Fall Mini Album

This is a mini album that I did using the new pink paislee autumn line. It is Alex and Derek playing in the leaves last year. I used the Bo Bunny "my edgy album"

The tree on the front cover was cut out of the die cut machine at Craft Warehouse and then I added black glitter to it. I also added plastic leaves that I glued down and made into a pile.

I saw a tutorial online on how to make fabric flowers. This line comes with swatches of fabric so I took one and made a couple of flowers. I really like how they look in the album, and they are super easy to make. I cut a strip of fabric about 1" and then hand stitched along one edge. Then I pulled the string tight and it makes the strip curl and you have your flower!

I saw the Title "the 1st taste of fall" on some other layout and had the perfect pictures for it! After getting used to sitting in the big pile of leaves, they started trying to put the leaves in their mouth! My new favorite thing to do is to use the new Tim Holtz stapler and gather ribbon. I used this technique with black ribbon across this whole page.

One of the things I loved about this line was that it came with a bunch of journaling cards. I love having something that matches the paper perfectly and leaves me a place to journal. If I didn't have something like that, I probably would always forget to journal.

The autumn splendor on the left page is one of the fabric swatches that comes with this line. The tree on the right side, I used the die cut machine at Craft Warehouse. I also used a set of Unity stamps. (the owl's and the gate are stamps that I stamped and then cut out)

I love this album and it makes me excited to take the boys out and play in the leaves this year! Let me know what you think!
