I'm sharing a Life Documented spread for November with a "
thankful " theme. I used the Simple Stories collection called Pumpkin Spice. It was perfect for my fall themed layout.
These are photos of
my family and taken last season and a picture of my parents with grandkids that
was taken this past July. The orange shirt my dad was wearing worked great for
this Pumpkin Spice collection! Yes, I love it when a shirt matches the paper
I'm using ;-)
I kept the same theme throughout my spread
using yellow, pumpkins, a few flowers to decorate my filler pages.
Here is the left
side of my spread;
I did't have a lot
of pictures that are " fall " themed. I always love to include my
cats in the mix cause they are family too right?! A Thanksgiving dinner, and my
dad walking in the woods with my niece.
What is something I
did differently on this page, can you tell?
Well, I actually added some embellishments ON
TOP of my page protectors! Something different for me and I actually enjoyed
it. I was able to overlap from one pocket to the next and also add dimensions
to my page. It is a great way to add texture as well.
Here is the right
side of my spread;
I added a bit more
journaling on this right side, nothing planned it just happened that way. I cut
the pumpkin from a larger 4x6 journal card and added it to a 4x4 piece of paper
to create my own journal card.
this next photo
shows the diecuts on top of my page protector.
I added foam dots to make it more dimentional.
as you can see,
adding some extra stickers and embellishments adds a bit of interest to a page.
Hope you can give this a try !
