Hey everyone! This is Niki (@nikiclairecreates) with two new layouts using the faboolous Simple Vintage Scary Stories collection! I love Halloween collections; they are always so cute and fun!
For my first layout, I’ve used a large photo which is 4”x8” – quite a different size to what I’m used to using and I admit I did struggle to figure out a design that worked with it! I used black cardstock as my layout background and added a wide strip of orange crosshatch paper. I paired this with two other patterns, a small polka dot and a black large circle print. I just used narrow strips of these additional two patterns on the right of the large orange block.
Over on the other side I used one of the chipboard frames as a layer. My photo was the wrong size to fit inside it, but I often use the frames as layers anyway, so this worked well here.
For my title I used the October 31 title from the Foam Stickers. I also used lots of foam stars from the same pack.
I embellished the layouts with bats from the Bits & Pieces, and those cute ghosts too! I also used a few spiders, the Happy Haunting bunting and several Decorative Brads.
I always enjoy using the phrase stickers from the Cardstock Stickers and used a few on this layout ‘spooky’ and ‘toil & trouble’. I handwrote my journaling to the right of the photo and finished off with a few splatters of gold paint and Enamel Dots!
I hope you enjoyed this layout; I loved making it! Here is my process video link for this layout: https://youtu.be/EZ8C-yvOl9Y
For my second layout I started with a sheet of black cardstock and I added gold splatters all over the background. Once dry, I cut a photo into a circle shape and then I went circle crazy! I picked out all the circular embellishments from the Bits & Pieces, the Journal Bits, and the Cardstock Stickers! I layered the circles all around the photo. I raised some on foam pads, stuck some flat, overlapped them until I had a large centralized circle design!
I added Decorative Brads and Enamel dots to the middle of lots of the circles. I wanted them to have lots of dimension and different textures!
I added some words from the Sentiment Bits to the layout: faBoolous, Ghostly, Spooky and Spooktacular! I love Halloween words!! I raised these on foam pads. I also added a few phrase stickers from the Cardstock Stickers and several stars too.
I finished off by handwriting my journaling around the edge of the circular photo. I absolutely love how this one turned out; it was so fun to make!
Thank you so much for joining me today! Be sure to check out the Simple Vintage Scary Stories collection for your spooky scrapbooking this year! Happy haunting!
