Now for my contribution to the hop.. I have found this 9 picture template that is perfect for showing many aspects of fall.  I enjoyed it so much that I have used it for both pages of my 2 page layout.  First I did pictures of my two girls when they were smaller playing in the leaves.  I mean what is fall with out a huge leaf pile, right?  The title Having a Ball is a quote printed on vellum and I went from behind to color the letters with colored pencils and I inked the edges.  At the bottom I used wire leaves with autumn colored beads.  The center row picture to the left is our black cat in case you can't make out what that black blob is..LOL

The next 9 photo layout is just things that I see during the fall season that I enjoy.  I was blessed to have a mother who loved all things nature!  So I hope you are not creeped out by my spider here but the gsons and I love to find all of God's critters! What would fall be without awesome colors in the trees, corn turning brown in the fields, goldenrod, lots of goldenrod, my mailbox, that doesn't look anything like that now!!   LOL  and clouds!  Oh my the beauty that God shows through the clouds if we only look up!   And of course, once again, my girls!!  Katie Rose and Annie Leigh!

With all of the images I felt minimal decorations so I matted each picture and then just put the four leaf brads in the center.  I hope you enjoyed my layouts as much as I have..Fall is just a beautiful season..there is no getting around that! :)
