Hey crafty friends! I'm back this month with something that I usually don't ever create but I can say that I had fun creating this layout featuring his sidekick P.L. ! Although this photo was taken a couple of Halloweens back, I've been wanting to create a layout and now I've FINALLY done it!!
I knew when I was picking out design paper and embellishments that I didn't want it too "scary" since this my grandson is still young and because I did want it to reflect the fun time during when the photo was taken as well as of course using the classic Halloween colors. I'm not too sure what brand or company made the design paper I chose since it was given to me at one time but I thought it was perfect for this! Once I had the 12 x 12 paper chosen I distressed it using my Tim Holtz distress tool then added some Tim Holtz Black Soot distress ink along the edges. I wanted a sturdy base so I used a 12 x 12 sheet of cardboard that I had in my stash. I adhered the distressed design paper with Helmar Acid Free Glue . I then used a favorite tool that I use in almost all for my projects, a brayer. I use this so that my liquid glues can have even coverage on any project such as this.
Then, I cut a piece of black corrugated paper, just wanted to have a bit of the design paper underneath be visible. Once that was done, I picked out the base mat for my photo, I used the same fun paper , some orange glitter paper and some orange Bazzill card stock. Used the same Helmar Acid Free Glue for this as well since it is safe for photos. I also used it for the flowers and embellishments.
I do hope that you all like what I created this month! I have another project scheduled later this month so I hope that you will be on the look out for that on as well!!
