Hi! It’s Valerie checking in today with an autumn themed layout. Believe it or not, this is my first ever leaf pile layout. We live in a rural area with a decent sized yard and lots of trees, so raking leaves just isn’t something we ever bother with.
We’re too busy with corn and soybean harvests. But every child has got to do it at some point—rake up a giant pile of leaves take a leap. The weather was beautiful and I easily convinced my son to take a Lego break and enjoy some time outside with me.
Supplies:Frightful- 6x6 paper pad ;Jubilee -“Tangerine” 6x6 paper pad;Necessities -12 x12 wood veneer sheet and wood dots. Jubilee Tangerine “Fantastic” Sticky notes. Now and Then Mildred “Oh Happy Day” chipboard elements. Other: kraft cardstock, date stamp, alpha stickers, Silhouette Cameo (fall autumn puzzle/design id#68174).
When I was searching the Silhouette store for leaves, I spotted the Fall Autumn Puzzle leaves (design id#68174) and thought, “that’s it, these are the ones!” And based my layout around how I’d use these leaves.
I chose three different papers from the Frightful 6 x 6 pad and the yellow paper is from the Jubilee Tangerine pad. I also grabbed a scrap of the 12 x 12 sheet of wood veneer from the Necessities line. I used these for all the leaves. If you haven’t checked out Frightful yet, it’s a must! It’s Halloween themed, but the patterned papers and color scheme are perfection for Fall and Thanksgiving!
This layout came together so quickly which was a nice change a pace from my last layout which took a lot more planning. My last layout was for the November challenge—there’s still time to submit a layout if you haven’t already!
