Fall is in the Air!

Yes, Fall is in the air and now that you are shooting those annual photos of the family or out capturing nature in all her splendor when it comes to scrapping those memories, I have a few tips to add a new embellishment or two for a beautiful page.

Are you looking for ideas for taking photos this fall? Be sure to check out our Pinterest Pin Boards, The Scavenger Hunt Challenge and Great Photo Ideas for Mosaic Moments Pages for lots of ideas!

Sequins are trending in the card world and now into the scrapbook world as well. This border adds interest and color and is easily customized for your layouts!

More details on the how to can be seen on the Mosaic Moments website HERE.

Another border idea you may like came from a roll of burlap ribbon at the crafts store that I really liked. I took some of the elements, a leather cord, paper punched leaves, wooden beads and colorful cording to create a banner for the top edge of my page.

 

 

 

Details for making this garland are on the Mosaic Moments website HERE. Step by step photos will show you the how-to for each project.

Because the Mosaic Moments Grid System involves 100-1" squares for photos you have a lot of options for the design you put together. I love quilts, so I often incorporate elements of basic quilt squares in my designs. This is why I have two borders anchored with a Mosaic Moments Cornerstone Tile, one an apple and one a leaf! Here's how I dressed up the apple cornerstone.

I changed out the background tile and replaced it with patterned paper (Doodlebug Design) and green cardstock. The tile itself was white and to fit into the color palette I had planned I inked it with Tim Holtz Antique Linen.

The second border involved some of those quilt tiles. These were made using a Crafty Cutts Die that makes a cathedral square quilt square, a perfect spot to add a paper tile or 1" patterned paper tile.

I have an additional technique used on a cornerstone tile that I did not use on this layout, but the full page and techniques can be found HERE.

Come and stop in and see the full post and see how you can dress up your fall layouts with a few fall flourishes!

Used the Cricut to cut titles.

 

 Using an EK success punch to trim a photo to the size that will fit into the calendar layout I can have a photo a day of baby without a lot of work. Not sure when Baby will arrive? I provided the new mom with a set of stamps, ink and a calendar to start baby's year whenever she needs to begin!!

My Workin' Man

It seems like only yesterday that this little boy was working hard at playing in my kitchen. We'd been working on some DIY project and the workmate was still set up when I caught him with his work apron and tools...and his sippy cup at his side...diligently, intently imitating what we'd been doing.

Now this little man is all grown up and finished with school, the bread winner in my home, taking care of his mama. He makes me so proud!

Doodlebug papers, screw brads, and title cut with Cricut were used to make this page.

Mosaic Moments meets Doodlebug papers

 

Our second challenge for November was to use Mosaic Moments RTC papers these Ready To Cut grids are sized to perfectly fit in the new hybrid style scrapbooking 

 

 

I chose to make a mini album with photos of my granddaughter that was born earlier this year. Taking her name and using a 4"x6" size paper I was able to do one for each month of her first year...two photos still to be added. Using several different Doodlebug Papers, and many colors of Mosaic Moments Paper Tiles this book came together fairly quickly.

 

All folded up and ready to carry
