Ready for Fall

Hello friends!

Summer has crept away and we are now a week into our Fall season, I must say that I am a summer gal at heart and always find it bittersweet to say good bye to hot sunny days.  That said, oh how I love the colours and scents that Autumn brings.  Warm sweaters, comfort food and crunchy leaves are all happy things, but you can bet I will still be sporting flip flops for a while to come!

Today I am sharing two layouts that I have created with the gorgeous Hello Fall collection [1], and as we have come to expect Simple Stories [2], it does not disappoint.  It definitely elicits all of those warm and cozy feelings of fall.
 

I AM READY FOR THE LEAVES TO FALL
[3]
 
I began this page by adding a few sprinkles of water colour paints to my background to mimic the falling leaves and colours in  my photos, then I stitched it onto the orange patterned paper.
 
[4]

I placed my photo on top of a few pieces of patterned paper after matting them with some cut apart cards. Then I tucked a few die cuts and hand cut elements into my layers.
 

[5]

I love these multi coloured leaf die cuts from the "Bits and Pieces" package and used several of them on my layout, I did some hand-stitching to add the suggestion that a couple of these leaves were falling.
 

[6]

I also loved this quote, cut from a cut apart card, so much that I knew it needed to be my title.  I paired it with a die cut for more impact.
 

[7]

Always happy to add more embellishments, I took the opportunity to create a cluster to adorn the right hand side of my layout.

I finished off this page by creating a little Fall scene beside my photos.
 
VIEWS OF AUTUMN
[9]
 
I am a sucker for all things wood-grained and so this patterned paper definitely had to be used as a background piece for full impact! I added a few strips of other patterns to the top and bottom of my page for colour.
[10]

I created this cut file to anchor my photo collage and backed parts of it with patterned papers.
 

[11]

Combining alpha stickers and a chipboard piece I created my title, which was adhered beside a cluster with die cuts, stickers and more chipboard accents.
 

[12]

How sweet is this little fox?  He definitely need to be in the spotlight!
 

[13]

I love these little banner elements for adorning my photos.
 

[14]
To balance my title, which sits low on my layout, I added a small cluster of fall coloured flowers to the top of my page.
 
Thank you so much for visiting today!
