Halloween Layout

This is a double layout I made of my pictures from Halloween 1985. I was two months shy of my 4th birthday and my brother is 6 months old. The patterned background cardstock is from K&Company. The black cardstock was punched with a Martha Stewart border and corner punch. I double matted all the photos. The bats and spider were cut from Paper Doll Dress Up. The bats are coverd with glossy accents and the spider is flocked with google eyes and purple Stickles for the mouth. The fence is from Pooh and Friends, I ran it through my Cuttlebug, using the Distress Stripes embossing folder and some tea dye Distress Ink. The cat is cut from Everyday Paper Dolls, with some black pearls for the nose and eyes. The pumpkin is cut from Designer's Calendar, and I used it for my journaling space. "Happy Halloween" is cut from Lyrical Letters and I covered it with orange peel Stickles. I used pop-dots to adhere the cat, spider and bats.

I made this for the following challenges:

  4. Great LO. Congrats on scrapping pictures from 1985. It shows it's never too late to get those pictures scrapped. And can I just say those drapes in the background look strangely familiar. I think I had some just like that at some point in the past. LOL Thanks for entering the Crafty Sprouts contest at BBTB2. Good luck.
