Fall Banner Layout with PHOTO PLAY PAPER

Hey, everyone! Roree here with another Make It! Monday project. Today I am sharing a layout I created with a paper line from a new company, PHOTO PLAY PAPER.

I got to play with the Autumn Day collection. It is a beautiful collection, full of gorgeous autumn colors and sweet seasonal images. Filled with oranges, golds, browns, reds, and pops of blue, it is perfect for any and all fall-themed projects.

I used the b-side of the plaid patterned paper to create an 8 1/2 x 11″ layout base and added strips from the Multi Stripe and Multi Leaf patterned papers along the top and bottom. I then ran a zig zag stitch between the strips with my sewing machine.

I placed a 4 x 6″ photo of my daughters playing in a big pile of leaves just below the paper strips on top.

I chose the “FALL” banner stickers from the Element Stickers sheet.

Because I wanted the banner stickers to be an element that popped off the page and I didn’t want to worry about the ends accidentally being pressed down and sticking to the page, I added a little baby powder to the backside of each of the stickers and rubbed it all over to remove the stickiness.

I used a hole punch to add a hole at the top of each of the banners.

I then added a foam square to the back of each banner.

I adhered the banners under the my photo.

I tied a bow in a length of twine and threaded one end through the tops of the banners.

I tied a bow at the other end, adjusted the spacing of the twine, then adhered each of the bows to the page with a drop of liquid adhesive.

I added some leaf and heart stickers, also from the Element Stickers sheet, along with some gold mini pearls to dress up the banner.

I finished the layout by adding a sentiment sticker from the Alpha Stickers sheet over the Multi Leaf strip at the top of the layout.

The products are a perfect complement to a sweet autumn memory.

I hope you enjoyed today’s Make It! Monday project. Thanks so much for stopping by! And make sure to visit PHOTO PLAY PAPER to view their equally charming holiday line, Dear Santa.
