I LOVE this time of year! It has been beautiful thus far and I have been enjoying each minute of it, large and small, except for perhaps my tangle with my husband's truck and the 4-wheeler last weekend, but that's beside the point, isn't it? Welcome Autumn and welcome to Papertrey Ink's Monthly Moments: September group post.
For my pages I used the new Monthly Moments: September stamp set and coordinating die and the fun Journal Card Pad...so irresistible.
This page celebrates the fruits of the season and documents what we love about this time of year. Living in the desert, we LIVE for cool, fall days, jacket weather, watching the colors turn, and enjoying the harvest moon rise each evening. I used the new Monthly Moments: Journal Pocket 3 and slipped in a die cut Tag Sale #5 that I stamped with images and phrases from the Monthly Moments: September stamp set.
I pulled out my Friendship Jar: Fillers stamp set to embellish my photos of fresh salsa.
Continuing on with my next page, I documented Sierra's first day at school as a big 6th grader, highlighting her John Deere green boots. She has such a funny personality with quite unique taste. No purple and pink for her...she's never loved those colors. She loves green and camo, peace signs and cheetah print. My mom and I had quite a fun time shopping with her for her back to school clothes. I love watching her personality continue to develop.
Tremendous Tag dies, once again provide the perfect spot for stamping little phrases and sentiments to add detail to my pages.
And, the September digital download cannot be ignored....such cute, cute images and quotes. You'll love it.

I know I've said this before, but I love your style! These pages are sweet. Sierra is the perfect child to scrap...and I've copied so many of your ideas into my own books of my grandkids. Thank you for sharing your pages- and wonderful inspiration!

IF I were a scrapbooker, I'd make mine with some of your techniques and color combinations. Good job.

I'm loving the photo album pages of Sierra and your finished canning products. I love giving my canning creations every year for small Christmas gifts and your jar decorations are so cute.

I adore those pages of simply enjoying canning the fruits of summer, and journalling your daughter's joys. Stunning photos and darling bits of embellished tags!
Hope all was alright with the fender bender, and nothing was hurt but the truck! Still, it shakes up one's peace!
