Spooky Halloween Scrapbook Layout | Melissa Minor | October Color Kitz

 Hi crafty friends! Melissa Minor here and I'm super excited to be sharing another layout with you for the Shimmerz Paintz design team. I'm using the October 2024 Color Kitz. I started the layout by painting some of the Dandy Lion-Creameez onto white mixed media cardstock. I then cut that piece down and used as a layering piece behind my photos. 

I layered up some of the bright and fun patterned papers from the kit. To embellish my layout I brought in quite a few dies from my stash. For the title, I cut the word SPOOKY using a festive font. I then used some Vicki Boutin Thickers and finished my title with the word FUN. The thickers are white so I used some of the Celery-Shimmerz to paint in the letters. I love the shiny green this brought down to the bottom of the layout. 

Next I cut some tags with various papers from the kit. I added some ribbon and twine to give my layout extra interest and dimension. I embellished with one of the dotz and several ephemera pieces from the kit. I love the little witch and Frankenstein pieces. The pictures I'm scrapbooking aren't actually from Halloween. My boyfriend Dale and I visited a really cool store in St Charles, MO that had Halloween decorations all over. We had to snap a few pictures. The store seemed to keep going and going. There were so many rooms, twists, and turns filled with all kinds of interesting items for sale.

I Can Be Scary Too! | Shimmerz Paintz October Color Kitz | Brandy Vaughn

 Hello, friends! I'm back today with another layout using the Shimmerz Paints October Color Kitz.

I am all out of Halloween photos to scrap so I used a photo of my cat and altered it in Adobe Express to make it look like a Halloween photo. Then I chose this cut file from Confessions of a Paper Addict because of the cat.

I cut the cut file out of black cardstock and misted on some Spritz-A Chance of Rain that I pulled from my stash. Then I misted Vibez-Jack O'Lantern onto some white cardstock and splattered some Inklingz-Sun Kissed on top of that.

I used foam dots to pop up the off-cuts of the fog. Then I grabbed some of the ephemera pieces from the kit and embellished around the cut file and the photo.

Finally, I grabbed some alphas from my stash for the title and finished off the layout with some black glitter drops.

If you would like, you can check out my process in the video below. Remember to add my name to your Shimmerz order for a product!
