Sweet & Spooky Layout by Paige Evans

Hello scrappy friends! Here is a grid based layout that I made with BooVille!

I used my Grid for Stitching Cut File on a light pink textured cardstock base and did a chain stitch through the holes with light pink thread. In each segment I added a cluster of embellishments with a small square black & white photo in the center. Notice the spiderweb rub-ons in the corners - too cute to spook! I loved making this layout!

Spooktacular at Disneyland Layout by Paige Evans

How fitting to share a Disneyland-themed layout when we are currently at Disneyland for our annual dose of Halloween magic!! I love to utilize the cover sheet from my Pinkfresh Studio 12x12 paper packs and so that's exactly what this layout features: the cover sheet from my BooVille collection 12x12 Paper Pack!

I started by trimming 1/4" from both the top and bottom edges to make the cover sheet 12x12". Then I used my sewing machine to zig zag stitch between all of the patterns. Across the center informational strip I placed a large 12x4" photo of Fox & Jane in front of the spookified gates at Disneyland last October. 

Because the background is busy enough, I didn't need to add tons of embellishing. I clustered tag Ephemera Die Cuts, a pumpkin from the Floral Die Cuts, Cardstock Stickers, Title Puffy Stickers, Mini Puffy Stickers, and Enamel Shapes around the photo and spelled "DISNEYLAND" with the colorful Alpha Puffy Stickers. The only embellishment I didn't use were the Rub-On Transfers which now I feel the need to go back and add just one to say I used all the SKUs :)

I love highlighting the cover sheet because it looks like I spent a long time meticulously piecing the background together when in reality, it comes like that! All the work is done for me! Thanks for stopping by and have a happy day filled with "witch" crafts!

Batty for You Layout by Paige Evans

Hi scrappy friends! Here is a new layout I made with BooVille featuring my Bat Border from the 13 Halloween Cut Files Bundle!

I started with a purple textured cardstock background and did a bit of mixed media including swiping a layer of white gesso in the shape of the Bat Border from the top left to the bottom right corners. Then I used the packaging technique to press gray watercolors over the gesso. As a final layer I splattered black watercolors and white acrylic paint on top. I cut the Bat Border from dark gray cardstock and backed the bats with patterned papers from the 12x12 Paper Pack as well as the 6x6 Paper Pad. I popped the bats off the background with foam squares for dimension & shadows and then tucked two 3x4" photos into the top.

To embellish I placed three pennant Cardstock Stickers on the top right corner and sprinkled colorful star Puffy Stickers, star Enamel Shapes, and silver Enamel Dots in between the bats. I wrote journaling on a tag and made the title "batty for you" with the Title Puffy Stickers. I had so much fun making this layout and am a sucker for all things Halloween :) Thanks for stopping by and have a happy scrappy weekend!

Hocus Pocus Layout by Valerie Bisson

Hi crafty friends! Valerie Bisson back on the blog today and I’m so happy to share a new scrapbook layout with you featuring Paige’s Hocus Pocus title from her 20 Halloween Cut Files and her BooVille collection with Pinkfresh Studio!

I love a good starting point for a layout so I went through Paige’s library of cut files and found the Hocus Pocus cut file from one of her past bundles, the 20 Halloween Cut Files. It paired nicely with the photos I chose to scrapbook - a couple snapchat photos of my daughter and our kitty. So with white cardstock I cut out the Hocus Pocus design and backed it with several different patterns from the 12x12 Paper Pack. For the sparkles and stars on the cut file I used glitter cardstock and for the broom some neutral tones found in my stash. Then I placed it on the lower half of the page with photos above on the black starry background paper. I wanted to jazz up the background a bit more so I added a lace edge punched border strip from the gray spiderweb paper and placed it on the left and right sides. Followed by a quarter inch strip of the pink patterned paper. For added texture I hand stitched the lace border edge and machine stitched the pink strips. I incorporated pieces from all the different embellishments including pieces from the Ephemera Die Cuts, Mini Puffy Stickers, Cardstock Stickers, Chipboard Stickers, Rub-On Transfers, and Enamel Shapes. That completes my layout! I hope you have a chance to create with the awesome BooVille collection!
