This is one of those "layouts" that began as a traditional 12x12 layout and went all sorts of directions until it finally became a pocket page layout. Have you had one or some of those? Layouts that begin as one thing but result in something completely different? I like that roaming, rambling process sometimes. Sometimes. Not all the time. It's like the scrappers version of a writers' stream of thought!
Bella Blvd's Hello Autumn collection, again! As well as Mia and pumpkins, again! Both of my kids look striking in orange... That thought has only just occured to me as I type! Love, this collection! Love all things Bella Blvd. From the day I began scrapping. But you know that already!
That banner cut out remnant from my previous layout is the WHOLE reason this became a pocket layout. I really liked the look of it and wanted to incorporate it but it just didn't look right on a traditional 12x12 layout and there were too many pictures crowded together on an 8.5x11 layouts. Hence, the pocket page was the perfect solution. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is insight into the inner workings of my thought processes, scary, I know! Should have saved that for Halloween, perhaps.
Incorporating a little Core into this too. A little cut file and some typed journaling. I often go with my own handwriting but for some reason, the typed word felt like what this layout needed.
A bit of a throw back piece on there, in the picture above. Do you recognize what I'm referring to? Everything there is Bella Blvd Hello Autumn (except for my daugher and the twine) except for one piece. Can you guess? The button! I have a small stash of "older" Bella goodies that I have saved and used sparingly on projects - projects that I love and are worthy.
Have you been to the pumpkin patch yet? I can't believe that Halloween is just a few weeks away...
Fabulous page! Love your photos!
