Let’s Go Somewhere Fun

Wood Print And Mixed Plaid

Hi friends! This week I bring you a warm and woodsy layout featuring some photos of my husband and me. We were driving home from Yosemite on highway 395 the in the fall. One hill was covered in brilliant yellow trees and my husband wanted to find a way to drive up to them to take some photos. After a few false starts and aimless driving, we found a road up to the hill where there was a river and lots of brilliant yellow foliage.My husband got some great photos as well as these selfie shots.

I started with a piece of tree stump print paper from Paper Studio’s Dendrology stack. Since the paper in this collection is so thin, I matted it with some olive green cardstock from DCWV’s Neutrals stack. I used the same paper as a mat for my photos. Two inch squares of green tartan plaid from Recollections Regent Street stack and yellow-orange gingham plaid from DCWV’s Country Manor stack were arranged in an alternating pattern. I used some slightly transparent Soukou Leaf stickers and held them in place with Bo Bunny Emerald brads. Simple Stories Bits and Pieces made for the perfect forest-themed embellishments. I finished with some enamel dots by Echo Park. Does anyone else have a favorite embellishment that makes it way onto almost every page? I feel like my pages aren’t complete unless I scatter enamel dots all over everything!

This page was created for the Use Your Stuff March challenge which was all about the plaid!

Use Your Stuff has collaborated this month with Double Trouble Challenge blog. I had not discovered their blog previously and I love their reference to Thing 1 and Thing 2! Their duel challenge for the month is using both plaid and the color green.

Lastly, this page was created using a layout from the Lasting Memories March challenge. I changed it from a winter layout to more of a fall/forest vibe. Instead of a snowman, I used an embellishment with ferns and mushrooms and instead of star print paper, I used plaid.

That’s all for this installment. Stay safe and I’ll see you next time!
