Round Here: Technique Tuesday / Ali Edwards Inspiration Week

Hey everyone!!

Well my computer is still not working properly and I got a nice gloomy rainy day yesterday to try and photograph my layout. So the photo has a bit of a glare on the title letters from having to use the flash. Sorry about that. :-(

Anyways, here we are at day four of Technique Tuesday /Ali Edwards Inspiration week!!
For the second layout this week I decided to focus on the time of year it is and do a fall layout. We just went on our annual family trip to the pumpkin patch last week so I used photos from that for the layout. They had so many cool pumpkins on display so we took a ton of photos of all the different ones.

The Patch

For this layout I used 3 stamp sets: Autumn Afternoons, Give Thanks and A Date With Ali.
I stamped a leaf like the one from the card yesterday and added it under my tags at the top of the page. I also stamped 'autumn' and the '20ELEVEN' on the tags. I added 'October' to the small label sticker in the top right corner and stamped various fall themed words along the bottom under the journaling. I love how it created a border with just word stamps. I don't know if you can see it in the photo but I also stamped 'Gratitude is a Memory of the Heart' on the red strip right below the title. I used red ink to give it a tone on tone look, which is a favourite thing of mine to do with stamps if I just want a subtle stamped image.

Thanks for stopping by today for day four and make sure to join me for the last day of inspiration week tomorrow with one more card to share. :-)

And don't forget about the giveaway!

Simply leave a comment on this post (and every post this week for more chances to win!!) and I'll draw a name after 11:59pm on Friday for someone to win a TT/AE stamp set of their choice!!

Steph :-)

I love your clean, perfectly embellished designs. I'm definitely coming back when I need an extra boost of inspiration! I think I could look at this a few more times and still see some new little detail each time. Love it!

I'm glad I found your blog. Just love your scrapbooking style. I've been meaning to get started but it looks daunting. Your LOs tell me otherwise.

Thanks for the inspiration.
