SPOOKY HALLOWEEN - Simple Stories

Nathalie with you today to share a new Halloween inspired layout.   Though my kids are teenagers now, and not a fan of the holiday, I still have lots of their snapshots when they were little ones and loved dressing up and going out to trick-or-treat around the neighbourhood.   So, when I opened the new BOO CREW collection, I quickly pulled one of their photo session shots for this page.

I started this page by creating the spiderweb background.  For this, I used the Spiderweb and Spider cut file ( #301895) from Simple Stories; I copy and welded three of the spiderweb designs.  This was cut from the Happy Haunting Paper using a Silhouette Cameo.

A bit of foam adhesive behind the die cut brings dimension and interest to the background.   I chose the Aspen Notebook Sn@p Basics paper as the base for the layout as it brought a soft distress look to the page.

To make the picture pop from the page, I used a few of the 4x6 and 4x4 cut apart cards as layers behind it.  Then used foam adhesive to attach it to the background.   There are so many beautiful embellishments in this collection that it was so easy to build clusters at the corners of the pictures.

To finish the page, I combined words from both the Chipboard and Foam stickers to create my title.  Then used the coordinating stamp to add a few stamped sentiments all around the page.  Finally, I added a few of the Chipboard and ephemera bats around the spiderwebs.

I love how this turned out, and how easily it came together with the fun  Simple Stories' BOO CREW collection.   I am sure you are going to love documenting your memories with it, too!

XO,

Nathalie
