Autumn is in the Air

My family and I had such a glorious Thanksgiving Day weekend. My husband had four days off in a row, he has not had that much time off since Spring of 2011, so I was so thankful that he received that much needed down time. Thursday, we had our traditional turkey dinner, with just our little family of four, but we had a great time nonetheless. Friday, we packed (we are moving early next month.) Saturday, the kids and I went to see The Guardians movie, pretty cute. I also spent the morning watching them jump in leaves, they were so adorable and just had so much joy doing something so simple. Sunday, I went to Archiver's for a few hours, did some browsing, and completed most of the scrapbook layout that I am sharing today. One of the coolest things that happened this weekend, however was, that my husband gave me my Christmas present early:  A new camera. Gone are the days of my using only my I-Phone 4s for photographs, I now have a Canon Rebel and I adore it. I have only played with it a couple of hours, but have already got some good shots of closeups, inside happenings, as well as some great Autumn shots. My husband is the greatest-that is all I'm sayin'.

Without further ado:



And a close up of some of my embellishing:


Supplies Used:
  • Studio Calico November Kit-Sock Hop (main kit,) 
  • Silhouette Cameo cuts "A Favorite Photo" and Leaves, sorry I don't have the exact names for you, someone gave them to me.
  • October Afternoon Midway Carousel (side B)
  • Crate Paper Acorn Avenue 6 x 6 Paper Pad
  • Crate Paper Acorn Avenue wood veneer shapes
  • Crate Paper Acorn Avenue cardstock sticker phrases
  • Crate Paper Acorn Avenue tape stickers 
  • Orange Camera paperclip (received from a friend)
  • Studio Calico Classic Calico v. 3 die cut frames
What about you? Have you been creating anything lately? What are you doing to celebrate fall? Is there anything more reminiscent of childhood and autumn than jumping in leaves? How was your weekend? Any crazy Black Friday Deals? Let's Dish.

Happy Monday!
