Spooktacular Selfie

Hi there!

Happy Halloween everyone!   Oh, how i miss the day my kids would dress up for the day, all the preparations, the make up and all the candy afterwards (well, there is still candy!!);  now that they are teenagers all I am left with are sweet memories of Halloween's past.  So, i pulled a few pictures from a couple years ago to create this page using some of the new JustNick Studio cut files.

There are so many cut files to chose from, and it was so hard to pick one, that i decided to mix four cut files in one page.








I combined one of the Basic Heart cut file  images with the Spiderweb 2 background and Web cut files to create the cut out for this page.  I chose to cut it from black cardstock, so that it would stand out from the mixed media background (created with Jane Davenports Mermaid Markers).





Before setting the cut out on the page, a bit of white acrylic paint was rubbed on the cardstock, this gives the cut out that worn/antique look you see in the layout.





The pictures were sized so that they fit in between the two spiderwebs inside the heart, and then i used stickers and embellishments from a few Halloween collections (Simple Vintage Halloween from Simple Stories,  Pink Paislee's Spellcast and Pebbles' Midnight Haunting) to add some small details around the page.





For the title of this page, I chose the new Happy Halloween cut file to create the "SPOOKTACULAR" part of the title.  It was cut from black cardstock and then treated to a white acrylic paint wash.





Now it is time to go and set all the candy in bowls for us to share (well a bit of it, at least!).  Remember to stop by the JustNick Studio store to check all the cut files used here and all other beautiful designs.  You can always contact me if you have questions on how this all came together!
Have a safe and  Happy Halloween!!

Halloween Memories

Scrapbook Layout created for Simple Stories  - TOO CUTE TO SPOOK -




Hello everyone!  Nathalie with you today with a new layout that celebrates all those past Halloween memories.  My kids are now teenagers, which means they have stopped wearing customes, but i still have lots of pictures of all the Halloweens past, and the new SIMPLE VINTAGE HALLOWEEN was perfect to bring those memories to live.




First i used a cut file from the Cut Shoppe to create all the bats from the Fright Night, Beware and 2x2 element papers.  While the papers were being cut, the background was being constructed with some black paint, orange and gold watercolor.




The bat cut outs were layered, then hand stitched to the page.   A bit of foam adhesive and strong glue was added to create the illusion of movement on the bats's wings.







There are so many cute embellishments in the Simple Vintage Halloween collection, that it was so easy to use them to create layered clusters around the picture.




To create the title of this page, I simply used the bottom left corner of the picture to layer some embellishments in a cluster, and then added the die cut piece on top of it all to form my title.




Love how this turned out!  The new SIMPLE VINTAGE HALLOWEEN from Simple Stories is the perfect collection to document your past and present Halloween memories.  You are going to love it!  Have a Great Halloween!!!
