Dallas Arboretum Sep2019 Layout

I haven't scrapbooked for the last two and a half years. I've missed it, but somewhere along the way, I lost steam. Card making was quicker and easier, and it let me still craft while being a caregiver. I've wanted to get back to scrapbooking for a long time, but I just couldn't seem to get going. This morning, I decided that today would be a scrapbook morning no matter what, and no excuses. I had photos that I had already chosen possible papers for making a layout. They have been waiting a very long time. I'm not even sure how long. That seemed the simplest thing to start with, since I'd already chosen papers. I've always been a slow scrapbooker, but this layout came together quickly. I got it done in only about a couple of hours (for me, that is warp speed).

I think the papers are from an older BoBunny collection. I used Queen & Co. dies to make the banner, pumpkins, and leaves. Simple. Quick (for me). And it felt so good to scrapbook and actually get a layout made from start to finish. I know it isn't trendy by today's scrapbooking standards, but it's my style, and I'm happy with the layout, so no one else's opinion matters.

Simple Card with Queen Co. Dies and Little Yellow Bicycle Vintage Summer

Little Yellow Bicycle was one of my favorite paper companies. I was very sad when they went out of business. I used their Vintage Summer papers and some Foundation dies from Queen & Co. for this simple card. I needed to make multiple cards, and this was an easy one.
