Hey guys, I'm back with a Halloween layout which is pretty much an "old school" quick and easy layout.
When I first got into scrapbooking in 2010(ish) my neighbor and really good friend, Jessica got me into it. Back then we did a lot of Cricut cutting (the old "dinosaur" Cricut), stickers and paper tearing, which I deemed "old School".
I got away from scrapbooking for a few years when we both moved away. I only recently got back into it and wow have things changed! So many new things like dies, die machines, Flairs, Nuvo Mousse, mixed media, shaker cards/backings, new and improved Cricut machine that doesn't even take a cartridge, puffy stickers, chipboards...oh my!
So when I say old school layout I basically mean some paper tearing, maybe some stickers and alphas. This Halloween layout is basically just that with some added flairs and chipboard stickers!
I teamed up with
Scrappin Happy Studio because I fell in love with her epoxy flairs! They are super thin so they don't bulk up your layout like the buttons do! She also has so many different collections and adding more every couple of weeks that I never get board of her stuff! If you are looking for that extra pop to you layout, head over to her shop and check out all of her collections.
For this layout I started with some American Craft Thickers (Spooky collection), some chipboard autumn leaves and pumpkins, and of course a brand new collection from Scrappin Happy Studio called "Scarey Halloween" (one of my favs this season for sure)!
I took a heavy black 12x12 card stock with a nice sheen to it and used that for the background and another 12x12 piece of Halloween paper, tearing one side of it into a quarter of a sheet, leaving an edge off to the other side to put the little pumkin's and leaves (I have a cute die set that cuts those) and adhered them down the side as a boarder.
I backed my photo with orange card stock, tucking a small bit of it it under the Halloween paper. I cut a background out of a slightly different orange card stock for the word "HALLOWEEN" that I used from the SPOOKY words collection from American Crafts, just to make it pop off the black background.

I have this cute little spider die I got off of Amazon (not going to lie, it was a lot smaller than I thought but I don't hate it). I cut 3 of the spider dies from a halloween paper I had that was black and orange and I backed 2 of the epoxy flairs from Scrappin Happy Studio's, SCARY HALLOWEEN Collection.
I added the "SPOOKY" epoxy flair from the "HALLOWEEN WORDS" collection on the bottom of the photo for that extra pop!
I then added the pumpkin and fall leaves chipboard stickers to the bottom and Bam! Done! So simple, quick and easy. This layout literally took me 15 minutes from start to finish!
