Take Inspiration from an Autumnal Page

Ok, so I really struggled with the challenge this week on Shimelle's blog which was to take inspiration from one of her autumnal scrapbook pages. If you hop over to her post, you can see a process video of how it all came together.

I had to abandon this page half way through as it really wasn't working - I'd aligned everything to the right, as in the inspiration page, but a good night's sleep later, I realised that that meant your eye was drawn to the shed, rather than the people. A quick flip of the page, and suddenly everything worked much better! As well as the layout, I also took inspiration from the leaf motifs and found some paper with some simple leaf shapes which were nice and easy to cut out!

The background paper is from the Simple Stories Sn@p! basics collection and the rest of the papers are from my scrap box. The chipboard pieces are from the My Mind's Eye Market Street, Nob Hill collection. The short journalling is on a piece of vellum which gives a really subtle look.
