Happy Fall - Ya'll!!! This is Amy from redwolfSCRAPS. It is my honor to once again post as a guest designer on Pam's blog. This was a very difficult challenge for me - I am a "scrap the picture" kind of gal - and I don't have any Halloween pictures yet - and none left over from previous years. I did gather from this challenge that I might want to pick up the October 31st cartridge :-). We are not a very ghouls and goblins family - but oh how we do love the CANDY!!!
I used the gypsy mat size of 12 x 24 to pre-plan my 2 page layout. I then slid all the items over to the left and changed my mat size to 12 x 12 and started using the layers to set up my cutting mats.

Here are all the raw cut pieces, and the tools I used: some glimmer mist, stickles, a few different colors of inks to add dimension, my glue pen, tweezers, white and silver gel pens. For the candy I used a set of Jolee's stickers I had in my stash. The paper is American Crafts and Bazzill. After I took this picture I realized I need my craft knife (web pieces and fine details of cauldron), my sissors and my ATG gun - how could I forget my ATG gun!!!
The finished 2 page layout.
Details of the candy cauldron.
To give the spider a little "umph" I used my silver gel pen and added spider webs and highlight on the legs and body - I even gave him a little smiley face. I also added those little "wiggly" lines for future journaling.
I tucked the webs in and out of the words and photo mats. The big spider reminded me of Charlotte's web, so I added all of the little spiders hanging and crawling everywhere with my black sharpie pen.
With Charlotte in mind - I had one of the little spiders spell out "Happy Halloween"
I hope you enjoyed my layout. The other thing I thought would have been cute is a big haunted house in the background (the reason I wanted the Oct 31st cart) and add a picket fence with some of the PDDU halloween characters walking down the sidewalk - I just thought that would be cute. Have a great month - this is my favorite time of the year.
