this is how we do Halloween *October Scraptastic kit

How do you do Halloween? Plastic pumpkin and kitchy costumes like the 70's, haunted and spooky, or Bright and glittery? We lean toward the sparkly at my house. We have lots of Nightmare before Christmas things, including my Halloween tree and wreath, and we have wonderful treats and cocktails while handing out candy and watching classic halloween shows - not so much scary as fun.

For this layout I used the awesometastic (my son's word) October Blackbird kit, add on kit, and Blackbird Stamp set.  This layout has some Pinspiration that I thought I would share. If you are on Pinterest as often as I am, I know it is sparking more than a few creative ideas and probably too many calorie filled recipes to mention. After typing this I am making pumpkin muffins :) So first I will share the pinned image that inspired me. These are the cutest Halloween cupcake toppers!

 

The orange and black fluffy fringy crepe is fantastic and I totally thought it had that halloween party look. I recreated this look by cutting a couple of layers of fringe and ruffling them under my title and then another layer under my photo block. It's just that bit of texture that I needed.
