Autumn is upon us...

I can hardly believe that this week is the 1st day of Autumn...where has the time gone?  My kiddos are into their 4th week of school and before long football season will be coming to a close and our days of Indian Summer will be gone.

With the beginning of Autumn we think of the foliage and falling leaves, Halloween, Thanksgiving...I've included a few links that I thought might benefit you with your photgraphing of the foliage.

Now that school is well under way before we become overwhelmed with all of those school projects, and memories of 1st's for your children.  Here's a good tip about starting an album to remember it all.

Album Page Prints

I had some free time today & I created these album page prints with the We Hope Album by CMC Cathy Bower.  I thought the sentiment from these pages fit for other than inspiration for graduating seniors...

 This was my take for using the "We Hope" album to preserve the 1st day of school for my aging children (they don't want ANY kid stuff).  They feel they are too old for stuff like that :o)

 

 I adjusted the photo frame size on this one

 

 Then I matched the background color to his shirt, then a few shades lighter...

 

 Did the same here for my daughter's page.  Adjusted the photo frame size.

Then I matched the background color to her dress.  This page is definitely her!


Here are a few more pages from the same digital album, only I used them for my photos from Showcase 2012.

Just a few of many examples of how this album is so versatile.  I am really loving this album remake of the I Hope... to We Hope...

Thank You CMC Cathy Bower for taking the time to alter every album page.
