Fall Colors

I think this is the first time I have scrapbooked a layout without a single picture of a person on it. It was a lot of fun doing a layout showing off all the fun sights we see every year at Vala's Pumpkin Patch. It is such a fun place and certainly doesn't really "feel" like fall until we have visited each year! I got this idea from a sketch designed by Brenda Arnall. You can find her in the November Creating Keepsakes magazine article entitled " Easy Patterns". She has a book entitled that as well. Her articles are always excellent and give you basically step by step directions. I LOVE her style. I have take a few classes from her at CKC and she is a GREAT instructor. I have also got to spend time visiting with her and she is very down to earth and a nice lady. If you ever get a chance to meet her or take a class from her, do so, it will be well worth your while. The papers featured in this layout are from Crate Paper and look great with all your fall pages! I got all these great papers in my October Personalscrapper kit! I have a few pages still under construction and hope to finish them tomorrow, I am behind on the October layout a day contest and NEED to catch up! I am waiting on some pictures that I ordered online. I am trying several places for photofinishing as I have had troubles with Walgreens (long story) and their photos not being as good as I prefer. So I am trying out Wolfe Camera and Scrapbookpictures.com to see if I can decide which one to use for some of my photofinishing. I was pleased with Wolfe Camera but not OVERJOYED and I am still waiting on the ones from scrapbookpictures.com, so I will let you know what the verdict is when I get them. I am not sure I will like waiting on my photos to get here, after getting them in one hour its hard to change, but if the quality is better I plan on doing just that. I will just have to learn some patience ~ LOL! Tune in tomorrow for use your stash Tuesday!
