Hello everyone!  I'm excited to share with you some layouts that I created using the Pumpkin Spice collection and some gorgeous flowers from Petaloo.

 

My first layout is titled "I am so thankful".  I decided to not use any photos on this layout and just do some journaling. 

 

 

 I kept my design fairly simple but embellished it a fair bit with chipboard, stickers and lots of flowers.

 

I created clusters of flowers on the top left & right sections of my layout.

 

 

 

I used the Bradz for the centres of the larger flowers.

 

 

I added a few sticker strips and the chipboard pumpkin shape overtop of the one that was already printed on the card.

 

 

I used some letter stickers and a chipboard word to create my title.

 

 

My second layout is titled "Hello Fall". It's one of my favourite times of the year. I wanted to capture a few of my fall decorations this year and some of the signs that I've started making.  Again I kept the design quite simple and used a 2x12 strip along with a 6x8 journal card.

 

 

I added a few flowers around my main photo and also used a photo transparency.

 

 

I've been trying to do a little bit handwriting on my layouts just to give a more personal touch to my projects.
