Halloween Layout by Valerie Bisson

Hi friends! Valerie Bisson here and I’m so happy to share my Snapchat Fun scrapbook layout with you featuring Paige's Polaroids from the 20 Halloween Cut Files paired with her Blooming Wild & Garden Shoppe collections.

I started with Blooming Wild Paper 5 for my background then to grunge it up I misted silver spray ink across the page and also some black watercolors. Then I machine stitched with black thread around the edge 3 times, purposely making the lines crooked and messy. Next I cut the Polaroids from a rainbow of patterned papers from Blooming Wild and Garden Shoppe. In addition I added a black cardstock layer behind each frame. Then I machine stitched with white thread around each frame and backed each with some scrap papers from Garden Shoppe and my photos. For the center frame I decided to make it into a shaker filled with sequins. For this I added a piece of acetate to the back of the frame, then strips of foam adhesive around the edges which creates a space for the sequins. Finally, to close in the sequins, a piece of black cardstock to which I added a title in the silver letter stickers from the Blooming Wild Sticker Book before adding it to the back of my sequin shaker box. For a little dimension I used foam adhesive squares to attach all the polaroids to the background paper. I embellished my layout with several pieces from the Blooming Wild Sticker Book including the silver ric rac, a striped border, word stickers, silver alphas, and a couple of tabs from the Chipboard Stickers. I also fussy cut some tags from Garden Shoppe Paper 13 and flowers from Paper 7 distributed around my page. Final touches include some stamping with Paige’s Halloween Roller Stamp added in a few places and a year and Boo with the Splendid mono foam Thickers.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you’re inspired to create a project using the Polaroids from the 20 Halloween Cut Files along with the Blooming Wild & Garden Shoppe collections!
