Hello Pretty Little Studio friends! I’m so happy to be back sharing another layout, this time using the beautiful fall colors and patterns from the Ginger Snap collection! My layout is titled Thankful + Blessed, and I love how all of the warm autumn colors and seasonal details came together to document this family photo.

I started with the Pumpkin Pie patterned paper from the Ginger Snap collection for my background. The beautiful mix of pumpkins, florals, leaves and other fall elements gave me so much detail to work with before I even began adding anything to the page. I love a patterned paper that does some of the work for you!

To create a place for my photo and embellishments to sit, I layered a large piece of the Candy Corn patterned paper, using the tiny heart side. I love how the scattered hearts bring all of the colors from the background into the center of the page while still being subtle enough that they don’t compete with my photo.

For my title, I used “Thankful + Blessed” from the Pumpkin Spice Die Cut Word Titles. The neutral lettering really stands out against the tiny hearts, and the sentiment was perfect for a layout centered around family.

From there, I had fun layering lots of different die cuts around my photo. I tucked in tabs and tickets from the Potpourri Die Cuts along with circles from the Birdseed Shapes Die Cuts to add little bits of color and pattern behind the photo.

The large turkey from the Backyard Wildlife Vintage Die Cuts was too perfect not to use! I made him the star of the embellishment cluster at the bottom of my photo and surrounded him with flowers and leaves from the Dried Flowers Die Cuts. I love the mix of the more realistic vintage turkey with the softer florals and foliage. It creates such a fun seasonal cluster and adds lots of dimension to that corner of the page.

I repeated some of those Dried Flowers Die Cuts in the upper-right corner along with a ticket to balance the larger cluster near my photo. I also added a word sticker from the Colors of Fall Wordfetti Stickers for one last little sentiment.

I love how this layout came together! There are lots of patterns, colors and embellishments, but the large area of tiny hearts in the center gives everything a little breathing room and keeps the focus on the photo and the story. And really, what could be more perfect for a fall family layout than being Thankful + Blessed?

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this layout inspires you to mix your favorite fall patterns and embellishments and document some of the people and moments you’re most thankful for.

Happy scrapping!
