Autumn Bliss

Even though I get bummed by the end of summer, I am really loving taking my boys around to all the pumpkin patches in our area. So I've got lots of pictures to use with the new collaboration between B2N2 Scraps & Gettin' Scrappy with Britt, Autumn Bliss. Such a great color palette to work with & lots of fun elements.

Refreshed

SAHM Scrapper has a lovely new kit out that can be used for just about any type of layout. Refreshed is full of great elements & has a fun color scheme that uses just a pop of orange; I found it great for scrapping a recent trip to Morton Arboretum.

Take A Hike

I loved the look of the new kit, Take A Hike, by Shel Belle Scraps that I had to sang it & make a few layouts. This was great for some pictures of one of our many trips to Morton Arboretum & a picture of my Dad out in Washington State. The animal elements are so cute & I love the darker color scheme. If you're planning on doing some camping this fall, this kit is a must have for your pictures!
