Fall is definitely here where I live. The weather is chilly and the trees are turning all the gorgeous colors of Autumn. I love Fall themed scrapbook pages. One of my favorites was made using a fall leaf paper piecing pattern. Each leaf was then stitched using a sewing machine to create a vein down the center. You could also hand stitch the vein or simply draw the stitching line with a brown, fine-tip scrapbook marker.

It now also comes in a VOC compliant version re-opening sale in California. Almost 10 years ago, I selected Un-Du as one of my “New Favorite Products.” Read my newly updated product review for more information and to find out if making it VOC compliant has changed one of my picks as a must-have scrapbook supply.
