A Twiddleybitz Autumn layout

Here's a simple layout to share that was fun and quick to put together. I'd had these photos of Holly sitting around since Autumn (in Australia) and was just waiting for the right paper to come along to scrap them. When I saw the Simple Stories Harvest Lane collection knew I'd found it. I'd already put aside the Twiddleybitz chipboard elements because I thought they would look so cute with these photos!

I think I had trouble choosing papers to use with these photos because the purple sleeves on Holly's shirt seemed to clash with anything that suited the autumn theme. I remembered a good friend telling me once not to get caught up in trying to match everything perfectly. I toned down the saturation in my photos so the purple wasn't as overpowering, got them printed and went with this!

I don't often use stickers in my scrapping and really enjoyed how quick and easy this layout was when I put a few on it. I love creating whimsical little scenes and this collection is perfect for that. The chipboard elements were also really simple. I just inked them with different colours of Distress Ink, and put a few little bits of paper on the back of the owl. The flower was made with my  Big Shot  and Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die.

Well, this beautiful spring weather is inspiring me to get in and scrap the season we are actually in now! There are beautiful new collections arriving all the time at The Scrap Cottage so I won't have to look far for everything I need.
