Pumpkin Layout

Hello! It’s Renee Zwirek here today to share a step-by-step tutorial of a pumpkin-themed and titled layout.

I wanted this layout to look like it was framed. So, I cut out the center of my favorite paper in this collection to be the frame. The frame measures 1.5 inches all around.

For the mat of the frame, I cut out the center of white cardstock leaving 1/4″ of white to show.

I attached the frame and mat to my background paper and machine-stitched the four corners for added interest.

Here’s a close-up of one of the stitched corners.

I used a pencil to mark where I wanted to place my photo and then I added drops of color mist using a paintbrush.

Here is my photo!  I’m going back in time to 2005. Caitie’s First Halloween at the pumpkin farm! Yes, I dressed her as a little pumpkin and placed her in front of the pumpkin patch for a photo (cue the “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” music). Ha! Isn’t she adorable, though?! It got warm that day so I did change her into a short-sleeved dress right after I took this photo.

I layered a few pattern papers under the photo. I added an overlay to my photo and machine-stitched it a tiny bit at the bottom right corner (where I knew I would add some embellishments).

I used this pattern paper to cut out some triangles to add to my layout. I did add some more drops of color mist to the triangles before I machine-stitched them to the layout.

I added my title and a bit of journaling.

Now it’s time for some fun embellishments! I cut away some of the gray color from the branches as well as the bird of this tree sticker before adding it to my layout. Then, I added a few pumpkin stickers. They are too cute!

I cut apart a Kraft Bag and used a small punch for some pretty fall leaves to add to the page.

I loved this layout SO much that I put it in a scrapbook frame and added it to the scrap wall in Caitie’s room. 🙂
