Fall into summer

Hello! 
Today I'm taking a much needed scrapbooking break! I finished this LO which I started a few days ago. We don't get much of the fall colors here in southern California. I really enjoy looking at pictures from people who live in places where the trees turn bright yellow, red and orange in the fall. 
A few years ago, we went for a walk at the park with Zoe who was our only dog back then. It was a beautiful fall day and Zoe had a lot of fun running around on the leaves. 
I got the leaves on my layout from a flower shop! Yes a flower shop! I thought I would probably never use them. But they were great for this LO! I took the picture before I did the journaling, but I noticed that the journaling really adds a little something! 
I've been wanting to do this LO for a long time but what really got me going this time, were the rub-ons my friend sent me and that beautiful Amber Autumn Value Pack stack. I love it, I use it for all kinds of projects. 
It's been so great to work on a fall project during a hot summer day, cools you down a bit :) 

It's been so hot here the past few days. How's the weather in your piece of the world?

*edit*

I made a companion page, using the same supplies. I entered this one in the DCWV stack-a-holic challenge :)

I'm so excited about this blog hop! I've loved Faber-Castel products for a long time and it was so much fun to combine them with my favorite DCWV textures. There’s some great prizes too- Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV will be giving away $75 in product at the end of the hop.  To win, follow the list below and leave a comment .  The hop will end at 5PM EST on Friday, March 28 th .  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 31 st on each of the company’s blogs.    I really wanted a special page for these pictures. They give me a very HAPPY feeling  and I love the sun rays coming through the trees. I wanted to mimic that in the background paper. I thought the woven craft cardstock was a great background because its a little less stark than white for these pictures.   I wanted the journaling to be more private so I made it a pull tab behind this cut out tag from the Bohemian Sunrise stack.    To make the background I used a DCW

Welcome to Day 2 of the DCWV and Clear Scraps blog hop! You should have come from Britt's blog: http://pinkpapercrowns.blogspot.com Thanks for making it this far!  On to the project... I might have a LO or 2 about Christmas....Why? I just never get around to making more of them! The Holidays are usually too crazy and then I get into doing LOs of just ever day stuff or travel pics... and the holidays just get forgotten.  This year, I'm ready! I'll have the album pre-made, I just have to stick on the pictures and add some journaling! I used this 8x8 tabbed acrylic album from Clearscraps to create a Christmas mini that is ready to go.  The papers are Christmas Memories with a little bit of the Christmas and winter Diecut stack, the Christmas basics 6x6 & the Burlap stack. I love clear albums because I like to see the layers through the clear pages.    I folded the 12x12 papers in half and cut them to create pockets for journaling a
