Autumn Leaf Paper Crafts

October 12, 2015 by Martha Bonneau

My favorite season is officially here…autumn! Cooler temperatures, sweater weather, pumpkin spice everything, apple picking, and the colors of the changing leaves are just a few of my favorite things about this time of year. Those cooler temperatures are bringing us inside more often and I cannot wait to bring fall colors into our home. While my daughter and I were decorating for Halloween, we might have snuck a few orange and red leaves into the mix knowing they could be left up thoughout the season!

As the weeks progress, we will be adding more brightly-colored leaves to our home and to our crafting projects. Our annual trip to the pumpkin patch will need to be documented along with all of the other fun seasonal activities we have planned. The easiest way to add a touch of fall to your paper crafts is to add a few leaves because nothing says autumn quite like the bright hues of the changing leaves! Adding just a few to your card, layout, or home decor project will instantly give it a cozy feel.

Cards & Scrapbook Pages

Along with autumn comes fall photo opportunities. Between the pumpkin patch, apple picking, and other fall activities, there will be memories created that will need to be scrapbooked! Invitations, DIY birthday cards, and thank you handmade cards can reflect the season as well through the addition of leafy embellishments.

I live with my husband, 7 and 4 year old daughters, and a pug named Pixie in Crystal Lake, Illinois which is in the ‘burbs NW of Chicago.
I started scrapping in 2006 and was quickly addicted!I was an avid scrapper until late summer of 2010 when we started our adoption journey, at that point I was overwhelmed with paperwork (and emotions!) and I had to put something on the back burner in my life but I knew I would eventually come back to it.
We welcomed our daughter home from China in December of 2011 and a few months later I found my groove again and pulled out all of those supplies that had been tucked away.
I started out scrapping again doing traditional layouts, but at the beginning of this year I jumped into Project Life and I love it!
When I’m not scrapping I am usually spending time with our daughters which means library time, going on walks, thrifting (they love it as much as I do!) or watching Kung Fu Panda for the millionth time.I also have an Etsy shop Panda Eight Designs where I sell scrapbooking flair that I design.
