I created this a few weeks ago, but decided to wait to share it when I heard that the September 

Blog Hop was showcasing Fall Flair.  I had bought these small legal pads in hopes of using them for another project, and was a little dismayed when it didn't work out.  So, I pulled out my Grid Paper and Simply Scored tool,  and set out to find another use for them.  Hence, my French Foliage Folio...

I thought that the perfect compliment to this beautiful set of leaves, was the 

bird and saying from the Language of Friendship stamp set...

Then, to put the perfect finishing touch on it, I used coordinating card stock 

and ribbon on the inside to cover up the binded edge of the paper pad...

Project Ingredients-

Paper- Night of Navy, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, and Very Vanilla card stock

Ink Pads- Night of Navy, Cajun Craze, and More Mustard

Stamp Sets- French Foliage and Language of Friendship

Punches- 2 x 1 3/8" Oval (XL), Bird Builder, and Decorative Label

Additional Tools & Accessories- 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon (More Mustard), Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Snail Adhesive, Sticky Strip, and Stamping Sponges
