Hello Simple Stories friends!
It's Nathalie with you today right on time to share some Fall inspiration featuring the beautiful CIDER & DONUTS collection. This collection is just so perfect to document all things cozy and fun! I love the designs and colors, so it was easy to put this layout together.
I wanted something rustic but modern for my layout, and I think that the paper weaving on the background just makes it all work nicely for the story,
For my background, I started with Color Vibe Warm white for my base. Next, I trimmed 1/2" strips from Color Vibe Blush Cardstock and Comfy Cozy patterned paper. I weave the paper strips leaving a 1/4" space between the strips. Once I had a column of about 4x9", I carefully trimmed the edges and added foam adhesive to the back of the strips.
I layered a piece of patterned paper from the 6x8 paper along the horizontal line of the page. I need something to contrast the background, so I decided to layer a piece of Mint Color Vibe on top of the strip of patterned paper. Then, it was time to adhere the weaved paper so that it lays perpendicular to the paper strips on the layout.
I always love using the Chipboard Frames to bring the focus of the page to my photo. This time, I carefully trimmed the small squirrel from the frame, then backed the empty space with the photo of my family at the Pumpkin Patch. Once I set on the background, I decided to cover the rest of the elements on the frame with pumpkins, flowers and leaves from the collection. I made sure to repeat elements in each of the clusters so that they bring the page together,
My clusters are placed on the layout, so they form a zig zag through the page. This helped with the positioning of the title. I found the lovely sentiment in the Bits & Pieces set and adhered it to the page with a bit of foam adhesive. A few enamel dots complete the layout
I love how this turned out! I hope this gives you some inspiration for your next project. The beautiful CIDER & DONUTS collection is truly a Fall must-have!
XO!
