Harvesting Forever | Scrapbook Layout

Some stories are simply unforgettable, and this one will forever warm my heart. When my youngest daughter Alyssa was surprised with a proposal at the pumpkin patch, I knew it deserved a layout that would capture both the season and the joy of that moment.

The HEART:

As the pumpkins return to the patch this year, I found myself looking back at photos from 2023 when Tyler proposed to Alyssa. Even though it’s been two years, the joy on their faces still feels fresh and worth documenting. Fall has always carried the feeling of change, and capturing this moment on a layout seemed like the perfect way to honor both the season and their promise of forever.

The INGREDIENTS:

For this design, I worked with Stampin’ Up!’s Gathering Together DSP to ground the layout in warm autumn tones. I paired it with the irregular weave 3/8″ trim and streaked dots for texture and subtle depth. These touches gave the layout a cozy feel, perfect for highlighting such a life-changing day.
