Happy Halloween Matey

I had a blast creating this layout! I haven't done many two-pagers lately, but I didn't want to squeeze these pictures onto just one. I made this page to submit to Scrapbook Generations for Issue 10 of their online magazine, Create. 

I've had this laser cut spiderweb from Quick Quotes for over a year. When I started putting this page together I knew I had to use it. I cut the bottom off of it to add part of it to the other page. 

I added stitching, doodles, ink and sequins to this layout. Lots of fun!

This Halloween paper had been in my stash for years. I was thrilled to finally use it!

I love this picture of my son in his costume! It's one of my favorites.

I adore a Thickers! I'm a bit of an alpha freak. I was able to use two different types on this page. 

Thanks for looking over my layout. Please let me know your thoughts. Happy Halloween!

I Love Who You Are!

Hello everyone! This week's challenge from Lasting Memories Challenges is Anything Goes. That's right...create whatever you like! Sometimes those can be the hardest to do. I always love having a sketch or colors to boost my inspiration. And that didn't change for this project. I had so much fun making this layout! And, I used scraps to create it. What an awesome way to use up all those little bit of paper I have laying around.

My daughter is beautiful; she always has been. But beyond that, she is so much more. I absolutely love who she has become. She's nearly 20 now and really coming into the person she was meant to be. I'm loving watching her grow up.

To create this layout I used a free sketch from Scrapbook Generation's July 2014 CREATE magazine. I loved the idea of the strips of paper creating this background. I used their sketch and made it my own as well. Lots of fun!

I used October Afternoon Mini Market alphas for the title. Sometimes the little letters are just what is needed. The stars are Heidi Swapp embellishments. The flair and sequins were little things I had in my stash.

These strips of paper are so much fun! Inking all the edges was a bit messy, but it adds so much detail.

This large tag was left over from a kit from Noel Mignon. The papers come from that kit as well. I love the little bits of Washi tape as well.

Don't forget to head to Lasting Memories to take on this challenge. Play with your supplies and have fun! 

I hope you enjoyed looking at my layout. Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
