There’s just something magical about scrapbooking in autumn. Even if you’re nowhere near crunchy leaves and pumpkin patches, the colours, textures, and cosy vibes of fall somehow sneak their way into our craft rooms. I always find myself reaching for warm tones, kraft cardstock, textured papers, and anything that feels a little earthy and nostalgic.
To celebrate all those beautiful autumn stories waiting to be told, I’ve created a brand new set of 10 Fall Leaves scrapbook layout templates. These are single-page designs, perfect for 1–2 photos, and each one features a mix of realistic leaves, whimsical doodle leaves, bold graphic shapes, pumpkins, acorns, and autumn clusters. It’s a lovely blend of styles so scrapbookers can pick the look that fits their story best.
These layouts work beautifully for:
• fall family photos
• pumpkin patch visits
• leaf-raking (or leaf-jumping!) moments
• harvest festivals
• Thanksgiving pages
• cosy indoor snapshots
• scenic autumn walks
• pets in leaves (always adorable)
• autumn crafting sessions
• back-to-school or early school-year memories
Here’s a closer look at the 10 layouts included:
––––––––––––––––––––––
Layout 1 – Layered Circles + Leaf Cluster
A warm, balanced layout with bold shapes and a leafy bundle at the base.
Layout 2 – Tall Photo With Leaf Spray & Acorns
Natural, slightly rustic — perfect for outdoor snapshots.
Layout 3 – Side-by-Side Photos with Graphic Leaves
A clean, modern take on autumn storytelling.
Layout 4 – Vertical Rainbow Arc + Pile of Leaves
A fun mash-up of geometric and organic elements.
Layout 5 – Pumpkin Accent + Soft Doodle Leaves
Ideal for pumpkin patch or Halloween-adjacent photos without being “Halloween themed.”
Layout 6 – Classic Leaf Borders + Title Ribbon
A timeless and flexible autumn page that works with any colour scheme.
Layout 7 – Big Bundle of Leaves + Journaling Strip
Perfect when you have a longer story to tell — fall always brings those reflective moments.
Layout 8 – Acorns + Layered Arches
Cosy, earthy, and great for quiet or sentimental layouts.
Layout 9 – Pumpkin + Falling Leaves Cluster
A sweet, slightly whimsical option with lots of visual movement.
Layout 10 – Graphic Leaf Corners + Clean Centre Photo
Simple, modern, and very adaptable — it’s a great “go-to” autumn sketch.

How to Use These Fall Leaves Sketch Templates
Autumn pages have a nostalgia to them that just feels good to scrapbook. These cosy leaf-focused sketches are designed to help you capture that warmth and make your photos shine — even if your “fall” looks more like a warm afternoon with iced coffee and air conditioning (hello from Australia).
