Delicate Beauty
Designer: Gabrielle Pollacco

Designer Tip: I don't like to waste the beautiful patterned papers so when I use a paper to frame my layout I cut out the inside area and use it for another part of the layout. In this case I used the darker brown paper to cut out a circle design and I added brads and some kitchen twine to create my circle embellishments.  Another tip to share is that I handmade the blooms by gathering strips of lace.

A Fall Layout Tutorial

Hi everyone! Sarah here to share a layout made with my new favorite collection- Forever Fall! Fall is my favorite season and I fell in love with this collection instantly. It doesn't hurt that it matches some of my favorite colors together and matches most of my girls' outfits- hehe!

This layout can be created fast and is perfect for those fall photos you have been taking the last month.

Let's get started! Here are the supplies you will need...

Forever Fall patterned paper- Forever Fall Blaze, Forever Fall Dot, Forever Fall Bouquet, Forever Fall Dusk, Forever Fall Cut Outs
Forever Fall Noteworthy
Forever Fall 12x12 Chipboard
Forever Fall Layered Chipboard
Forever Fall Dimensional Stickers
Forever Fall Jewels

Step one: Trim the Forever Fall Bouquet to 11x10.5 inches and adhere on Forever Fall Dot.


Step 2: Handcut the Forever Fall Dusk into a wavy border and adhere to bottom of page.


Step 3: Handcut another piece of Forever Fall Dusk into a wavy border and adhere using foam tape overlapping with the first.


Step Four: Adhere the scalloped journaling card from the noteworthy.


Step five: Mat photos on white paper (2 4x4 and 1 4x6) and adhere to page.


Step six: Add a strip of Forever Fall Blaze across page centered with 4x6 photo. Add polka dot noteworthy frame over it.


Step seven: Cut out "The perfect Pumpkin" diecut from the Cut Outs paper. Adhere it with foam tap over the frame. Cut two green leaves from the 12x12 chipboard and adhere under the diecut. Adhere an orange leaf on top. Adhere two dragonflies from the dimensional chipboard on the side. Adhere the two tags from the Noteworthy under the diecut on the left side. Adhere two circle stickers from the 12x12 combo stickers on the tags.


Step eight: Punch three 1.5 inch circles from the Forever Fall Blaze paper and ink edges with brown ink.


Step nine: Adhere two of the circles together as shown.


Step ten: Add foam tape to the top of the circles as shown and adhere third circle on top.


Step eleven: Cut the leaf sticker from the dimensional stickers in half and adhere as shown to top of pumpkin. Cut a small strip of brown paper and adhere to top for stem.


Step twelve: Adhere pumpkin to page using foam tape. Add two chipboard dragonflies below it and add jewels to them.


Step 13: Make another pumpkin and adhere to bottom of page with foam tape. Use the leftover green chipboard leaf from above and adhere to top of pumpkin. Cut the leaf dimensional chipboard in half and adhere around pumpkin.


There we have it! A quick, fun, fall layout.
