Naturally Perfect 

Jennifer Wuthrich

Each year as September approaches and the weather starts to cool from the long hot days and nights that we have become accustomed to during the summer, so does my excitement for the fall season. 

I love everything about fall!  In fact I love fall so much that one could say that everything about fall, for me, is naturally perfect!   From the wonderful perfect smells that fill the air, such as apples that are fresh and ready to harvest, to the colors changing all around. 

The opportunities for pictures are endless during the fall season.  Some of my favorite activities are taking my family out to the local pumpkin patches, playing in the fallen leaves, or the picture perfect colors of the mountains as they make their change to cooler weather.  These shared moments make the perfect photo opportunities. 

 

Design note: 

I covered my acrylic letters with glitter. I used buttons of different format to do a frame around my picture.

Journaling: Just another happy day in our life, just another smile on your face, just another reason to love you... November 2007

 

 

Design note: 

I am a huge fan of warm, earthy tones and loved how these papers worked together.  I hand-cut the flowers and vine from patterned paper and grouped them along the right side of my photo.  Because of the amount of white space, I was faced with a dilemma about where to place my journaling.  I decided to write all along the border of the page.

Dear Daughter by Stacy Michaud, Supplies: Paper: Scenic Route, We R Memory Keepers, Cardstock: Bazzill,  Stickers: Basic Grey, Chipboard: K & Company, Buttons: Autumn Leaves.

Journaling: Dear daughter, so don't you look all sweet and innocent here, doe-eyed & serene. Except you were all fired up and refusing to sit on my lap during the hay ride to the pumpkin patch. I asked, "Please sit." You replied, "No Mommy. I don't want to." with that tone and famous eye roll. You wiggled, kicked, and complained until you were off the seat and on the floor. Then you looked at me with this face. Yep, we battle, you & me. I am afraid to see you at age thirteen. We will rumble. Just remember, you won this battle, but dear Ella, I will win the war!

 

Design note:  Chalk the edges of all the patterned paper and cardstock to make it more dimensional on the page. Place rub-ons directly onto pictures.

Simple Joy by Karen Shand Supplies: Paper: Scrappin’ Sports & More, Prism, Cardstock stickers: Scrappin’ Sports and More, Ribbon: American Crafts, Rub-ons: Making Memories, Chipboard: Heidi Swapp, Other: Acrylic Leaves.

Journaling: October 2000 Ages 4&2
