Welcome to the Autumn Colours Blog Hop with Two Scrapbook Friends!  You should have arrived here from Jan's blog.

For the blog hop I created two awesome layouts. The layout below is called "Hello Fall"


I used some stickers from the element sheet to do some of my "journaling"


I created this entire layout using a 6x6 paper pad so the title was cut out of one of the papers inside of the pack.


The second layout that I created is called "Love Fall"


I saw a layout on Pinterest using the same sort of layout of the squares and couldn't resist in trying it for a layout.  Again I added some stickers from the element sheet.


And of course to finish it all off I had to do some stitching.

Amazing Amanda! I love how you have taken my favourite element (stitching) and use it on almost everything you create :)

Nice work on both of these, Amanda, and you achieved a wonderful sense of symmetry on the 2nd layout and fun sense of whimsy on the 1st. Great work!
