Autumn turns to gold

*** Thank you so much, Cath, for making this a Trigger Target! I'm honored! ***

The last week of September brought the beginning stages of fall here in New England. It's such an exciting time of year. The windows start opening, the squirrels are busy, fresh apple cider pops up in the markets, and of course, the leaves start falling. Well this particular leaf somehow found its way into my home and was lying on my living room floor. I became really attached to this first autumn leaf, so I saved it, photographed it, and put it on a scrapbook page (what else would I do with it?).

The Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World pushed me to finally make this page. So now I don't have a single dried leaf hanging out on my desk anymore.

There are a lot of little elements going on here, but the pattern paper and white paper really hold it all together. The great pattern paper is from DCWV "Modern Meadow" stack and there is also a strip of DCWV "Burlap" paper along the photo. The white piece was distressed around the edges with Distress Ink "Scattered Straw" and then splattered with spray inks from Dylusions. All other elements just build around those main pieces.

I don't usually journal on my scrapbook pages, but I thought this one needed a bit of an explanation :) To help preserve the leaf, I covered it in decoupage glue and it dried clear and firm.

There are a lot of different materials going on here, so click on the icons below for product details. The entire page is based on the colors of the leaf: gold, brown, red, and a touch of grey.

Hope you're enjoying your autumn :)
