Truly you find gems in your photographs of
Halloween excitement when the grown-ups are
having as much fun as the children in costume
and at the party. It’s even more fun when we
scrap with that same abandon! These next few
designs are just a little more on the frightful
side, grown up in terms of spooky patterns,
frightful decorations and scary parties.
Why not embrace a theme when you have one, for
adults or not, like Kate’s pirates on the page?
Dana’s taking Halloween to a whole new level,
decorating her page like some of the spookiest
houses in our neighborhoods. Kate shows off
another page using soft embellishments to make a
strong Halloween impression.

Design note:
The pirate skull was copied from a card. Fun
to trace and make a pattern for your own
paper piecing to add a personal touch to a
page.

Ribbon: Creative Imagination, Sticker: EK
Success.
Journaling:
Jim was Captain Morgan and I was his
pirate Wench for our annual Halloween party
2007. Pirate theme all the way! I had a
blast putting all the decorations up &
making ghoulish food. Our guests out did
themselves with fun costumes!

Design note:
You can easily make embellishments by
cutting out a section of patterned paper
with decorative scissors like I did with the
skull. This was part of a 12 x 12 piece of
paper. I also took a naked chipboard arrow
and used chalk ink to quickly paint it. It
gives a muted shade and you can mix colors
together after each coat dries. |

Editor’s Note:
Don’t have time to find your own
die-cuts and embellishments? Look in your
Halloween decorating stash and copy or be
inspired by the shapes of your favorite
holiday decorations.
 |
Design note:
I like layering. Sometimes just dropping the
papers makes an interesting design. I'll
play with that first, then add details. It
is amazing what a few pen dots can do to
jazz up or finish a layout.
