Feeling Fallish | Erica Thompson

Happy October 1st!  I am so excited for this month and this new term with The Cut Shoppe!  October is my absolute favorite month of the year!  Today I am sharing a layout using the Finally Fall cut file!

I used the Feeling Fallish saying from this set and just love it to pieces!  I went into my stash and pulled out some Pretty Little Studio Oakley Avenue designed by Ashley Horton.  I also pulled some pieces from Clique Kits exclusive journal cards and the new Simple Stories Forever Fall collection.  I started with a white piece of American Crafts card stock, some Tim Holtz Distress Inks in lots of fall colors.  I added ink to my acrylic block, added some water and then dropped color all over.

I backed the cut file with the 4x6 pack of Oakley Avenue papers and one of the CK journal cards.  Both of these came in a past Clique Kit.  I love the fall colors in Oakley Avenue!

I used some Tombow foam squares to pop the cut file up to add some dimension to my layout.

I added a few layers of paper behind my photo of Mr. Eli James in the leaves. I used a lot of small stickers and die cuts to embellish around the photo and die cut!  I love all the fall leaves in the Forever Fall collection from Simple Stories.

Here is a look at the completed layout using the Finally Fall cut file !  I just love how it turned out and love how the orange in Eli's sweatshirt really pops and goes perfect with the colors in the layout!
