This beautiful layout from Dana has leaves she cut from subtle pattern paper, added holes and then hand stitched each one to add amazing color and texture. The soft colors of the background and border papers help the photo and leaves really stand out. Learn more at the Datator blog.
Soon the leaves will turn and begin to fall so head outside to take some photos of those colorful trees and piles of leaves. Fall leaves are a wonderful addition to scrapbook layouts this time of year. You can use leaf stamps, dies, chipboard shapes and pattern papers and you can add a few or fill the page. So today let’s take a look at some wonderful layout ideas that feature Autumn Leaves in their designs.

Kat used pre-cut leaves that have foiled “veins” to form a wreath for this pretty page. Part of the round shape is completed with the photo, date and title. There’s also tiny dots and stars to fill in some white space around the wreath. I spotted this idea on the Elle’s Studio Instagram page.
Debbi used stencils with stamping ink pads for the background and beautiful bold leaves and acorns on this Autumn page. She also included a large glittery gold acrylic title and lots of texture with many die cut shapes, staples, gold twine, smaller acrylic shapes and gems. Take a closer look at the Bramble Fox blog.
Wow! This Fall Wreath layout from Stephanie is stunning!! She used a rainbow of Autumn colors of cardstock to die cut lots of leaves, creating the wreath in an ombre of colors. She included some color coordinating butterflies and some small sentiment tucked in too. Visit Stephanie Frisby’s gallery at Scrapbook.com for more info.
This beautiful interactive layout from Gloria has a double window that opens to reveal the photos behind. It’s surrounded by wonderful Fall botanical leaves and flowers in warm shades of brown and orange. There’s also stitching and die cutting for added texture. Learn more at the Spellbinders blog.
Sheena added acorn pattern paper and a scalloped border to half of her Gather Together layout with the photos fanned out in the center and clusters of leaves and the title across the center in a swag. Leaving the other half of the background white adds extra interest, showing that leaving some white space can help add balance. Watch her process video at the Hey Little Magpie blog.
The dark navy background really helps the shiny gold and bronze leaves really pop on this beautiful layout from Jessica! She created her leaves by foiling cardstock and then die cutting them out. She created a cascade of leaves with some pumpkins and sequins in a swoop across the page ending in the photo with torn paper and sentiment strips. She’s sharing a process video on the Therm O Web blog.
Here’s another wonderful wreath layout, this time from Anna. She used printed dies, chipboard shapes colored with art crayons, stickers and pattern paper to design this woodland page. I love the cute animals and all the little fall sentiments tucked all around! I came across her idea on the Mintay Papers Instagram page.
Darling family photos are the focus of the Fall double page layout. Leaf pattern paper with coordinating colors of cardstock create the background on pages that leave room for lots of photos. Find this layout sketch at the Club Scrap blog.
I love the “falling for you” sentiment on this page from Jessica! There’s some great techniques on her design like stenciling the leaf background with crackle paste, adding color to the back layer with Distress Spritz, placing a wooden panel behind the photo and die cutting directly from the background. Find all the details on The Cherry on Top blog.
Anne created a clean and simple Fall double page layout with woodgrain pattern background, brown cardstock photo mats, plaid and leaf pattern paper borders and colorful die cut leaves. Take a closer look at the Stamp with Anne blog.
Sherri added colorful Fall leaves and pumpkins around the edges of her Autumn layout with stamping with colored inks. She also stamped and die cut some leaves and pumpkins to place around her photo and sign. I love all the sweet Autumn sentiments scattered around too! Watch her process video at the Stamped Treasures blog.
I hope you are able to get out and enjoy some Fall leaves and take some amazing photos to scrap!
