It's Almost Halloween

Are you ready?  Halloween is almost here!  It is a prime time to grab the camera and shoot away!  I love to take photos on Halloween because of all of the great colors of the costumes and decorations!  I usually amp up my pictures using Photoshop!  The more pop, the better!

Scrapping Halloween is super easy considering all of the great Halloween lines out there.  Think Teresa Collins Haunted Hallows, Bella Blvd's Too Cute to Spook or American Crafts's Nightfall. So many adorable options!  I love a traditional orange and black combo, with a touch of purple!

Here is a layout:

I used Teresa Collins Haunted Hallows here!  The frame and October are all a part of a calendar paper.  I covered the rest up with a variety of patterned papers!  I threw in some red to compliment my son's costume!

I have been very into this diagonal patterning lately...I think it adds something unique and allows you to overlap lots of patterns at once!

Have fun capturing your Halloween memories this year!

Sticky Situation

Ah, who doesn't love the sticker?  It really is a true staple in the scrapbooking world.  Stickers were here long before chipboard and felt.  They have a timeless appeal and are very versatile!  I used a ton of stickers on my layout below!  The One Fall Day collection by Bella BLVD has awesome Autumn theme ones with bright and bold images and words.  To make an impact, group several stickers together.  Be sure to add pop dots underneath one or two stickers for dimension.

Be sure to check out this month's issue of ScrapStreet.com Magazine...my talented friends all used Bella BLVD products for a feature article.

OK so it's not Thursday!!

Guess we are all late this week! Still it's thank God it's Friday today and I have a little something for you... This is especially for Maryse who made a Quick Page out of the ScrapStreet Fall Frolics kit ( still free until the end of the month so go get yours in store!).

As a thank you I have done a little addon.

This will be available for a couple of weeks and then poof it will magically vanish! There are just 4 papers and 3 elements including Fig the frog. Get your copy here and enjoy.
