More Fall Pages

It is the last day of September. I do not know about you but this month has flown by. Here at Making Memories we are in planning mode. We are planning for our blog, promotions, events, etc. for 2010. It is a busy but fun time. Sorry I have missed a few days this month for blogging. I promise I will do better. I wanted to post some additional fall layouts for you to enjoy.

Happy last day of September.

Autumn Splendor Pages

Today the temperature in Utah will be 86 degrees. Tomorrow it will be a chilly 56 degrees. Fall is here. I thought it would be appropriate to show you some fall layouts. These layouts were created using Making Memories' Autumn Splendor collection. This collection is easy to use, especially if you want to mix and match.

To create these layouts simply add paper as the background and adhere your embellishments. To top it all off add your photos.

Wilna's Vintage Findings Layout

Making Memories Vintage Findings collection must be one of my favorite collections ever. I just love the idea of having some embellishments that reminds me of little treasures. I want to share a bit about the process of this page.

I gave my 12 years old the camera and she took some beautiful pictures of my husband and I. I just told her to keep on snapping pictures and we laughed and joked around. At the end of the "photo shoot" I had 70 pictures and lots to choose from and edit. Next, I used Photoshop elements and ran some actions on the pictures. An Action is a one-click-make-your-photo-fabulous button. I searched the web long ago and came across the coffeeshop blog where you can find free actions for Photoshop elements. I used the honey retro action for these pictures. Combining the embellishments and pictures on a page is always fun. I wrote the lyrics from "so close" by Jon McLaughlin as my journaling. I thought it was very appropriate. :  )

Autumn Splendor Tags

As I was driving to work this week I noticed that the leaves are starting to change color. It is amazing to me how quickly the seasons change.

I wanted to share these fall tags to help ease me into the season. I am not ready to break out the fall sweaters yet, but it is coming. :)

 

These tags were created using Making Memories' Autumn Splendor collection. I hope you enjoy them.

On a side note it is Friday! Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?
