Fall is upon us and I, for one, love the season. However, I live in a suburb of Phoenix, AZ, the Valley of the Sun—and altho' I love it most of the year, I don’t really get to experience the cool, crisp days and beautiful fall foliage that I used to enjoy when I lived in New York State. Although there is cooler weather and some fall color in the higher regions of Arizona, there’s nothing that really hits the autumnal spot for me here. The beautiful fall photos that I occasionally have the opportunity to snap while on vacation have provided the inspiration for this challenge toUse Leaves On Your Page!
For the next 2 weeks you have an opportunity to play along and earn points. For each point you earn, your name goes in the drawing to win a terrific ChristmasPrize package from Melisa (PaperliciousDesigns). Your points will be added to “the hat” already containing points earned by those scrappers who participated in Melisa’s challenge during the last 2 weeks. The winner will be selected randomly on October 17th and announced on the 18th. Are you ready??
As I mentioned, for this challenge, I’d like you to use leaves (other than those in your photos—no points for the pics themselves)on your page. I’ve chosen to make this more of a fall challenge, but if you want to pick a different season to use leaves, feel free to do so. Digi scrappers are also welcome to play!
Here’s my sample. I’ve also added some pages I did a while back that may give you some ideas:
2 extra points for each type of leaf you use (Example: if you used leaf stamps, leaf rub-ons and paper with leaf design: 2 pts. for stamp leaves; 2 pts. for rub-ons; 2 pts. for paper = Total of 6 pts.)
Some ideas for using leaves:
- stamped you could jazz up stamped leaves using: - watercolor or chalk on punched or stamped cut-out leaves - bleached stamped leaves (Video: (http://stamptv.ning.com/video/bleached-leaves) - add glitter or other powder to punched or stamped leaves - stickers - die-cuts - rub ons - use leaf punches - hand drawn - paper with leaf designs - digital elements printed to paper
More points: (these points count only once each.Example: if you use 5 chipboard pieces, add 2 pts. total only)
3 pts: Use a quote (I’ve attached below a list of quotes about fall, but you can use any quote you’d like that works for your page). 2 pts: Use chipboard. 2 pts: Use chalk or ink on edges of photos, embellies, journaling spots. 1 pt: Use brads, clips or other metal fastener on your page. ----- 4 pts: Get a new person, someone who hasn't played in the last 3 inspiration challenges, to play along. (4 pts. for each new person you get.)
2 pts: Combine this challenge with one or more other Scrapbook Challenges here at SCS. (2 pts. for each extra challenge you incorporate.)
2 pts: Advertise our challenge and that it is a 4-week contest with a prize package. Add a link connecting them to this page. (Ideas for ways to advertise: blog, other scrapping sites, add this info in the comments section under your photo in the gallery, etc.)

Finally got mine done...took a while to search thru my digi files for the right embellishments. I couldn't find any appropriate chipboard pieces. I thought I had letters but every time I tried to open them, they shut down Photoshop so I ended up deleting the files. This one was a challenge to make in itself with using the RGB codes to create the papers so I could use the SBVC135 challenge and I had to play around with the pattern stamp tool to get the leaves to come out right.
2 pts - stamped leaves for BG
2 pts - leaves on metal tag
2 pts - digital leaves
2 pts - leaf brad
3 pts - quote
2 pts - inked edges (you can take this away if it doesn't count since it was the BG..I hadn't read the whole line thoroughly until after it was done)
2 pts - ThurFS0902 challenge
2 pts - SBVC135 Challenge
2 pts - advertised in description (and I've been trying to get others to play)
1 pt - 3 brads

Great pages Patti! Way to go Cheryl..your page is great too! I hope you keep coming back to do the challenges...might as well since you're doing a page a day!
Patti, I'm not surprised to see so many fall pages from you, nor am I at all surprised that they're all wonderful. I love your choice of papers, colors and embellies. I'm so glad you liked this challenge!
Cheryl, your pages are fabulous. You really know how to match up colors and your placement of the photos is great!
This is my first time doing an inspiration challenge so hopefully I have done it right. Thanks so much for the inspiration!! It was great fun finding all the leaves in my stash and playing with what went together. I have finished 1 page with leaves, it has a pair but its not complete (yet) :-)

Yippee! It's nice to see you've done your first Inspiration Challenge and you've done it perfectly! Your page is really pretty and I like the sketch layout you decided on. Thanks for playing. Hope you'll come back for more. I'll be sure your name gets into the "hat" 13 times!!!
Thanks ladies, I had heaps of fun!! Thanks so much for the comments, its lovely!!! I will definitely be playing along, I really enjoyed the inspiration and look forward to the next one.
Wow, Patti, you've really "played" this challenge!!! Another great fall page! Thanks for participating. Can't wait to count up how many times your name will be in the "hat"!!
Finished of my pair for the earlier page and am delighted with them! I was quite pleased to find a quote in my mixed bag of vellum bits that was perfect.
