to go apple picking. I added some photos from that trip, and decorated them using those beautiful leaf die cuts from the TN kit.

I also had to include this ridiculous photo of my cat, who makes us laugh most of the time with her funny poses. The stamped phrases are from the At Home stamp and “so tired” is from the Take-Out stamp.

For the right hand side, I used some photos from our various outings. Even though we’re at home a lot more this year, we still try to make time to enjoy the outdoors. I need the fresh air, and we’re lucky to live near some places with beautiful views.

I love that acorn card and used the Amelia alpha stamp with the Outdoors stamp to customize the card.

Lastly, I used the Take-Out stamp to document some doughnuts we picked up from a nearby shop after one of our hikes. I saved the packaging from the box I had been hoarding to use as the backing. I then stamped the “To-Go Time” from the stamp set, punched it out, and adhered it, with some letter stickers onto the card for some color.

Let me know if you have any questions! I’d love to see what you’re making with the new Paper Person shop products too!

  9. Look of the Week: Naomi Watts is twinning with her canine co-star
    orbiter
    What’s white and black and red all over? Naomi Watts and her 145lb co-star, Bing, a Great Dane, taking a dog walk on the crimson carpet for the New York premiere of “The Friend.”

    Directed by Scott Mcgehee and adapted from Sigrid Nunez’s 2018 novel of the same name, the film — set to release in US theaters on March 28 and in the UK on April 25 — follows a solitary writer and teacher named Iris whose life is upended after a close friend bequeaths his giant pet dog to her following his death.

    In front of the cameras Monday evening, the “Mulholland Drive” actor and Bing looked like they were cut from the same cloth — both in temperament and in their matching black polka dots. Watts was dressed in a white gown with fur-tufted spots that bore a striking resemblance to Bing’s own coat, but the Cruella de Vil comparisons ended there. Instead, Watts and Bing were captured in the throes of lots of paw-shakes, puppy kisses and head scratches.
    The dress that Watts wore, titled the “Domino” and designed by Jacquemus, debuted during the Spring-Summer 2025 Paris couture shows in January. The look was both elegant and offbeat, with a high-cowl neck and open-back, asymmetrical waistline that mimicked a French tuck. It was styled with a skirt that sprouted furry black polka dots, which close up were unnervingly reminiscent of body hair. But from afar they gave the impression of soft-edged dabs of watercolor bleeding downstream.

    The look was styled by Jeanann Williams, who has also been working with “The White Lotus” star Leslie Bibb. Williams’ decision to coordinate Watts with Bing was a new take on method dressing — the thematic styling trend that has dominated celebrity red carpets since Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” in 2023. Since then, the sartorial trope, which connects actors to their on-screen characters through clothes, has become somewhat tired — with some observers claiming that the 7-month-long “Wicked” press tour, in which Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande became prisoners to the colors green and pink, was peak saturation.

  31. Tyler O’Neill hits record-extending sixth straight Opening Day home run
    orbiter
    For six seasons in a row, Tyler O’Neill has homered on MLB Opening Day.

    Making his debut for the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday, O’Neill started the season with his record-extending sixth straight home run on Opening Day during his team’s 12-2 win against the Toronto Blue Jays.

    No other player has homered on more than four consecutive Opening Days, with the 29-year-old outfielder’s three-run shot sending the Orioles into a 5-0 lead at the top of the third at Rogers Centre.
    Todd Hundley (1994-97), Gary Carter (1977-80) and Yogi Berra (1955-58) all hit four consecutive home runs on Opening Day, while the Major League Baseball record for the total number of Opening Day home runs is held jointly by Adam Dunn, Ken Griffey Jr. and Frank Robinson on eight.

    “I’m just not trying to make too much of it,” O’Neill told reporters about his streak. “I’m just trying to go out, have a good first at-bat and see what the game gives me from there.

    “Obviously, I understand what’s going on, but it’s not like I’m going out there trying to do anything crazy.”

    O’Neill, who signed a three-year, $49.5 million contract to join Baltimore from the Boston Red Sox in the offseason, finished three-for-three with three RBIs and two walks against the Blue Jays.

    “It’s a little different when the lights turn on and you’ve got to show up, so it was really cool to see all the guys show up today,” he said. “We got after it out there.”

    While the first two games of the MLB regular season took place between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers in Tokyo last week, Thursday marked the first official day of the season in the United States.
