These are from our first time taking the little guy to the pumpkin patch right by us. It's a traditional experience from the hay ride out to the field to the animals to pet and donuts to eat - stopping for hand washing in between I promise!
I will admit that when I was working on this layout I was powering through a lot of fall pictures and on a mission to get it done as opposed to making a grand creative statement. Sometimes that's necessary and it's okay. Not every page has to be a masterpiece.
I love fall photos with all the colors and textures and I wanted to use these photos without a lot of cropping and still keep everything on one page. Normally I start off with a sketch for inspiration but this time I just laid down my pictures and moved them about until I liked how it looked.
Then I filled in the remaining spaces with paper, leaving one spot for journaling. While not planning on it, I thought the arrangement looked a little reminiscent of divided pocket page protector scrapping. So to break up the boxy feeling I layered my embellishments, a collection of fussy cut leaves and stickers, over the margins between photos and patterned paper.
I think extending the elements and titles break up linear look this layout would have otherwise. Even though there wasn't a lot of room leftover, once the photos were placed, I think it still ended up being a very nice seasonally themed page due to the embellishments and papers, that while used sparingly, make a good impact.

The paper you used for your pumpkin patch pictures is adorable. I love the patchwork feel with the pictures. What a great way to include 4 pictures and still show off the fun paper. Pinning this. :)
I love how this layout turned out!! So simple and fun.
