It's raining leaves....


I am away at a scrappy retreat this weekend and I am getting a LOT done.  Of course, sketches and new papers help a LOT!  I just got all three new Crate Paper collections from My Scraps & More and I broke out some of the Acorn Ave to do scrap some of my fall photos.

We have been having a great time playing in the leaves, and we would throw some in the air and try to catch them again on non-windy days.





I did a bid of light color wash on the background with some watered down mists and them inked a bit through a hexagon stencil.  I cut a tree shape on my Cricut and then added a few leaves.



I layered a whole bunch of the chipboard pieces and backed some of them with patterned paper.  Behind the photos, I added some distressed vellum.


My layout is based on last Sundays’ sketch at Skissedilla:



Well, I only have a few more hours at my retreat, so I need to get as much done as I can!
