Happy first day of fall! I have just turned in my scrapbook pages for the design team I’m on at the local scrapbook store, but I took a few photos of the finished pages so I could share them with you as well! You’ll have to excuse the poor quality of the photos – I can never get them to look like the originals! That’s probably why I show you more of my digital pages than paper ones 
. Anyway, here they are!

Tips and Tricks
- Don’t be afraid to cut a photo into two pieces to span a two page layout – as long as you don’t cut apart focal parts of the image, it will add interest to your layout and help tie the two pages together.
- Just as in stamping, groups of small, repeated elements look best if some disappear off the boundary of the page. Just layer them on with some extending beyond the edge of the page, then trim off the excess.
- Let your photos inspire the decorative elements of your design: on one page I included a doodled scalloped edge that resembles the bumps on a pumpkin. The circles repeated throughout the design also mimic the shape of pumpkins, the theme of this layout.
Technique: Make your own pumpkin “Die Cuts”
Even if you don’t have access to a die cutting machine, you can make your own cute little pumpkin shapes by following these simple steps:
- Punch or cut out a circle shape in about the size you want your pumpkin to be.
- Use a brown or black marker to make curved lines on the circle that resemble the lines on a pumpkin.
- Cut small indents at the points where each line intersects the edge of the circle.
- Attach a stem shape cut from brown paper to the pumpkin where the tops of the lines meet.
