Fall Memories

 

Happy Friday! I am sharing another memory-keeping style using the new Time For Tea Designs October collection. I used the Foiled Mini Travellers Notebook to create a layout to remember a fun outing to a local farm that my husband and I went to. It was so much fun, especially since my friend Alison was there. We went on a tractor, through a VERY muddy maze, and picked pumpkins.

I edited my favourite photos from Fruition Berry Farm with the Snapseed app. I then printed them onto photo paper with my Xerox printer and cut them out with my paper trimmer. For the collages, I used the Adobe Spark app, I really like being able to add images of different sizes to my memory spreads so this app really helps.

I used the tab die from the Memory Keeping Essential Dies to mark where the start of this fall spread was in the notebook. I used a combination of photos, patterned paper, stickers, stamps and die cuts to create this eight-page spread. I used tape runner, double-sided tape and some liquid glue to adhere the various elements to my layout. 

The previously released stamps I used were: Squiggly Giggly, Workout Pigs, and the All Occasion Critters. For the dies, I used Anthony's Alpha's, Box Clever Die Set, Windmill Add On dies, Spring Blooms and the Zig Zag Frame & Tag Dies. For the papers, I used the Brighter Days 6x6' Paper Pad, Rainbow Brights Essentials 6x6 paper pad and the Sweet Summer 6x6' Paper Pad.

From the October memory keeping release, I used these products: Tall Alpha Clear Stamp Set, Sweet Summer Ephemera Pack, Memory Keeping Essential Dies, Noted Tabs and Mood Stickers, This & That Clear Stamp Set and the Creating Memories Clear Stamp Set.

I just LOVE the camera in the Sweet Summer Ephemera Pack, I thought it worked really well on this page as it has a photo collage on it. I matched the camera colours by using Kitsch Flamingo and Salvaged Patina Oxides to colour the heart that I die cut out from the Memory Keeping Essential Dies.

I just love the Tall Alpha stamps as you can customize any word, name or phrase. I just had to use the little piggy for this spread since we got so much MUDD on our boots in the maze! I thought the squiggles looked a little like mud so I stamped it and then added some very lightly blended Weathered Wood Distress Oxide, before adhering down the photo.

I really enjoyed creating this spread and look forward to flipping through it during the cold winter months. I hope my project gets you inspired to give memory keeping a try. I used to do this a lot but got out of the habit, I hope to continue to keep this up, if only for special days and memories like this one.
