Growing up I have to admit Halloween was not my favourite time of year, but after having children that has changed!\u00a0 I love helping them figure out their costumes, carving pumpkins and decorating for Halloween.\u00a0 We usually try to be creative and make our costumes ourselves.\u00a0 Who knew I would actually be sad that I have only one Trick or Treater left in the house now!<\/p>\n

The fall is my favourite time of year for photos as I love the oranges, reds and yellows of the season.\u00a0 So creating Halloween pages is fun for me because I have lots of photos to choose from and Toil & Trouble<\/a> to play design with!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"2016<\/p>\n

Grant is great at playing out his role when he gets in costume!\u00a0 I, of course take advantage of that and have my camera ready.\u00a0 I love the one of him peaking out from behind the shrubs, so I have made this a feature photo on my page by making it larger and adding layers of paper and embellishments to accent it.<\/p>\n

I made my own vellum paper on this page in a couple of places. Let me point those out to you – the first place is the black and white striped paper and I changed the opacity to 50% and the second place is the white vellum under my text box.\u00a0 I like to do this when there is a busy background behind my text.\u00a0 I don’t want my story to get lost on the page so I made a rectangle shape, filled it with white, added a rough edge and changed the opacity to 75% so as to not block out the background completely.\u00a0 My text now shows up nicely on the page.<\/p>\n

\"no<\/p>\n

This is an example of what the text would look like without the vellum paper behind it.\u00a0 It is difficult to read.<\/p>\n

\"vellum\"<\/p>\n

After the vellum was added behind the text it is much clearer to read and doesn’t get lost on the page.<\/p>\n

\"2016<\/p>\n

Oranges and pumpkins are my favourite things about fall!\u00a0 As you can see I have lots of orange and lots of pumpkins on this layout!\u00a0 There is no shortage of either in the Toil & Trouble kit, but there are lots of other beautiful accent colours as well.\u00a0 Turquoise and orange are fantastic together!<\/p>\n

A couple of tips from this layout are my border at the bottom of the page is made from the pumpkin embellishment.\u00a0 I copied and pasted to make it long enough and layered to fit across my page.\u00a0 They are not the same size, I enlarged the embellishment on the right and added shadows to both on the top so it would give depth to my page.<\/p>\n

I blended the top edge of my pumpkin photo into my background paper.\u00a0 I cut a piece of paper to place behind the three photos at the top instead of matting each photo.<\/p>\n

\"2016<\/p>\n

Washi Tape!!!\u00a0 I made digital washi tape and it is so easy!<\/p>\n

\"washi<\/p>\n

Let me explain how to make washi tape digitally:<\/p>\n

Add a piece of paper to your layout, cut a strip of the width you like.\u00a0 Cut both ends of the strip with a ripped edge function.\u00a0 Change the opacity to 50 – 75%.\u00a0 Copy, paste and fill with a variety of papers.\u00a0 I changed the size of some of the tapes, rotated and played with the opacity.\u00a0 I added a light shadow and layered the tapes to get the look I desired.<\/p>\n

Have fun playing!<\/p>\n
