Fall Is Here - Sketch N Scrap #322

Hello, hello! Happy Tuesday to you! 

I am popping in today to share the layout I made using the November 1st sketch at Sketch N Scrap. Here is a look at the sketch:

This is a great 3-photo sketch!

Here is what I came up with:

For this layout, I used my November kit for Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash. The papers I'd included in my fall layout kit were perfect for these photos of Abby and Ada in front of our pretty maple trees. 

Here are a couple of close-ups:

For my title piece, I used a 3x4 cut-apart card that I cut down into a square. I was going to embellish the empty space, but nothing looked right, so I left it alone. I think it is perfect the way it is!

I had included these phrase die-cuts from Pretty Little Studio in my kit. The colors matched really well, and they served well for a bit of "journaling" on my layout. 

I had a little trouble with this last embellishment area. I was limited on embellishments from my kit, but I wanted to try to stick with what I had in my kit instead of digging into my other supplies. I finally settled on die-cutting a doily to hold the who and when, and called it good.

I find I always have trouble with embellishing when I use a patterned paper for the background. Everything I try just makes my layout feel busy, so it's another layout with minimal embellishments. That seems to be happening more often for me here lately! 

Be sure to check out Sketch N Scrap to see the sketch and how the design team used it for their layouts.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Have a great day!
