Designer: Katrina Simeck

I live in New England, which means that I always have tons of fall photos to scrapbook. I created this one page layout to celebrate one of my favorite autumn hues – ORANGE! Using a leaf border punch allowed me to add a seasonal detail without overwhelming the page. This sketch can easily be adapted for any occasion.
