Inessa Persekian here sharing a new layout using Adventurous and Paige's Leaf Heart from the 20 Fall Cut Files!
When creating my fall-themed layout, I wanted to challenge myself by using Adventurous which is a travel-themed collection, proving that sometimes the best seasonal layouts come from thinking outside the box. I focused on warm autumn tones and textures to bring this layout to life, embracing the colors and layering techniques to evoke the feel of fall without needing traditional fall icons. I started with a foundational layer using Paper 9, which I complemented with a second layer of Paper 10 cut to 11x11 to create a frame-like effect. Adding a trimmed piece of white cardstock as the top layer, I brought in color by stamping yellow ink in a heart shape, creating splatters for an organic look. This splash of yellow anchored the layout, setting a warm tone right from the center. For my main element, I chose Paige's Leaf Heart from the 20 Fall Cut Files which I backed with various papers in rich oranges, reds, and yellows. The papers ranged from the 6x8 Paper Pad to larger 12x12 sheets, allowing me to mix patterns and hues in a way that feels both seasonal and visually captivating. I used foam dots to lift the heart, adding depth and dimension, with some leaves left unbacked to let the inked heart peek through. I built clusters with Chipboard and Floral Die Cuts. For the title, I combined a “Happy” Chipboard piece with a “Family” Puffy Phrase Sticker, finishing with a scattering of Enamel Stickers and Mini Puffy Stickers in coordinating colors. These final touches added just the right amount of detail without overwhelming the layout! By focusing on a warm color palette and selective layering, I transformed a travel-themed collection into a distinctly autumnal layout. This process taught me the value of versatility in scrapbooking - looking past the obvious theme and focusing on color and texture can open up creative possibilities in unexpected ways! Give it a try and let me know what you think!
