Hello Pretty Little Studio friends!  Today, I am sharing my inspiration layout for the October challenge for the FaceBoook Community Group called Fall Layout Without A Fall Collection!  While we are eagerly awaiting the new collection, Heartwarming, I am asking you to create a fall layout without using a fall collection!  You can use any Pretty Little Studio collection that you'd like to use but it has to be anything other than a fall collection. 

I pulled out my Sunkissed stash and began to create.  The first thing I did was cut some cute little stitchable pumpkins and letters out of the  from the Accent pack! I set about stitching the pumpkins and each of my letters by hand.  I also cut the Sunkissed Blossoms double sided patterned paper down to 8.5"x7".  I fussy cut the floral border from the bottom of that same patterned paper and then flipped it over and cut a 2"x12" border of the striped side.  I chose Sunkissed Orange Smoothie for my base paper.

Once all of my stitching was complete, I was able to adhere all of my elements to the background paper.  I used the striped border as a foundation for my stitched title.  I added my photos to the Sunkissed Blossoms paper that I also stitched a border around.  Instead of matting my photos, I used 2 scalloped borders from The Scent of Spring Scallop Border Die Cuts pack.  I also added a sub-title from the Fun In The Sun Word Titles pack and use foam tape to pop it up just below my larger stitched FALL.  I added some clouds and flowers from the In The Cloud Die Cut pack and a label from the Sunbeam Label Die Cut pack.

You can watch my layout come together on my YouTube channel! 

Here are some close -ups of the details of my layouts!
