The One with the American Crafts HALLOWEEN Layout

I have a layout up on the American Crafts blog with a Halloween theme!

TRICK OR TREAT 2013 by Paige Evans

Description: I was totally inspired by Christin Grønnslett for this layout. Sometimes when I'm in a creative rut I find it helpful to try new techniques and styles to push me in new directions. So, thank you Christin for inspiring me :)

Journaling says: You wanted to be a spooky ghost for Halloween and I had so much fun making your costume at home! Boo!

How to: Watercolor shades of orange across a white cardstock layout background then drop white acrylic paint and black India ink around it - let the cardstock dry. Layer patterned paper blocks and a grid of photos on the center. Tuck Halloween-themed tags, die cut, wood veneer, cork, stickers, and more under and around the photos. Journal on a tag and stamp the date below. Glue sequins all around to finish. 

Supplies: Cardstock, patterned paper, cork, wood veneer, stickers, sequins, die cuts, roller date stamp, pen, adhesive: American Crafts; Ink: StazOn; Watercolors: Mister Huey's by Studio Calico; India ink: ProArt; Paint: Americana

Happy (ALMOST!) Halloween!
