Fabulous Fall

Hi everyone! The tide has definitely turned here in Michigan as far as the seasons go, and we are definitely in the grip of autumn. Most of the gorgeous colors have passed and the leaves are gone thanks to a few windstorms, but I've been consoling myself by scrapping as many of the fall colors as I can before the emphasis turns to the upcoming holidays. Here's what I've done so far this month:

This first layout was done for a challenge at Oscraps that wanted you to scrap about fall but also required you to use some Word Art on your page. I scrapped a photo I took in late October at a local park:

 

The bulk of the layout came from the kit Hello Autumn by Lynne Anzelc Designs:

The mask came from FotoBlendz Overlays No. 11 by Anna Aspnes, and the word art itself came from Autumn Days Overlays and WA by Palvinka Designs:

I also used the same WA and Overlays pack for this layout for the Artsy/Mixed Media challenge at Oscraps:

Other products I used were September Garden by et designs, Age Is Just A Number Collection by Vicki Robinson, and WaterColor FotoBlendz No. 6 by Anna Aspnes; however, the bulk of the project was done using Last Sunny Days by et designs:

 

Continuing the autumn theme, here is a layout I did for the White Space challenge at Oscraps, which will also do double duty as a layout for the Clean and Simple challenge at Just Art Scrapbooking:

I went back to Palvinka Designs' shop and grabbed the full Autumn Days Kit that the add-on set I showed you above coordinates with:

My first inclination was to continue the autumn theme when I saw the latest challenge prompt from the current AnnaColor Challenge at Oscraps:

 

While I did keep on using the Autumn Days products, I also used Anna Aspnes' WaterColor FotoBlendz No. 6, ArtsyKardz Moira MultiPack, Artsy Stains No. 7, ArtsyPaint No. 13, and a brush from ArtPlay Palette Saffron Villa (retired) to go in a slightly different direction:

 

Speaking of a completely different direction, the final challenge layout I have to show you was done for the 52 Inspirations challenge at Oscraps: 

I was playing around, experimenting with using papers to color in a black-and-white stamp, and it was fun to see how many of the weekly offerings worked together for my page:

52-2020-no-27-Beach Treasures Stamps by Idgie's Heartsong:

52-2020-no-39-Spray Painted Papers by Crafty Button Designs:

52-2020-no-23-Grunge Is Good Papers 5 by Joyful Heart Designs:

52-2020-no-28-Beach Vibes by Vicki Stegall Designs:

  

 

Again, a note about the 52 Inspirations subscription; a new mini is released every week and you can purchase individual packs if you prefer; however, the subscription for the whole year is the best value, AND, purchasing the subscription at any time during the year gives you access to all the mini kits for that whole year! Sounds good? Check it out HERE!

With that final note, we are all caught up. Thanksgiving is coming up, and I may not be done scrapping autumn-y pages; so stay safe, and make sure you come back and see me soon!
