Hello everyone! Are you all excited for Halloween!? I know I am. I can’t believe it’s just right around the corner. All the decorations, lights, treats, and movies have me so excited. With it being our first Halloween in our new home, I couldn’t wait to decorate and get our house ready for Halloween!
I was thrilled when I found out our assignment would be to create Halloween décor. Honestly, I planned to create some décor crafts either way to get our house into the Halloween spirit. So, this assignment was just perfect!
As I began brainstorming, I really felt a tug at my creative heart to make some layouts using the Hey Pumpkin collection. However, I wanted to incorporate a twist. Instead of making full size photo-based layouts, I decided to create smaller phrase-based layouts! This way, they would be more like décor signs to display around the house to spruce up the Halloween vibe.
To do this, I chose two patterned papers for each sign – so four patterned papers total. Of course, I used the Crate Paper Hey Pumpkin collection because there’s not a more perfect scrapbook collection to use for all your Halloween crafts! I trimmed the papers down to 8x8 inches and 8.5x8.5 inches. I mounted the smaller paper on top of the larger paper using adhesive tape.
Then I started my embellishing! Which of course, as you all probably know by now, is my absolute favorite part of any scrapbook project. I picked phrases from one of the cut apart sheets to highlight on each mini layout.
I added a lot of chipboard pieces and layering to create dimension on each mini layout. They were so easy, but such a blast to create. Once each was complete, I stood them up on mini wooden easels I got from Michael’s. This way, they would stand upright, making it super easy to display them anywhere in the house.
This was such a simple, yet creative way to add that Halloween flair around the home. And the best part is that you can create as many as you want in various sizes! There are lots of fun ways to get creative with this layout décor concept, so I hope you feel inspired to create your own Halloween décor!
