Autumn in the air

WoW its been awhile since I've done a layout...so I thought I would tackle a couple challenge in one swoop...I hope no body minds...I check out the rules and none seemed against it!
So I used the sketch from C'est Magnifique kits....and combined the criteria from Southern girls challenge which "was words on your project" I figured the title and the background paper cover that pretty good and the criteria fro Scrap Africa which is "list it" I did list the top 12 thing I miss about living in Maine (it can be found in the envelop on my layout)

I decided on a fall theme because that was one of the things on my list...I miss the fall colors in Maine here we don't have those bright vivid colors...I used some beautiful papers from Maja Design I had gotten from
C'est Magnifique kits.

 the picture were sent by my best friend she knows how much I miss the colors so she sends me knew ones every fall!

My List:
1.Fall Colors (they just aren't quite as bright here)
2.The sun (seems to shine more in Maine)
3. Trick or treaters (we have had two in the last five years LOL) 
4.Decorations (everyone in our old neighborhood used to decorate for all the holidays)
5.Our old house
6.My bestest friend
7.Family Most of our family lives in the New England area)
8.Our old yard
9.Ginny's Flowers
10.The boys( my nephews)
12. Chinese Food (its just not the same here..they even call things by a different name)
