Hello everyone ! It is Mindi here with you today. I am so excited to be sharing some pocket pages that I recently created all about the first week of Fall. The Hello Fall collection was perfect for this particular project. The colors in this one are soooo very pretty. 

 

As I have mentioned before I typically do my pocket pages in a weekly format. This week was no different except for the fact that I added an insert to accommodate more photos from the week's activities. Here is what both pages look like minus the insert that I will get to later. It is a great mixture of everyday life and a few fun events that took place. That is what is so fabulous about pocket pages. It all can have a home together. 

 

 

One of my favorite parts about this collection are these cute trees. I chose this blue card with the trees on it for the background of my title card. This card was embellished already so it was easy for me to add my week number and the dates for the week. I also want to point out that I cut out some of the word phrases from a 3x4 card. I love all the little word strips that are throughout this collection. I knew that I wanted to use them some how so I cut some out and added them to my title card. Don't be afraid to cut up cards and use them in new and custom ways. It can really stretch your stash. 

 

 

This week turned out to be very photo heavy. One of the things I like to do when this happens is to print some smaller photos to go into the smaller pockets. Lots of fun things happened this week, even a half a day at Disneyland. I love how they decorate for Fall there at Disneyland and so I made sure I got a photo of the Mickey shaped pumpkin ears on the light post. 

 

 

The card that has the fall leaves on it is my favorite from this collection. This week I started to decorate for Fall around the house. I added a small photo of my Fall leaves and added it to the top of that card. Let's move on to the right side now. This is the insert that I mentioned earlier. I used only half a page protector to make my insert and I love how it turned out. This first page of my insert is all about our day at Disneyland. I added lots of photos and embellished a few of the cards. The colors in this collection were a great match for our Disneyland day. Lots of blues, oranges, and yellows. 

 

 

 

 

On the other side of the insert page I added one card with a photo of some sunflowers I had bought. I decided to make a little frame with washi tape to go underneath the photo. I wanted to be able to see the frame and so I did it on an angle and then embellished around the photo. The whole line of embellishments, stickers, enamel dots, ect. make it so easy to embellish your pages so beautifully. 

 

 

Here is what the bottom half of the insert looks like. I added a few photos and made a custom journaling card. I needed some more color onto this insert page so I added some patterned paper onto the top of the journaling card. On the bottom I added those adorable logs with the word CAMP on it. 

 

 

This right side of my spread is all about some fun fall events that typically happen around here. Football and Camping !! We have to wait until the weather has cooled down to go camping and Fall is always the perfect time. The boys went camping overnight on Friday and I included some photos from their adventures. I even stuck their parking pass on one of the filler cards. That will be fun to look back on and see how much they payed for a camp site. 

 

Another one of my favorite cards is the one that says Fall. I combined the F from the chipboard set with the rest of the word fall. I cut off the F from the die cut piece and it made for a fun custom card. On the bottom there is a photo of their campsite location and then a journaling card. Along the bottom corner of the journaling card I thought that would be a great space to add a cluster of embellishments. I also added the strip of washi tape. 

 

 

 

Thank you so much for joining me today as I walked you through my Fall themed pocket page spread. I hope you have found some inspiration to document all of your wonderful Fall moments.
