Over the last month the weather, despite the somewhat Indian summer we have had, has been getting noticeably colder. The nights and early mornings have been drawing in and will continue to do so almost until Christmas. (What is that I hear you screaming, Not Christmas already!) Any heat that is in the sun, when we get any, will have little effect on the countryside and frost hollows will stay, often, throughout the day. Shadows will stay long throughout the daylight hours and in many places, the fog will refuse to lift. This is undoubtedly Jack Frosts month!

On my layout for the PS Scrapbook Page Challenge, I used mini-matchbook journaling boxes to hold five additional, small photos and matching journaling. These mini-books are both fun and easy to make. They can coordinate with any theme of scrapbook page simply by changing the colors of cardstock used to make them. They can hold photos, journaling, or even small memorabilia. Create larger matchbooks following these same directions and you can use them to make a themed mini-scrapbook. Make tiny matchbooks for holiday gift tags.

Commemorate the holiday and remember the good times year after year with this quick, simple and rewarding scrapping project.

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3! Use scrapbooking techniques to make this one-of-a-kind baby shower gift or child's birthday gift. Approximate Crafting Time: 3-4 hrs. depending on number of pages desired.

Where has all the daylight gone? The evenings have disappeared and despite the mornings starting earlier, to most of us, it seems that the days are now considerably shorter. This perceived jump in the timescale is not a natural phenomenon, rather a man made one achieved by changing our clocks by a single hour! But now is not the time to put the camera away for the winter as many of the more atmospheric type of shots can be achieved so much more easily at this time of the year. days return. This is a time when, without doubt, photographers wanting to take pictures of wildlife will have to study the habits of their chosen prey carefully in order to track them down. There is little point in looking for lizards, for example, when they have all hibernated.
