This is Halloween - James, Elaina, and kids

My son and his family really get into Halloween. They were perfect as Jack and Sally this year. These pictures required a two page layout. Their boys wanted to the own things this year.


I found clip art of the dog and bats on line, printed it, cut it out, and used embossing powder on it.


The pumpkins are a stamp I found at the Target dollar spot years ago. I stamped on scraps, cut them out, and pop dotted some of them. They have also been chalked. I had this metal bat in my collection and thought it worked well for these pictures.


The bats are clip art that has been cut out and embossed.

This metal spider has been in my collection for a long time. I have no idea who made it. The title is chipboard letters. I had to use an e from another collection because this one didn't have two.

I used 5 12X12 sheets of paper and quite a few scraps on this layout.

Follow the White Rabbit - Charlie

Charlie and her cute parents went all in for Halloween.


The paper came from a yard sale. I used a journaling stamp.

The squares behind the rabbit, Alice, and the cat were from borders that I picked up when I bought someone's whole stash at a yard sale. I didn't think I'd ever use them, but cut apart and layered, they work great for this layout. Alter what you have if what you have isn't quite right.

The Rabbit, Alice, and the Cat are clip art off the internet and hand cut.

 The title is from four different sets of letter stickers. I'm working hard to get rid of my stash. I also used some really old Provo craft brads (the keyhole and key).

Yes, this layout contains actual clock hands. 

I used three full 12x12 sheets on this layout.

A Slick n' Beauty Birthday - Olivia

Olivia wanted a Slick n' Beauty Birthday, and Aunt Paula provided. When Sleeping Beauty sleeps, she is sick n' beauty but she she is awake she is Slick N' Beauty. Livi currently loves Maleficent with Angelina Jolie. Half her cake was Aurora and half was Maleficent.

This is my first two pager in a long time. The background paper was a gift from Matthew. I wish I had another pack of it.

 Aurora is a sticker, placed on vellum.

Maleficent is from the internet and hand cut. I added a few lines to give her robes some dimension. The title is made from rubons and two different foam sticker sets.

The pink tag was from a kit, and Aurora is a sticker. All the black butterflies and flowers are stickers that I picked up at a yard sale. I added a few rhinestones.


 Isn't this the coolest cake?

I used five full sheets of 12x12 paper on this layout.

All Roads Lead to Grandma - Auron

This is my newest grandson, and he is such a happy little boy.

 I used rubons and two different styles of stickers for the title. I finished up some black ribbon, and cut the cars out of patterned paper and added clear embossing powder to them.

 The black tag is from some clothing, but I cut it and only added it above and below the photographs.

I used three full sheets of paper as well as cutting out the cars from another sheet on this layout.

Aria and Uncle Matt

They have both grown so much. I found all of this paper at a yard sale.


I used letter stickers for the title. "And Uncle Matt" were the wrong color. They were cream, but an inkpad made them just the right color for this layout.

I used a Martha Steward border punch of the little hearts, and a Stampin' up stamp for the butterflies. The 'baby girl' came from another collection, and I added tiny buttons.

I used two full sheets of paper and a few scraps to create this layout.

Trick or Treat - Matt and Justin

Matt and Justin have been friends since birth, and this year they were scary for Halloween.


This is a combination of items from different collections. I was able to use a few scraps on this one.

I used one full sheet of paper and several scraps on this layout.
