Halloween layout for Bella Blvd

Happy Halloween!!!!!

*If you celebrate this fun and spooky holiday, please please stay safe and warm this evening!!!*

Today on the Bella Blvd blog are some very fun Halloween layouts!! :)

I'm Jacob Hear me Roar!

This layout is of my youngest, Jacob, at one year old. The photo is of him right before we left to go trick-or-treating, and he was very excited! I wanted to showcase the excitement he had with a very classic, bold and colorful Halloween layout. I was able to accomplish that using mostly the 'Too Cute To Spook' collection, as well as some other coordinating Bella products.

Supplies:
Too Cute To Spook: Spooky Night, Cute Cuts, Borders, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Miniature Stickers; Sunny Happy Skies: Magic In The Sky; Simply Simona Chipboard Alphas: Pickle Juice; High Five Alpha Stickers: Black-White; Designer Tape: Jail Bird, Gulf Dot

Thanks so much for stopping by!!! :)

My Scraps and More: Trick-or-Treat Crop layout...

Hi all!!

I have a post up today over at My Scraps and More:

The Trick-or-Treat Crop is still going on!! You have until tomorrow to turn in your layouts!! You can find it HERE in the forum.

Today I am going to share a layout I created for one of the challenges:

Trick-or-Treat Crop Challenge #7:

My absolute favorite candy of all time, especially at Halloween, is Sweet Tarts!!!


For your challenge, you are to use Sweet Tarts as your inspiration! The colors, shapes, packaging, name, etc...whatever inspires you! Just be sure to include what it was when you upload your layout!

I have used the Sweet Day collection by Echo Park for my layout. I was inspired by the colors and the name.

In addition to the candy challenge, you are also to use this fabulous sketch by Kristine Davidson:

I used A BUNCH of fabulous Bella goodies for my layout:

This Sweet Face

 This is my sweet, adorable niece just hours after she was born. I wanted the to do a small, clustered layout so the focus would be all around her sweet, little face. I added a pie chart and plenty of layered banners. So, so many Bella products perfect for this challenge!

Baby Boy: Momma's Boy, Borders, Alpha + Bits Stickers, Miniature Stickers

Okay, now head over to the Bella BLOG and get to scrapping!!! :)

Boys Rule layout using the October Kit

Happy Tuesday, everyone! :)

I have a layout up on the Boys Rule Scrapbook Kit's blog today!

I have used the fabulous October Kit featuring Studio Calico's Yearbook collection, as well as the October 12th sketch.

24/7:

 I love the colors from this collection!! Great for school, boys, everyday photos!! This is my sweet Jacob with his award for reading 200 books! He definitely #lovestoread  :) 

Plenty of layers and I just loved that little a/apple card from this paper! I also decided to mat in black for this layout....it's been awhile since I have done that, huh?! I made the decision based on the awesome 24/7 title included in this kit!!

 I decided that the alterable wood bingo motifs by Maya Road, from the kit, needed to be "matted in black" as well, lol! So I grabbed my trusty Sharpie and went to work! ;)

 

 

Here is your October 12th sketch again:

There is still plenty of time to link up your layouts for this sketch for your chance to win a Boys Rule RAK!!!! The link is on the sidebar of the Boys Rule BLOG.

That's all I have for you today!!

Thanks for stopping by!! :)

Bella Blvd layout using the new Kiss Me collection!!

What do you all think of the new Kiss Me collection by Bella Blvd????

I absolutely ♥ this collection! Navy and pink is such a gorgeous color combo....one of my favorites!! 

I have a layout up today on the Bella Blvd blog featuring the new collection: Kiss Me!!!

MR and MRS:

This layout is of my husband and I at our wedding rehearsal. When I first got this collection, I immediately new I was going to scrap this photo! I absolutely love it with the heart tree!! ♥

(The blues and pinks of this collection are just amazing!! Just right for this photo of my husband and I at our wedding rehearsal. I used a variety of the coordinating alphas, and let the title be my journaling. All the love accents and embellishments were just the perfect touch!)

Be sure to head over to the Bella Blvd blog to see what the other girls have made!!

My Scraps and More October DT Reveal

Hello, hello!! :)

Today I am sharing my October DT reveal over at the My Scraps and More blog:

Jenny here to share my projects that I created with the MME Lost and Found Halloween collection. I have to say, that I am a total sucker for Halloween lines...LOVE them!! And, this one is no exception! The neutral colors with the pop of orange glitter is amazing! I decided to scrap my 2010 Halloween photos, as I haven't scrapped them yet! I still have many, many more to scrap, but I picked a few and had a blast playing!!

Beware:

For this layout, I scrapped this fun(supposed to be scary, lol) photo of Daniel. This is one of my favorite photos! I added the lightning to help with the scariness, and I am really liking it!! Definitely going to do this more!!

Costume Crazy:

This layout is of the boys in their costumes. I darkened the photo a bit...making it "scarier", lol.

 Happy Halloween:

This is our family photo we take every Halloween. I feel it's important for my husband and I to be in the photos, too. Seeing as during Halloween, we usually only get photos of our cuties in their costumes trick-o-treating. :)

Halloween:

I decided to make a quick and simple Halloween card, as well. 

Can you tell which were my favorite papers??? They showed up in every layout and one on the card.  ;)

I really love how these projects turned out!! I wasn't so sure how I was going to like the glitter, but it adds SOOO much to the look of the pages/card!!!

The other girls did AMAZING!! Be sure to check out their projects as well!

Hope we inspired you all, and that you enjoyed this month's reveal!! :)

You can purchase some My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Halloween for yourself at the My Scraps and More store HERE.

Don't forget, My Scraps and More is hosting an online Halloween crop this weekend at their forums! There are lots of challenges, games and prizes!!! You can find it HERE.
