Trick or Treat Layout

Hey everyone!  It is time for a new challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2.  With Halloween just a few days away, Jayne has selected a Halloween Theme for this week's challenge.  All you have to do to join the challenge is create a Halloween themed project with a Halloween cut from a Cricut cartridge of your choice.  

I have TONS of Halloween photos to scrap!  I am just so happy with how this layout came out!  I really like it!  I used the Happy Hauntings and Mini Monsters Cricut cartridges for the cuts.  Check out my video below.  If you are having trouble seeing the video, be sure you are trying to view it from my blog or from YouTube, as it won't show up in the email.

"Witch" Way to the Candy? Layout

Hey everyone!  I'm back sharing another Halloween layout.  I'm kind of sad October is almost over because I love creating Halloween layouts!  This one was my favorite to make so far.  I'm entering it in some challenges, and you can check out my video below.  
So my usual scrapbooking process is to create a layout after I have pictures.  However, this layout is designed for Halloween for this year.  That's a big deal for me!  I guess we'll see how it goes, and hopefully I'll have pictures to fit the mats I made.  
My inspiration for this layout is my daughter's Halloween costume this year.  She's going to be a "good" witch with sparkles and purple hair.  So I created a layout with a witch's accessories:)
Cuts are from Mini Monsters and Happy Hauntings and embellished with Stickles and Recollections glitter with the help of my Xyron sticker maker.

Bewitching Layout

Isn't this the cutest Halloween layout EVER!  I ordered the page kit from Out on a Limb Scrapbooking.  I had been admiring their layouts for a while and decided to order this one and a Christmas one.  I was so excited to get it in.  You get directions too.  For EVERYTHING you see here, it was only $8.00.  The only thing I added was a little inking to the cute little witch.  I was so excited with how it came out and I didn't have to do any thinking...well only which pictures I'd choose and where I would put them.  
Isn't she cute?
I REALLY love their titles!!
Since this order, I did order a few more.  I don't mind spending a little to get all the work done for me every once in a while.  I still get the chance to be creative at the same time.
