October 2009 Layout Sketch
Click image to enlarge
Designer: Lisa Truesdell
This simple sketch is one of my favorite go to designs. A beautifully punched frame contains the photos and journaling, and simple punched embellishments can be switched out to match any theme. I used warm autumn colors and punched leaves to accent this layout about my favorite part of fall.

1. Cut a scrap piece of cardstock to 8.75x8.75in and attach to the middle of your white cardstock with temporary adhesive. Use yellow spray ink around the edges of the layout. 2. Trim red floral patterned paper to 10in x10in. Punch the sides and corners with the Lattice and Lace corner punch. 3. Using the fingertip craft knife and a straight edge, cut out the center of the red floral patterned paper and create a frame. 4. Attach the red patterned paper frame to the center of your white cardstock. 5. Add 2 4x6 photos to the top half of the page. 6. Use the Scallop Sentiment border punch on a strip of text paper. Attach to the bottom of your frame opening. 7. Use letter stickers to spell out the title. Stitch through the stickers. 8. Punch a leaf from the woodgrain cardstock using the Sweet Maple Squeeze Punch and add to the middle of the title using foam adhesive.
