Hey crafty girls! It's time to share Jodi Berg's beautiful new fall scrapbook project using one of my clear acrylic albums and a wonderful Carta Bella collection. It's titled "Grateful For Autumn" and the simple, step-by-step instructions for it are now in my shop. It has rich warm colors, leaves, plaids, and lots of great details!

Jodi used Carta Bella's Here Comes Autumn Collection that has a darker and moodier aesthetic mixed with pops of cream and gold. It's gorgeous and has images of pumpkins, acorns, cozy sweaters, baked goods, and flowers. Perfect for the fall season!
She also used my clear 4.25" x 7.5" Acrylic Horizontal Album but turned it vertically for a new look. It has 12 white cardstock pages that include 2 pockets, 3 fold-out pages, and pre-punched binding holes. The album also comes with 4 plastic (4x6) page protectors, 4 (3x4) page protectors, and 2 binding rings.

On the clear cover, Jodi created her own cute embellishment with a round ephemera die cut. She punched a 3" scalloped circle and a 3" circle, then layered the plaid banner piece in between. She said ... "The Sticker Book has a great selection of extra icons and borders, including the banner in the title."

Behind the clear acrylic on the first page, she stitched the pretty leaf pattern onto cardstock and added the "Harvest of Memories" die cut at the bottom. Then she said "I inked all the edges of the album with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo to give it a rustic fall feeling." It looks beautiful, Jodi!

On this page, she made a fabulous pocket with a shaker element on the front. She did a bit of machine stitching on the edges, then tucked a tag inside with a gingham ribbon. Great for photos or journaling!

Jodi said, "I had so much fun creating the shaker pocket to hold the tag. The metallic sequins from my stash were the perfect bits to go with the colors of the Here Comes Autumn Collection.

The deep, saturated colors on this page are gorgeous! Jodi layered some different papers and machine stitched them at the top and bottom. The blue "Leaves are fallin" is a 4x6 card. She created a photo mat, then embellished with pumpkin and leaf stickers and cute enamel dots. Love it!

This pretty DIY project makes a perfect fall keepsake for fun everyday moments, Thanksgiving, baking, an autumn vacation, family gatherings, the changing leaves, a winery, a fall festival, apple picking, football games, or a beautiful hike through nature. It also makes a thoughtful hostess gift.

Jodi created a wonderful fall album and my simple, step-by-step instructions for it will take the stress out of not knowing what to do, where to start, and ... the dreaded analysis paralysis, lol! No need to overthink it. My instructions come with a complete materials list, measurements, and easy to follow directions. So, ANYONE can recreate this special keepsake!
And, if you don't sew or do not own a sewing machine ... no worries! You can skip that altogether and simply use adhesive where needed.

No page went without Jodi's special attention to detail. Check out the back side of this album! Jodi said ... "When I was finishing up the album, I noticed I had a lot of small scraps. Instead of throwing them away, I cut them into 1"x1" squares, inked the edges, and arranged them in rows on the page. I used the zig zag stitch on my sewing machine and covered the seams. I just love the look. It reminds me of a cozy quilt."
I hope you love Jodi's latest project titled Grateful for Autumn! It's a wonderful size for your favorite fall photos and it also makes a thoughtful gift idea. It's perfect for a birthday, thank you, teacher, or a Thanksgiving hostess gift.
