October Scrapbook Pages

Sometimes I get a little freaked out designing
scrapbook pages until I remember that 
scrapbook pages are just really big card front.
It goes together much quicker with this frame of mind.

For our October pages of course we did a Halloween
or October theme.  We used the Jar of Haunts,
Spooky Fun and Ghoulish Grunge stamp set
along with the wonderful Halloween Night 12″ x 12″
Cardstock Pack and the Halloween Night designer paper.
Halloween Page 1
Page base is Basic Gray with a layer of Pumpkin Pie
I used the Halloween Night designer paper and Baker’s Twine to create the banners on the left.
I cut out a black tree using the Halloween Scenes framelits.
Check out the grave stones — we used the Spooky Fun stamp set and coordinating Halloween Scenes framelits set to cut them out.

Halloween Page 2
Page base is same as other page — Basic Gray with Pumpkin Pie.
Picture mats are 3 3/4″ x 5 3/4″ — need three mats.
Stamp spider web in upper right corner and don’t forget to stamp the spider too.  Stamp jar on Whisper White with Memento — don’t forget to add the Candy Corn inside the jar — cut out using the Everyday Jars framelits.
Color all candy corn and cut one out with Paper Snips.

One last addition — words are from Suite Seasons.
It says — Vampires, Witches and Ghost, Oh My!!

I love the color combos and how this turned out.
I hope you will make some and share your pictures with me.
