A Story Featuring our “This Right Here” Exclusive Acrylic

Greetings!

On the blog today I am sharing a fall layout featuring the exclusive “this right here” acrylic from our November kits. This gorgeous creamy, sparkling acrylic can be paired with a multitude of cozy season paper collections including Photoplay’s “Autumn Vibes” from last year.

I wanted my layout to be “out of the pocket” in my 2024 story album so that I could highlight and add texture to the tree background paper I chose to hold the title for this spread. I fussy cut the 12x12 “crunch leaves” paper to create layers of trees. I texturized the edges of the trees and used thin foam dots to pop them up in several places to create the illusion of a deep forest. You could also use an xacto knife to cut around the tree tops without going all the way to the edge to create a similar feel.

I decided to create my mini scenes with 2x2 squares on the opposite side rather than use a pocket page so that I could add texture and interest by popping up the tree stickers and photos. It definitely gives this layout a homemade feel which is intentional in my story albums and scrapbooks.

I love making little scenes with 2x2 pockets or a grid of 2x2 or 3x3 squares. There are many items in the shop each month that can be used to create small scenes including wood veneer kits, the monthly sprinkles, and numerous acrylic ephemera shape sets such as leaves, hearts, stars, flowers gingerbread and postage squares just to name a few!
