Autumn Memories in Pockets

Hello there! The Elle’s Studio October 2019 kit and add-ons revealed earlier this month, and in addition to a spooktacular layout that I created, I also made an autumnal pocket page spread to record a beautiful and fun girl’s weekend among friends. Take a look!

How perfect are these photos with this kit, right? I could not be happier with the way the spread turned out. Here’s a look at the closer details:

I created my title tag in a clever way with three different layers. First, I started with the Home Sweet Home paper stack yellow pattern, cut to 4” x 6” to form the base of the pocket card. Next, I layered the leaf and acorn journaling tag from the October 2019 kit on top, to hold the story of the weekend. At the base of that, I added a jewel-toned die-cut label that I added my journaling to using the Jane alphabet stickers in navy and my favorite typewriter alphabet stamp, Hazel. I finished off the pocket by adding a cute acorn from the wood veneer leaves set, as well as leaves and hearts from the autumn puffy stickers.

Next to my title tag, I added one of my favorite tags from the October 2019 kit, the “gather” circle tag. I used this tag to add my date, using the Mini Dated stamp, as well as the dots below from the new, versatile Everyday Tabs stamp.

I love it when product matches my photos perfectly! The “autumn tradition” die cut from the October 2019 kit and the “at the pumpkin patch” autumn puffy sticker layered on top of the jewel-toned die-cut label on the negative space in my photo to point toward my daughter picking her pumpkin in this photo. I love these small details added to photos!

On the second page, this is my favorite pocket! I started with the striped, colorful pattern from the Home Sweet Home paper stack, layering the “thankful” tag from the October 2019 kit on top using dimensional adhesive, which I cut to appear longer, and topped with my favorite square photo of my friends and I. I added the “good company” autumn puffy sticker—again, the perfect sentiment for this photo!—to the base. It’s a simple, but clever way to build this pocket.

I love the sentiments of gratitude found in the October 2019 kit and add-ons, and sometimes a favorite photo just needs a reminder of gratitude added to it. The negative space in the blue sky was the perfect place to add the “grateful for this” autumn puffy sticker to one of my favorite photos in this spread.

I typically add more journaling on the B side of the spread, and this 4” x 6” tag from the October 2019 kit worked perfectly. To the left of the journaling, I added a photo of my friend and goddaughter using dimensional adhesive, and topped it with the blue “smile” die cut from the kit. Tucked underneath the photo, I added wood veneer leaves set and autumn puffy sticker leaves and a row of navy blue hearts. I just love this pocket!
