The inspiration for this layout started with a pumpkin spice latte and a beautiful leaf cut file from Nicole Nowosad this month. Nothing says fall like a good woodgrain paper and some hand stitching.

The stitching was created to look like the letters are dip dyed – plain cream on the top and beautiful fall color on the bottom. The pretty color palette came from the Pink Paislee leaf pattern in the Hip October kit.

The October Hip moldboard inspired the folds I created in the leaves. I think it makes them a bit more interesting and adds a nice pop of texture. Mini staples and some stamping give them a handmade touch.

The Hip Kit October Main, Add-On and Project Life kits were perfect for capturing these fall memories!
