New release today from By Becca and a *freebie*!

By Becca is releasing Walk in Splendor today at 9th & Bloom. The kit description, written by our wonderfully talented CT member, Jenn, is art in of itself:
“A gust of wind blows by, swirling copper, scarlet, russet and gold into a dizzying dance of blazing color. Nearby, a bonfire burns, leaves crackling, while the laughter of children rings out in the crisp afternoon air. Autumn is here in all of her glory – the crowning of the year, when pale spring yellows and summer greens give way to the rich jewel tones of fall. It is a time for hayrides, apple picking, bright days and cold nights. A time to gather with family and friends. A time to marvel at the beauty – and the bounty – of nature. Walk in Splendor will help you capture these treasured memories forever.“

This is a seriously beautiful kit! I scrapped two layouts with it and I know I'll be reaching for it again and again. In addition the elements, papers, and alpha, Becca is also offering an add-on set of clusters and word art. You can find the clusters in her shop or you can purchase the kit and clusters together as a bundle.

My Layouts

"Contemplating Autumn"
Dominic is my child of contrasts. One minute he is exuberant and wild… the next he is quiet and contemplative. I took this photo of him near the duck pond by our house last month and he really seemed lost in thought.

Journaling reads:

I wonder what you are
thinking when I see this
look cross your face...

I wonder if you realize
how much I love you.

As autumn approaches,
I count my blessings...
and you are at the
top of my list.

"Fall Nostalgia"

My oldest daughter, Jenny, moved 4 hours away to attend college. I am really missing her. I took this photo of her earlier this summer.

Journaling reads:
You’ve been away at college for five weeks now.
As we settle into the school time routine and a hush
descends on the house, I miss you more and more each
day. This time of year makes me nostalgic for family
traditions and anticipate the upcoming holidays. I hope
you can feel my love for you across the miles and know that
I am always here for you. I love you, Angel.

And as a special taste to show you how gorgeous this kit is, I have made a cluster frame for you use *free*!!! This png file is sized 12x8 at 300 ppi, and is pre-shadowed so it is easy for you to add a photo and paper and you are ready to print! You can download the freebie here:
