“Autumn Leaves & Pumpkin Please” Album

Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins Please Album

Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins Please

I love all the beautiful colors of Fall.

As the saying goes, Fall is my favorite color.

They make such a bright and cheery Fall album.

This simple album is the perfect place to add all your apple picking,

leaf peeping, trick-or-treating pictures this Fall.

The “Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins Please” album was made using

Eileen Hull’s Field Notes Journal Die by Sizzix*.

I used paper from Echo Parks “Fall Fever” Collection*.

A few tidbits of information:

  • Before I die-cut the mat board, I like to use the Xyron Creative Station* to add adhesive to the back of the paper.  It gives the paper a complete layer of adhesive with no bubbles.  It really is easy to use.
  • The spine of the album comes with three sections.  I cut the first section off to make the album thinner.  It leaves two holes to add binding.
  • I wanted to try something different with how I added the pages to my album.  I inserted two mini book rings through the holes to hold my pages.
  • The mini book rings are approx. ¾” and with a little maneuvering they fit in the two side holes.
  • I used the cut off section to mark where I would need to punch the holes on my pages.

I wanted to make my album vertical instead of horizontal.

I love how versatile the Field Notes Die* is.

I created the word “autumn” using a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*.

I cut it the letters out using StyleTechCraft Gold Chrome Vinyl*.

Creating a Love Notes Tag Album for Valentine’s Day.

My husband and I are not particularly gushy or romantic people.

But we have, on a rare occasion, left a love note or two.

One year for Valentine’s Day, he declared he would write me a love letter

for each day of the week. I think he made it to day #3.

Love Notes Tag Album for Valentine's Day

For Valentine’s Day this year…

I thought I would pull out my Valentine’s Stash and create a small Love Notes

Tag Album using the Sizzix Library Pocket Die by Eileen Hull*.

I think I need to “Craft My Stash” more often.

It’s amazing the misc. things I found in my Valentine’s drawer and how well

they all went together.

Love Notes Tag Album for Valentine's Day

To create the Mini Tag Album:

  • I used the Library Pocket Die* and a variety of double-sided paper to create several pocket pages.
  • I decorated the pockets with Valentine stickers, ephemera, and hearts.
  • On the front cover, I used a library pocket cut from red cardstock and two from scrapbook paper.  I cut off the pocket portion of each one to make them into tags.  For quick assembly, I used a Xyron 3″ Disposable Sticker Maker* to add adhesive to the back of the scrapbook paper tags.  I adhered the scrapbook paper to the front and back of the cardstock tag.  I created a second layered tag for the back cover.
  • I added a gold edge to the sides of the front and back cover using a DecoColor Chisel Point Gold Leaf Pen*.
  • I created letter stickers using the inside letters of the Tile Alphanumeric Die, and white cardstock ran through the Xyron Sticker Maker.

  • The Mini Tag Album is bound together using a ¾” Mini Book Ring*.
  • The little Valentine’s coupons are from a very old “Authentique Papers” scrapbooking paper.

  • To finish my album, I might add a few sweet love notes.
  • And I may even fill out those Valentine’s Day coupons.
