Happy Haunting

I have selected some items from the Graphic 45 - BOOtiful Greetings collection, to create some layouts for the Papermaze Blog for October. I like the way this collection could be used for Halloween and autumn. The generic patterns and plains included in this collection make it suitable for other layouts too. 

For details on making this layout, please see the Scrap Paper Scissors Blog. 

I chose this photo of my nephew and his family enjoying at day out at Drucillas to celebrate Halloween. 

The items I used from Papermaze:
Blackbird Bazzill 
Tangelo Bazzill
Walnut Cream Bazzill
Dried Marigold Distress Ink 
Graphic 45 - BOOtiful Greetings collection - Rusty Orange Pattern & Solid Sheet, Bewitching Layout, Borders & Ephemera Set 
Doodlebug Designs Alphabet Soup Puffy stickers Coral

The items from my own stash:
Large label templates
Glittery orange ribbon
Doodlebug Design Teensy Type Cardstock stickers Beetle Black
3D foam pads
Card Candi - Cream, Orange & Black

 

That's all for today, back with more soon.
Thanks for looking.

Every Day Life

Here is another layout for the iNSD challenges, this one is for two different challenges:

Peartree Cutfiles 'Rainbow colours and Nuvo Drops'. 

Paige Evans 'Scraplift' - I have included an image of the layout I have scraplifted, but I can't trace the creator. If you recognise the maker, please let me know.

Here is my layout with a photo from 1977 when colour Polaroid cameras were popular, my friend brought one to school, to record a few events of sixth form life.

"After the popular black-and-white prints came the peel-apart color prints in 1963, and non-peel-apart color prints followed in 1972. By 1977, the height of its popularity, Polaroid held two-thirds of the instant camera market, despite competition from Kodak."

I used a sheet of Smooth White Bazzill for the background. and flicked some Black Soot Distress Paint over the cardstock in the areas where the paper blocks will go.

From Vicki Boutin's Bold + Bright collection I cut some squares from the Picnic Blanket sheet, in a series of rainbow colours. I cur an extra oeange one, and turned this into a tag.

Will a collection of buttons, Card Candi, and other ephemera, I decorated each square, matching the colour scheme. I used a flair from Peartree Cutfiles. I cut phrases from Simple Stories - For the Record - Just the Details paper.

The title is some old Cafe Rojo alphabet stickers from Basic Grey.

I finished off with a rainbow of different coloured Nuvo Drops.

Washington Monument

This is the last layout I made using the January Papermaze Kit, it features me and my daughter in Washington at the Monument. It was an amazingly sunny December day, cold but with lovely blue skies. We spent a day on the Mall looking at the various memorials.
