Croptoberfest always paints a pretty scrapbooking scene year after year. Awesome, autumn-themed projects. Tools just waiting to join your craft room. Virtual, in-person and hybrid events everywhere you look. And so much more! Blog contributor Sachiyo Omitsu took elements of the Croptoberfest 2022 products and put her own artistic twist to paint a fresh perspective! See for yourself with this paintbrush scrapbook layout that is a brushstroke of genius!

Autumn layout with three paintbrush photo placeholders, a leaves border and embellishments.

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Cut a piece of light blue dashes accessory paper to measure 11-3/4″ x 11-3/4″ and add to a piece of Navy Solid Cardstock. Use this as the base of this layout.

Step 2: Cut a piece of White Shimmer Solid Cardstock to measure 5″ x 11-1/4″. Use the 12-inch Trimmer and the Scoring Blade to score the piece at 1/4″ increments as shown. Cut it into three 5″ x 3-3/4″ segments.

Step 3: Use the 12-inch Trimmer and the Victorian Blade to cut a 1″ strip from Crimson, Goldenrod and Dark Green Solid Cardstocks. Adhere the strips on the 5″ x 3-3/4″ segments as shown.

Step 4: Cut a piece of the tree rings paper to measure 1″ x 3″. Use the 3-in-1 Bevel Tag Punch to punch the edge.

Step 5: Cut a piece of the tree rings paper to 2-1/2″ width. Use the 3-in-1 Bevel Tag Punch to punch the edge. Trim off the tag hole section and cut the piece to 1/2″ height as shown. Repeat and make three pieces in total.

Step 6: Cut three 1″ x 3-3/4″ pieces from Platinum Shimmer Solid Cardstock.

Step 7: Assemble your “paintbrush” as shown. Draw dots on the platinum pieces with the Black Dual-tip Pen. Adhere the paintbrushes to the page.

Step 8: Use the Autumn Leaves Border Punch to punch a border from Navy, Crimson, Dark Green and Goldenrod Solid Cardstocks. Cut out crimson, dark green and goldenrod leaves with the scissors and add to the navy border. Add the border to your page.

Step 9: Adhere stickers and embellishments, using Foam Squares on some for added dimension.
