{Fall photos}

I think that fall is one of the most amazing times of year for photography.  The colors are so bright and vibrant!  There also so many opportunities and events to take photos all you have to do is look out your front door. 

Here are a few photo ideas for this fall season:

~Take photos out a window in your house as the leaves change, then put them all together on a spread to show the progression.

~Pile up those leaves and dive in.  Make sure to take the picture looking down on your subject!

~Pumpkins. I love taking pictures of my pumpkin finds, the carving and the end result.  Also show the expressions on your child's face as they dig into a pumpkin for the first time.

~Halloween  Does your family go all out for this holiday?  Take pictures of the costumes and tell how your child decided on what to be "this year".  They will love to look back on it in years to come.

~Fall decor.  This time of year is one of my most favorite times!  I decorate almost as much for Fall as I do the Christmas Holidays!

Here are some photos that I have taken already this Fall!

{Spooking Challenges}

We have a super SPOOKY Halloween line that is just right for all of your little gouls and goblin's events. The bright colors of our Halloween Paper Pack are sure to match all of your Halloween traditions. Embellish the page with our Candy Corn Brads, or Halloween Expressions and a completed layout is just a few moments away. These products are so versatile that you can even use them to make invitations, craft items, or to brighten up a gift bag!  I had a great time creating this page using all of my left over scraps from other projects.  Sometimes it is fun to challenge yourself to create with a limited amount of embellishments.  I find that working with “what I have” has inspired me to make some of my most creative layouts.  There are also lots of on-line sites that offer challenges on pages to make using "predetermined" products.  An example would be use 10 buttons, three patterned papers, and two pictures.  It is amazing to me how this can lead me in a whole different direction on a layout.  Try a challenge today!
