Autumn Traditions

Good Morning Friends. We are busy volunteering at the Fair this weekend, so I thought I would share a layout from last year's fair.

The main gates into the fair are decorated every year and we always try to get some family shots with the display. I created this layout to enter in the fair under the category - Scarecrow Junction.

Here are some closeups....

I cut the title and the wheat stocks on my Cameo. I stamped on my background with an alphabet stamp and then layered on Tim Holtz stencil paste.

I used burlap as I felt it gave a similar texture as the straw bales in the photo.

I used the sketch from My Creative Sketches for my starting point....

I was also inspired by the challenges at Scrapping4Fun - #75 Fall colours 

Product List: Jillibean Soup, Bella Blvc and Carta Bella papers, Merci tin pin, American Crafts dimension stickers, American Tag Co. wood tag, Tim Holtz texture paste and Distress Inks, the burlap tag, burlap, brads and twine are from my stash.

GO TRAIN - Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal

Happy Sunday morning everyone....time for another Lasting Memories Layout Challenges Design Team reveal. We are continuing with the theme of "Direction" for the month of September, meaning which direction did you go this year based on something you did? Today's challenge is "ALL AROUND" - Anything Goes that shows Direction....or use CIRCLES on your layouts!!

Here is my layout....

This summer we planned a surprise adventure for the gang. We took the "Go Train" to Toronto to go to the Ripley's Aquarium. The boys loved the ride on the train as much as the aquarium.

Here are some closeups....

I added black stitching for my circle to mimic Train tracks. I also tucked a DCWV Envelope into my layout to keep our ticket stubs.

My journaling was easy to add with my new WeR Memory Keepers Typecast.

Product List: AC Cardstock, Bo Bunny and MME papers, MME flair pin, DCWV envelope & Thickers. The buttons are from my stash.

I used the sketch from The ScrapRoom...

I was also inspired by the Scrapping4Fun Challenges - Challenge #74 - Boys, Men, masculine.
