Halloween Memories 6 page Scrapbooking Workshop with a Twist ...

I used Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop for our 2023 Halloween photos.  Yes, this was October 31, 2023! 

1st two-page layout: Changes I made from the original layout instructions are different sized photos so I never cut the photo mats from the original instructions on any workshop I make.

#1 - two-page layout below.  I created these as the directions indicated although I did use my Silhouette Cameo for the title, faux stitching, journaling and webs.  I purchased the Workshop items individually so did not have the stickers.  I also decided concerning the faux stitching that I would do that closer to the edge than directly around the centerpiece as the original instructions indicated.

* Base:12" x 12" White Willow x 2

* Centerpiece 9" x 9" x 2

* Small "pennant" pieces are 1-½" x 3" (cut 3 left page)

* Small "pennant" pieces are ½" x 2-½" (cut 2 right page)

* Cut photo mats to size needed for your photos & journal to the size you need.

I also did a little inking on the edges of journal (date) and the photo tags with Pumpkin Pie Classic Stampin' Pad.

*Embellishment of choice

#2 - two-page layout below.  Again, following the Workshop directions per measurement of key pieces but used my Silhouette Cameo for the die cuts and all journaling.  The Workshop came with exclusive grid paper which also has a black border around 3 sides of the grid paper pattern.   I didn't have this due to purchasing product individually.  I solved this problem by taking a piece of grid paper on hand and cutting to the instruction measurements.  Therefore, I did not gut black CS to make that black border as the original has.

* Use 12" x 12" White Willow CS and with a ruler draw your grid or just go with it plain x 2

* Left & right pieces are 3" x 12" x 2

* Cut photo mats to size needed for your photos & journal to the size you need.

I also did a little inking on the edges of journaling (date) and the photo tags with Secret Sea Classic Stampin' Pad.

* Embellishments of choice

#3 - two-page layout below.

* Use 12" x 12" diagonal striped Pool Party for left page

* Cut 2nd 12" x 12" piece of diagonal striped Pool party to 6" x 12"

* Cut White Willow 12" x 12" to 6" x 7-½" left page

* Cut Blackk & White strip 7" x 5" left page

* Cut strips for pennants, ½" x 3" twice & ½" x 2-½" once (I used all ½" x 2-½")

* Cut photo mats to size needed for your photos & journal to the size you need.

I also did a little inking on the edges of journaling (date) and the photo tags with Secret Sea Classic Stampin' Pad.

* Embellishments of choice

* I cut my bats 😀 with my Silhouette Cameo as well as Halloween Memories, the faux stitching on right page which includes at the top and the curve on the Pool Party diagonal stripe & all journaling

While it might seem odd that I used a Halloween theme it is for a very good reason.  Halloween day 2023 we woke up to flurries.  As the photo shows in #1 left page, I was crafting in my craft room watching those flurries.  It wasn't long before the snow was falling so much, I couldn't see the house across the street.  Within 2 hours my hubby was out with our snowblower.  And, before the day was done, he used that a couple more times, the beautiful tree in the corner of my front yard and visible to me in my craft room had its branches bent over in half.  Add to that before dinner we had lost power due to icy wires and trees falling on them.

Yes, this was our Halloween for 2023 so it did need to be put in our album with a theme fitting for the day - HALLOWEEN!

As always, I would love to post in my Facebook Group if you create anything with this Scrapbooking Workshop OR the DSP.  Just Contact Me with that link in the right panel of this blog OR email me with the photo and whatever you would like said about your design.  I am still trying to figure out how to allow you to post yourself as a main post.  I read I can do that but not finding the setting and have been told by a FB Guru that it is not possible on a "Page" any longer with Facebook.  I am determined to find a way.

Happy creating,
