If you maintain a physical planner, junk journal, scrapbook, or art journal, you might want to decorate your September calendar pages, journal pages or scrapbooking layouts with seasonal stamped images or embellishments. I invite you to check out the following pages for ideas:

September Scrapbooking and Journaling Ideas
You’ll miss out on seeing some of the world’s most inspiring scenery if you sit at home on your couch during the month of September. This is the time of year when the trees are showing off their most splendid color schemes. If you have a park or a hiking trail nearby, you can feast your eyes as you go for a stroll. You’ll want to grab a friend and your phone or camera and take photos of the all the beauty that you encounter along the way.
Then you’ll want to document your memories in a scrapbooking layout or mini album.
If any of these fall scrapbooking projects look interesting to you, you can click the photos to find more information about each one. If those ideas aren’t quite what you had in mind, you can check out this page of scrapbooking ideas to find a wider variety of projects.
September Art Projects
If mixed media art is your jam, why not make an abstract collage featuring fall colors? Pictured here is one possible idea you could use for inspiration, but there are zillions of possibilities beyond this one.
September Crochet Projects
Pictured above, you can see work-in-progress shots of the fingerless gloves I was crocheting last September.
I was enthralled by the design and was planning to release a pattern for it, but I got derailed with that due to assorted problems like catastrophic computer failure, resulting loss of paying work and then having to move house. Sorry to say that the pattern is not available, but I invite you to have a look at the fingerless glove patterns I’ve already released.
