I created this layout for a challenge at
Serenity Scrappers. They are giving away a PhotoElf software program. For the challenge, we were to create a 12x12 layout using three photos - using one of these three themes: Sights of Summer, Fall Frolic and Winter Wonders. I chose to do Fall Frolic, using photos of my boys (one of which is really my man!) from our trip to the Metro Toronto Zoo in late September.
I cut the large mat from Accent Essentials. The round photos were cut using the Creative Memories cutting system, which I also used for the circular mats behind them. I used Opposites Attract for the title and Speaking of Fall for the different leaves. I felt the page needed more, so went with a turtle from Walk in my Garden to pick up on the turtle crossing sign in one of the photos. I also embossed the title and the turtle's shell. I added a little journal box and some gems - and inked everything! I popped "BOYS", the larger leaves and the turtle. (I used the same yellow cardstock for all the lettering, leaves, turtle, and journal box - even though some cuts look like they are from a brighter yellow paper in the photos.)
