Simple Stories and Great Country Farm

Simple Stories Harvest Lane is so fun!  I love all the Fall colors and wood tones!  I used the fun stickers that coordinate with the Harvest Lane line to make my layouts come together quickly.  The coordinating papers are really fun and have a homespun, fun feel to them.  The colors coordinate well with just about any photos so if you don't have any fun pumpkin or farm photos, don't worry, you will definitely have photos to match this great paper line!

Simple Stories Quick Mini Album

I love Simple Stories and the Harvest Lane collection is no exception!  I love how Simple Stories makes your projects come together so easily.  Using the 6 x12 sections of the 12x12 pages I made a very quick album with a few quick snips of coordinating papers and matching stickers.

I plan to fill it with our family's favorite fun Fall 2012 photos!
  You can create one for yourself in 30 minutes or less!

Come to the store and check it out for yourself!

Fall Layouts with Hello Fall Papers

I used the fall themed paper to create a showcase for the photos of a day I spent at Giverny.  The background is Red Splendor.

I used half of the left page to creat the title.  Using the Cricut, I cut “Fall” from Burnt Orange Knit and sprayed them with Spiced Marmelade Glimmer Mist.  I cut “at” out of a circle using the Word Party Cricut Cartridge and placed it on a scalloped circle.  Giverny is made with Daily Junque wooden letters.  To make them cooridinate with the colors of the papers of stamped the letters repeatedly until I got the color I wanted.  I used Tea Dye, Frayed Burlap, Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmelade & Fired Brick Distress Inks.

Burnt Orange Knit rectangles sprayed with Spiced Marmelade Glimmer Mist fill the space between pictures. 

Using many of the items available in the Hello Fall collection  I was able to create a showcase for the pictures, quite simply.  A canvas strip ties the title to the pictures.  Crepe lace stickers, a quote from the Cardstock Die Cuts and the journaling cards embellish the page.  Prima leaves and unique buttons from Scrapbooks Plus finish the page.

Another completely different layout was made using the same papers.  This one uses Little Leaf Pile for the background giving it a much more fun them.  All that is added is a few cutouts made using Tim Holtz dies and a strip of Tim Holtz film strip.  A Tim Holtz samp was used to add a quote about my experience was added to the photo mat. 

This demonstrates two different looks with the same basic colors.

My Fall Journal by Esther

When you have scraps left from creating pages, try making a journal. I used a 6”x11” piece of chipboard for the back. It was covered with the patterns from the Jillibean Soup Staples Collection in the DT October kit. The corners of the back piece were shaped with the Chomper after the glue dried. Each of the other cardstock pages was cut 6” in width with the patterns staggered in length. The green plaid pattern was 9”; orange plaid was about 7”; and the others shorter.


The cover is a transparent sheet that was rubber stamped with Stazon in leaf designs. Leaf shapes were punched and glued to the layers. Two holes (made with the Crop-a-dile) in the top are used to thread a 12” length of ribbon to hold the journal together. This gave me the chance to use the memo sheets to record my memories about reading books and sharing with family and friends. The “Autumn Memories” is a Karen Foster sticker. Now, if I can only find the time to journal the season’s activities, I will have a keepsake. This could be an idea for a journal for each season, too.

I could not get the photos into this blog; please view the Scrapbooks Plus Design Team Wall on the website for the pictures of the journal. WWW.Scrapbooks-plus.com
