Today I was going to play around with some Halloween items to make something for the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge....I ADORE that name. I grabbed a Simple Stories "Happy Halloween" mini collection that I have had since the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo in 2019. I was stuck as to what to do with it, the kit only has 6 double-sided pages and a 6x12 sticker sheet. I did not want to waste any with going willy-nilly on a design.
Then this afternoon I watched a FB live with Noreen from Organized and Creative Mom. She showed a 5-Step / 5 Minute layout that was absolutely wonderful. That got my creative juices going.
Instead of doing the circle cut I used Stamps of Life - Fancy Pumpkin Fold-it base die. Then used the layering dies to cut out the pumpkin in a mustard yellow shimmer cardstock; a leaf (Sizzix # 663094 - Skeleton Leaves) cut from a scrap of ink blended cardstock. I used just a single cut and trimmed to make 2 separate pieces. The grass (Stamps of Life is also cut from the ink blended paper. The rest of the paper is Neenah 65# paper from a starter pack. The orange is 4" x 6" mat layered with the black cut at 3.75" x 5.75". I popped up the bats and phrases along the photo mats. I now have another base page in my scrapbook.
Fun layout! Thank you for sharing with us at Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge.
