SIMPLE VINTAGE COUNTRY HARVEST Inspiration - Simple Stories

 

Hello Friends!

Nathalie with you today with a bit of  inspiration featuring the new and gorgeous  SIMPLE VINTAGE COUNTRY HARVEST collection.   I cannot get over how beautiful this collection is.  I love Fall, and this collection is just perfect to document all those glorious memories.  I just love how easy it was to put the pages together,  I have two layouts for you  today...

My first page was all inspired on the chipboard frames of the collection ( they are always my favorite piece of the kits).   Once I backed the  frame with my photo, the rest of the page came together pretty quickly.

I trimmed the 4x4 element page to 10.5x10.5 inches, and messily hand stitch it to the SIMPLE VINTAGE Stone/Pearl paper.    Once, I set the frame on the center of the page, it was all about embellishing the page.

I used pieces from the SIMPLE PAGES KIT - AUTUMN HARVEST to create a cascade of leaves on the page, as well as add some interest behind the frame.   Then,  I used one of the new Chipboard clusters ( that matched the detail in the frame) to add more interest and dimension to the page.  

I continue adding a few more leaves so that they continue cascading down the page.   I added a simple sticker at the  bottom of the page as a title.  Then added a few more details to the page.

I love how this came together so easily and with lovely results.   Now, let me show you the other project I created for you today.

For my second page, I am using one of the Simple Pages kit -AUTUM HARVEST as the base for my layout.  All I had to do was trim a strip from the JUST THANKFUL paper and stitch it on top of the page for the base of my page.

Once again, I reached for one of the chipboard frames, but this time I  am using it as a layer behind my picture.  Along with a few pieces from the SIMPLE CARDS CARD KIT- HARVEST WISHES.  

I added more pieces behind the frame so that they emphasize the details in the frame.  There are so many embellishments to chose from it was easy to create clusters.

For the title, I am repeating some of the elements behind the photo in a small  cluster at the bottom right corner of the page.  This balances the page nicely.  I tied the page together by adding butterflies throughout the page.  A few drops of white and gold ink complete the page.   Just love how easy this came together!

I cannot wait to see what you create with the new SIMPLE VINTAGE COUNTRY HARVEST collection.   This gorgeous collection is sure to become a favorite  for all!
