Hello all my crafty friends, so glad you stopped by to visit our Stamp & Scrapbook Expo’s blog.  Welcome to October!  It is so hard to believe we are in October already!  It is such a fun time of the year and so many wonderful things that come with it; fun fall decorating, brisk cool weather, changing of the leaves, Halloween, and all the fun festive crafts we can create.  I have a few fun fall crafts to share with you today, so I hope these creative ideas will get you inspired to create projects of your own.

You & Me By Courtney Sawyer

Courtney Sawyer created this super fun layout using the Autumn Splendor collection from Simple Stories.  How much more fall can you get than with this fabulous collection?  I love how Courtney mixed and matched her pattern papers to back the cut file letters and heart.  What a great way to use up some of your scraps from this collection.

For a complete supply list and to see many other fun designs by Courtney, click here and I will be happy to escort you on over to the Simple Stories blog for a visit.  You will be so very inspired by all of the creative designs you will see, and there are so many different ways to create your own personalized fall layout.  Have fun scrapbooking, my friends!
