More Fall Projects with Ashley, Laura, and Valerie

Design team member Ashley Stephens created this stunning layout about her family's trip to Paris in the fall last year.  Here's what Ashley had to say ... "Before I moved here to Germany, I lived in Turkey where  it's hot and sunny 80% of the year (the other 20% is rainy). For those two years we really missed out on the beautiful changes that happen in fall! We got a chance to visit Paris last year, though, and got to see the oranges and reds in the trees, the leaves on the ground, and cool, crisp air! It was gorgeous there and we were so thankful to get that little glimpse.  For this page, I started with hand-stitched leaves and then built the rest of the page around them in fall colors. The toothpick flags help add that happy feeling that we had while we were there and also create a great focal point."

Design team member Laura Craigie created this adorable card and treat bag combo perfect for welcoming the cooler temperatures of fall.  Here's what Laura had to say ... "When I think of fall, I think of falling leaves, sipping hot chocolate, and watching my son's soccer games outside.  So, I decided to make a card, and a paper container to tuck a hot chocolate pack into for my son's coach.  I started off just making a bunch of leaves to use, and went from there.  The paper sour cream container is something I've seen lots of places lately, and easy to make.  Just take a 6x6" piece of paper, run glue along one side and make a tube.  Then you just adhere and pinch the tube ends in opposite directions.  For a more finished look crimp the ends together."

Design team member Valerie Mangan celebrates fall in the Garden state just like I do and documented a fun family outing on this gorgeous layout.  Here's what Valerie had to say ... "For this project I focused on a few snapshots of a very ‘fall in New Jersey’ experience; our annual trip to a local farm market where they go over-the-top at Halloween.  I mixed a few lines for this page but relied heavily on the Flora Lane line – a great versatile line. I cut small flowers from the With Love paper from the Floral Lane line and stacked them for some dimension and cut my little banners from scraps."
