Halloween Layout

i am a huge fan of Halloween. Last year i was lucky enough to spend it in America and go actual trick or treating with my friend Meghann and her daughter Lizzy. So fun! i knew i needed a fairly simple costume as i didn't want to have to pack a load of extra stuff so i decided to be a scarecrow. i picked up the shirt in Target and Meghann had some rafia that was a great substitute for straw. 

Whilst i was in the US i picked up a bunch of scrapbooking goodies including some of the After Dark collection from Crate Paper which i've used here. Because of the blue in my shirt i also used some navy paper from a Maggie Holmes collection. i'm not sure why, but there doesn't seem to have been as many Halloween collections released this year. Just as well as i have plenty in my stash to document a fair few more Halloween's!

i decided the wood veneer stars needed a bit of dressing up so i inked them in black and sprinkled some glass glitter on them. Then used a liquid adhesive to seal it all in. 

i hope if you are celebrating Halloween you have a fun and safe night!
