October's moodboard for Scrapping Good Times Scrapbooking Group  on Facebook. When I was given this moodboard as design team member, I immediately remembered a packet of plastic autumn leaves that I had purchased last year with the thought of adding to scrapbooking somehow.  I then had to hope that I could find an autumn photo and I didn't think that was possible, so I put this challenge aside and worked on other photos in my 2017 album. Whilst flipping through the photos in page protectors I discovered a photo that I had taken from passenger seat to depict the lovely autumn leaves on the side of the road as we drove to small country town. I found some of the other colours in the moodboard within a Jen Hadfield 12x12 paper pad and starting playing by dropping the leaves onto the white paper and photo. I got more purposeful as I continued and in the end it made this beautiful layout. Layering paper behind the photo, and add paper border around the whit

Used the Kaisercraft - Factory 42 collection and some other goodies from Kitaholic Kit September kits and my stash. Scrapmatts - chipboard cogs Metal Charms - silver, gold and bronze emphemera pieces from Factory 42 exclusive emphemera pieces from Kitaholic Kits Tim Holtz - tiny word stickers Paper from Factory 42 acrylic paint - from dollar shop wood veneer - Factory 42 Tea Dye ink - distress spray mist Watch my YouTube video if would like to see the layout made and hear me talking about the process. 

So I used the sketch from Scrappingclearly  facebook page, that I have added down below, as my base/guide. To begin with I freehand drew a heart on the white cardstock and used scissors to cut it out. Then on the back I added million different shaped fun foam to lift the heart. Once I decided what patterned paper I was using to backfill the heart I stuck the lifted by fun foam heart cutout on the paper. This was from Ubud dreams by Kaisercraft - you can check it out here.... Sekar paper I was looking at the sketch regularly to guide my layout in a positive manner. I noticed that the sketch looked like was patterned paper or like had crackled background, and I was thinking the white was looking bare. I tried to add stitching (hard after adding so much fun foam) and I didn't like it. I remembered I had gotten Heidi Swapp Teal modelling paste and used heart stencil from Kaisercraft to add some randomly placed hearts, both on white and inside the cutout
