Capture / Large Photo Fall Layout with Ginger Snap
Suzanna Lee • August 19, 2026

Hello Pretty Little Studio Fans! Suzanna here today to share with you a Fall (or Autumn) layout created using the Ginger Snap collection. Fall is my absolute favorite season so any opportunity I can get to document it, I'll take. With kids going back to school here in the northern hemisphere, it means Fall is around the corner - not much longer now!

I strayed from my "norm" of a white cardstock background and used one of the ledger papers as the background upon which I built the remainder of the layout.

The top portion of the layout is a large photo; we were at a Virginia Tech football game. There's nothing more classically American and Fall than a football game. I didn't grow up with football so while I STILL don't understand the game, I went for the Metallica Enter Sandman VT team entrance and the people watching. It was a beautiful day and the watching was good. The way the banner duplicates the arc of the stadium seats is subtle detail that I love. Note the popped up heart for some dimension and the small strip of scallop sticker that are little details.

Moving down and across the layout one sees another cluster. The banner was low effort on my part with little work necessary with the faux stitching and built in embellishments. This cluster required more work. Lots of bits layered here; die cut label, a popped up big word phrase, little word phrases, an acorn die cut and a tab. Clusters are easy to create with such bountiful embellishments to choose from!

The bottom, left of the page is the third and final cluster; more the home of additional, smaller support photos and the title. While I could have created my own title, the Pumpkin Spice Word Titles are chock full of great titles so I went the easy route and used one of those. A tag, zig zag border sticker, and die cut Oak leaf just add a fun touch to finish things off.

If you are of the process video type, be sure to head over to my YouTube channel for a peek at how this layout came together! You can find my channel HERE (http://www.youtube.com/c/SuzannaLee).


Have you started any Fall/Autumn documenting yet? What are you most looking forward to this Fall/Autumn? No more VT football for us, our son has graduated and we don't have our season tickets anymore. But U of A football tickets we have. It's just not the same, desert hot football.


See you back here next time!

My name is Suzanna and I live with my husband and 2 cats in Glen Allen, Virginia. My kids attend the University of AZ and occasionally remember to send their Mum some pleaded for pics so that they too can appear in the memorykeeping. I have been creating and documenting for a long time!  My main focus had always been creating 12x12 layouts but as life changes (kids grow up and move out) so too does my project size. I began using a memory planner in 2022 and have been hooked ever since – it’s my favorite format of documenting the stories and photos of daily life. We have been traveling more and the intent is to put each trip in a 6x8 album. I’ve been filming process videos and sharing my process on YouTube since 2016. I love to travel, read, hike and cook/eat when I'm not at my craft table creating. I suppose I like to work out too but more begrudgingly than lovingly! LOL!
