Photo Focus: Fallin’ for Nature

Happy Fall! It’s Audrey (adrianita) here for the October Photo Challenge. This is my favorite time to be outdoors and experience nature when blessed to be in an area that experiences all the glory of autumn. The colors, smells and textures of fall are just incredible. The “challenge” is to see nature reflected onto the page – with realistic natural embellishments and of course fall or nature-themed photos. The shop is full of hidden gems featuring twigs, leaves, branches, pinecones, wood pieces and words, pumpkins, flowers, spice cloves, and more. We’ve included a few in the FREEBIE PACK as well! Choose one or more photos on an autumn or nature theme and include at least one nature element on your page. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!  Here are a few examples from the Creative Team for inspiration.

Guest Creative Team Member Lori Ann (lmaggs) created this incredible fall page featuring nature in multiple ways in the photo and the perfectly placed clusters of outdoor elements – even to the background paper layer! Very well done, Lori Ann!
