Hi everyone! It's that time of the year again.... Halloween is coming! Here in the UK it certainly isn't as big as it is in the US though it is becoming more popular. I don't have kids so have to improvise for photos, Snapchat filters are very helpful! I'm using the fun Spell On You collection along with the fab new Luna Puffy Alphabet Stickers for my grid design layout....
I started off by creating my background by gutting a piece of the Hocus Pocus paper leaving a 1" border. Then I stuck an 11½" square of white cardstock (with distressed edges) to the frame and added machine stitching in black around the border.
I picked out twelve photos from my selection of Halloween Snapchats! Then I printed them on my Canon Selphy printer (4up with borders). Each one was mounted on one of three patterned papers in black, purple or orange, and the edges were distressed. Then I placed them all on the background leaving a few gaps in the grid as I knew I wanted to add in some of the coordinating Bella-pops and a title. The photos were all stuck down using foam pads to add dimension.
Then I had some fun adding embellishments, firstly adding in the Bella-pops to the three small gaps I'd left. They are super cute!
Next was to decorate the photos using Ephemera Icons and Ephemera Words, some of which I tucked in behind the photos and some were raised on foam pads. Then I added in some smaller elements from the Puffy Stickers, Epoxy Stickers, Matte Enamel Dots and Epoxy Stars.
Finally I added my title, using one of the Ephemera Words which I raised on foam pads. The 'Good Fun' part of the title came about by accident as I initially put down the letters from the new Luna Alphabet in Orange and Guacamole. But I wasn't sure if I preferred the Black so laid them on top just to see what they looked like, and then decided I rather liked the offset look that it had created!
Thanks for popping by and I hope it has left you inspired to get your Halloween photos scrapped!
