Autumn is here and
what could be more evocative of the season than this series of photos from twelve
years ago?
This design is
inspired by the October sketch from My Creative Scrapbook.
I began this
layout by stripping the top layer from a piece of corrugated cardboard. (Tip: Using
a spray bottle, lightly moisten the surface with water and allow it to set for
a few minutes. That layer will come right off, leaving some schmutz here and
there – perfect for a rustic look.)
Next, I selected a
few rub-ons from the 49 & Market Plum Grove collection and applied them to
a sheet of Bazzill cardstock, making two rows of DIY patterned paper.
I cut 6” from the
bottom of the Falling Leaves sheet and divided this into two pieces measuring
4.5” and 1.5”. The larger piece was flipped over, showing the stripes, then I
glued the smaller bit to the center. This was glued to the corrugate base, making
sure that there would be plenty of room to tuck the next items under the top
and bottom edges.
I tore the edges
of the cardstock/rub-on pieces, then cut these in half, allowing me to create
two layered pieces. These were tucked under the edges of my center piece. I added a couple of strips from the Laser Cut Elements to balance it out.
I selected five
tags from the Tag Elements sheet. Using a circle punch, I cut out the holes on
top. I glued some scraps of the Bazzill cardstock and glued them to the backs
of the tags, then punched out the holes again. After backing the photos with cardboard,
I attached them to the plain tags. I used a pencil to write the title and date
on the journaling tag. I cut five pieces of twine and attached them to the tags,
then glued four of them to the page, saving the patterned one to embellish the
top.
I layered six of
the leaf piles from the Laser Cut Elements and topped them with a rake. Next, I
added a leaf to the tag and decided that nothing else was needed there. To embellish
the top corner, I cut a couple of small strips from the cardstock scraps,
attached a couple of sentiments from the sticker sheet and two leaf pieces from
the Laser Cuts.
I finished my
layout with a title piece selected from the In the Leaves Chipboard Stickers.
