It is time to get all those sweet & spooky memories captured and documented! And what better way to do it than with the fun and colorful HEY PUMPKIN collection. The colors and designs in the collection are just so cute, it was so easy to bring this layout together.
A grid design is always a great way to get pages created quickly and with amazing results. My inspiration for the design was the 3x4 cards in the Sabrina's Socks paper.
I trimmed the cards from the paper, and using a craft knife took the center of them, so that leftover piece reminded me of frames. I backed 3 of them with the white spiderweb paper from the 6x6 paper pad, and set them on a piece of light gray cardstock.
I used the fourth card/frame to house my photo, and set it in the top right corner of my grid. I love the florals in the Odds+Ends pack , and used them to embellish my frames. I am also using stickers from Icon sticker sheet to bring more embellishments to two of the frames, while leaving the last one empty for the journaling.
I decided to mix pieces from the Chit Chat pack to create my title at the bottom of the grid. I then went around the grid adding Sprinkles and a few extra puffy black spiders to tie all the frames together.
To finish my page, I created two borders from the Peek-A-Boo paper, set them to the side of the cardstock, then glued it all to the Hey Pumpkin paper. I love how it all turned out! Be sure to check the HEY PUMPKIN collection.
Hi there!
Halloween is one of those fun holidays that i am missing more and more as my kids grow up, but thankfully i still have my fur baby to dress and parade around. So, today i am building a page all about our last Halloween using the new Hey Pumpkin collection from Crate Paper that i picked from Scrapbook Nerd.
It all started with a purple piece of cardstock, and added a bit of Vicki Boutin gesso with my brush to the center of the page. Once it dried, i added a bit of black ink using the packaging technique followed by Heidi Swapp Gold Color shine and Altenew Metallic Cosmic Berry ink and Pure White ink. To finish the page, i used a bit of Vicki Boutin Black art crayon with a Stencil brush through a Kaiserkraft Stardust once the liquid had completely dried.
I chose to work with the large haunted house pieces of ephemera and chipboard and used them to create the scene of this page. I kept the picture simple with a few layers of cardstock and papers -from the collection- and nestle it between the houses.
The title of the page came so easy together by mixing both Chipboard and the alphas from the collection.
To balance the page, I cut about 1" from the bottom edge, distressed the edge and then added some paper layers under the edge and created a small cluster at the junction of the paper layers. Here is the final layout:
I love how this turned out, and how easy this came together and all the layers. The following video will show you how this came together:
I hope this inspires you to document your Halloween memories. Remember to check the materials used on this page at the Scrapbook Nerd shop. As always if you have questions on how this came together, please do not hesitate to contact me!
This month's AT MY TABLE kit is gorgeous, versatile and completely perfect for this story of my daughter's last first day of school picture (she is graduating HS this year).
I pulled the Life Crafted Screen of the Picture Perfect cut file to create the title page for this layout. I simply cut the screen to fit the page, and backed it with one of the Digital TN papers (the contrast of yellow and blue/teal is a fave of mine) then created a cluster on the middle of the page using elements from the kit. I really love the floral paper, and had fun fussy cutting the images, and then there is the mini alpha stickers...
For the other side of my layout, i chose to create a cluster of papers and ephemera at the top corner of the layout. I tried to repeat the same elements as in the title page, so that the two sides are cohesive and then just added my lines of journal and a few more stamped sentiments from the TN stamp set. Just love how this turned out.
Let's now check a second option using the PICTURE PERFECT cut file and the mini Halloween kit:
The mini Halloween kit features the new Crate Paper - Hey Pumpkin collection, and i couldn't resist creating a page from one of our old Halloween memories.
This time, i am using the second format of the cut file and cut it from white cardstock. I used some of the papers from the kit to back a few of the empty spaces of the cut file - mixing solid cardstock, with patterned paper and some icons- and attached it to the background using some foam adhesive.
A bit of black paint (Pinkfresh Studio watercolor available in the CTK shop) on the background makes all the details of the cut stand out, as well as all the clusters of embellishments around the page. To finish this page, i added a few stamped sentiments inside the empty film strip spots using the TN stamp set and gold ink.
The following video will show you how this all came together:
