On our way to Canada, I stopped in my favorite stamp/scrapbook store in Buffalo. We don’t have anything like it in Rochester, so I’m always anxious to see what’s new. I picked up a Tim Holtz stamp set, a Hero Arts set of leaves, and a few papers and ribbons. I bought just one sheet of a Basic Grey Whiskers & Whiskers paper. It just called out to me for a fall layout, so yesterday I put together a quick layout of photos from our weekend in Canada.
I started with a digital template from Moon Ko which I’ve used in the past. I like the combination of landscape and portrait photos that it accommodates. Once I printed that out, I wanted some embellishment. I so envy people like Sian who seems to pull together the most wonderful collections of items into beautiful focal points on layouts. It’s not a natural process for me, so arranging the items on the journaling circle from my Scrapbook Circle kit took longer than doing the digital template. I’m happy with the final result, though. There’s a wooden ring with sticker from Sweetwater which has been in my stash for years, two leaves from Prima, a sticker from Jolee, and one of Studio Calico’s new rub-on birdies. I fell in love with them at CHA.
I finished taking the photos and writing my post for this weekend’s “Let’s Eat” Blog Hop. Are you ready?
I love Basic Grey! And I think you did a great job on the embellie . . . all the circles work so well togetherr, and the birdie is precious. I think the font is also perfect for the layout, too!

I love the combination of digital template… with ‘real’ paper and embellishment….this is what I want to be able to do!!
Ooh, beautiful fall layout – love the colors and your decorated circle – perfect!
This is a fantastic hybrid layout Karen – you do them so very well! The colours are great and the Basic Grey paper is so vibrant and warm 🙂
Love this layout! So in love with the color orange now so this is right up my alley
Well, the first thing I noticed about this lovely page was the pretty embellishment cluster – and then I scrolled down and saw my name and had to smile 🙂 Thank you – I think you’ve done a pretty amazing job yourself here!
Really vibrant! Great colour contrast between the background and the photos … Did you print the photos and journalling first, then attach the other items? Looks lovely – can identify with small things taking longer than the big ones!
Alexa, yes, I printed the digital template and then went to work on the embellishments.
Oh, it’s gorgeous – the embellishment cluster works so well! xx
