Hello, hello! It's officially October and our Halloween decorations are now up! Now it really feels like the Halloween season. Today, I am sharing a new layout using the brand new Spell On You collection for the Bella Blvd Creative Team. I am continuing to go back to previous Halloweens and document photos that are still not scrapped. This photo is from 2014 and it's one of my middle daughter at the age of 2 1/2. She had picked a zebra costume that year!
For the main element on my layout, I wanted to have a large title that said the word "Bootiful" which was so fitting for my little girl! I used the following patterned papers: Borders, All Tricks No Treats, Carving Pumpkins, Daily Details, Candy Dots, Bootiful Night, Spooky Skulls and Wee Witches to hand-cut each letter. I wanted the title to be whimsical and fun so a hand-cut title makes this possible! I then outlined each letter using a white gel pen.
Next, I grabbed the Bella Besties Hearts + Ombre paper in Orange and used the ombre side to create the background. I tore approximately an inch off of both the top and bottom to create some fun texture. I adhered this paper onto some black cardstock. This really helped the background paper pop! After adhering the title using both foam adhesive and my ATG gun, I added my photo next to the word "boo".
Finally, I worked on embellishing around the title and photo. I wanted a bunch of elements peeking out and around the letters. I added some puffy bats (which I actually DESPISE in real life), clouds, skulls, a ghost and spider, a spooky tree, a spider web and a ton more! I grabbed a scalloped border from the Ciao Chip to ground the bottom letters to the layout. The last step was using some black watercolor to splatter all over the background and elements on the layout! I was careful to avoid my photo by covering it up with a scrap piece of paper.
I am so excited for Halloween and all of the festivities that occur this month. This layout felt good to get done and I can cross off another Halloween photo documented! I hope you have a wonderful day, and I will catch up with you all next time!
