The Studio - April 18th

I actually didn't do this layout with The Studio challenge in mind, but could've sworn I'd seen a challenge recently which involved scrapping an event that had no photos.

I went ahead and made the layout on Monday. This afternoon I suddenly realised that I hadn't updated the new link to The Studio blog, so it wasn't coming through correctly on my feeds reader. That's when I realised where I'd seen the challenge before... luckily the deadline has been extended to May 9th, so I'm not too late to enter this.



I've used a bit of Halloween paper, as well as cutting up and distressing the paper bags from the gift shop. Then I included the tickets from the performance and a little tag that I cut up that was attached to the bag I bought. The background is red-spattered (but that might not show up well in the picture)which echoes the blood-spattered set.

Funnily enough, the three Witches were wearing distressed versions of the aprons that the Globe staff wear. It has the same logo on that you can see on the distressed paper bags on my layout. Well, I was amused by them.

I've never done so much journalling before I can see how wonky my handwriting is!

Also using this as my May inter-team mojo challenge entry - reusing and recycling. Plenty of that here!

I had a sudden craving last week to make some Halloweeny layouts!

The papers on this are mostly the ones that I brought back from the shop in Tucson! I've really been stroking them for far too long!

The pumpkin we carved last year - spooky!

Spooky Halloween

Well, it's Halloween again! After I finished off my Balloony layout I decided it was time I finally scrapped the other couple of balloons that I had taken deliberate pictures of - the Witch and the Pumpkin - and if I was going to scrap them then I had to cut into some more of the Halloween papers that I bought in Tuscon.

This one is mainly made from Cosmo Cricket's Nevermore. I used scraps of it to make myself some matching bats. The skeletons and pumpkins are cut from Creative Imaginations Spooky Borders. The alphas are Doodlebug that I've coloured in to match.

Same as before, but this paper is Macabre. I originally tried putting Nevermore bats on Macabre and vice versa, but they looked odd. This way they look more spooky as they are flying against the same paper - well, I think so.
