~Whimsical Wednesday Halloween Blog Hop~

Welcome to our Whimsical Wednesday Halloween blog hop!
You should have come here from Shelly's blog but if not you should start at the beginning at the Whimsical Wednesday Blog so as not the miss any of the wonderful Halloween projects.

For the hop today I was asked to create a Halloween scrapbook layout. This layout was made for my then 3-year-old daughter's Halloween pictures and my then 5-year-old-son's Halloween pictures.
As is my usual size this double layout is 8.5x11


Here is the first page.
The title was cut from the Cricut "Birthday Bash" cartridge on white glitter cardstock. The spiderweb border is from Martha Stewart. I used tinsel ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique to add some bling to my photo mats. Down at the bottom the fence was cut from the Cricut "Paper Doll Dress Up" cartridge. My journaling pumpkin was cut from the Cricut "Create A Critter" cartridge. The extra pumpkin die cuts came from K & Company.


Here is the second page.
For this page the bats and moon came from K & Company, I added home made glitter spray to the moon to give it a nice sparkle and I added silver Stickles to the bats. The ghost are attached to a piece of cardstock that sides in and out as a jounaling tag and they were also cut from the Cricut "Paper Doll Dress Up" cartridge Their faces were stamped with Peachy Keen stamps.


Here are both pages of my 2 page layout.

Now you are off to the wonderful Libby: http://psastampcamp.blogspot.com

    Woo Hoo fabulous job on your LO! Love how you split it up into two pages, and split that title. So much fun. What a fun punch, and the bats look so pretty with the glitter. You did an awesome job, I know you have your hands full with the kiddos being sick. Hugs!

    I like the way you used the spiderweb border at the top. I may have to get that punch - I love the different ways you Whimsical Ladies are using it!

    What a darling layout Star! I was looking at my kids' albums today and I am so far behind that I can actually use some some inspiration for layouts. I thought I was further along and that now my kids are teens, I didn't need layouts for when they were little, but I am further behind than I thought. That could be good in some ways since I have learned a lot since I worked on them last :) Thanks for sharing this darling layout!
