Feeling Crafty
9/19/2007 10:37:34 AM (Eastern Daylight Time, UTC-04:00)
Last night, GinaMarie and I were feeling crafty, so after work, we got together at my place for some hot apple cider and scrapbooking. As mentioned in a recent blog, I've been wanting to make a page about fall, since it's my absolute favorite season.
I decided to use product from the
Love, Elsie Jack + Abby line
from
KI Memories
. I felt the colors worked wonderfully for an autumn-inspired page, and I had fun mixing and matching all of the coordinating embellishments.
I'm happy with the end result. I like that I was able to incorporate an array of different colors, and the Love, Elsie accents were playful additions. I also loved using the
fabric patterned paper
.
When I started the page, I planned to include handwritten journaling with a few of my favorite fall memories. That changed, though, as the page neared completion. Instead, I ended up using a few key words:
books, blankets, traditions, colors
and
memories.
I cut the words from the back of the
Jack + Abby Words patterned paper
. I then used the
American Crafts
chipboard arrow to connect the title to the key words.

The more I look at your page, the happier it makes me feel. You did such a great job birthday girl!

Too busy and the focus is on the embellishments, not the photo. Sorry, I dislike.

The embellishments are not fall related and placement too random. Polka dot paper distracts from the photo.

not too sure on the polka dot paper (agree with the comment above, seems distractive), but LOVE the use of embellishments, and how no-fall embellies compliment the page so well, and of course, love the colors!
