After taking out all of the fall decorations last weekend I decided that our family photos just weren't going to cut it with their spring-like hues. Sorry family, but I just can't take seeing the pinks and teals with my orange pumpkins.
See what I mean? Great photos, but they were messing with my fall theme, which is probably an indication that I need to take some new family photos about now.
At any rate, I decided to replace the family -- temporarily, of course -- with fall leaves.
I picked a few leaves from around the yard and pressed them flat for a day between two heavy books. For the background, I used a piece of sheet music from an old hymnal for one and a piece of burlap for the other.
Don't make the same mistake I did and use glue for this project. It worked well, but the leaves turned brown by the next morning. The second time around I used splits (small pieces of double sided tape for scrap booking) instead.
I love the way they turned out and my bookshelves look much more harmonious.
