"these friends are the best"
Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I’m back with my second inspiration for October, a Halloween layout featuring the cousins together last year. This photo makes me smile with their little pumpkins and mischievous expressions!

"these friends are the best"


The chipboard used:


I worked on a white background with “Black Soot” and “Twilight” inks from 49 and Market. The gray and purple shades work beautifully with the black elements and touches of orange throughout the layout.

I had a few bats left from the “11" Halloween Frame” that I used on a previous layout. I scattered them around the photo and colored them with “Black Soot” Distress Oxide ink. Their silhouettes stand out against the light background and extend the Halloween theme across the page.


The title “these friends are the best” is a lovely match for this happy group of cousins. I embossed it with Lindy’s Gang “Jack a’Lantern Orange” embossing powder. The color echoes the pumpkins in the photo and the orange paper layered underneath.


The webs from the “Halloween Spider Web Set,” also colored with “Black Soot” Distress Oxide ink, sit at the top of the page and beneath the photo. I love their delicate design, which allows the background details to show through. A few paper embellishments, pumpkins, and a little banner complete the layout. Such a lovely family memory to capture with a playful Halloween theme!


Now is the perfect time to gather some Halloween inspiration and start creating your own layouts!

Thank you for stopping by. 
See you soon with another creation!

These Friends Are the Best - Laura Gilhuly

Hi everyone!
Laura back to share my next layout!!!



 

2Crafty Products used:


6" Squiggly Adornment Set
Mini Lattice Bits
Marianne's Butterflies
These Friends are the Best




My friends have bright and fun personalities and I wanted to celebrate that with this layout.  I love the colours of this paper line mixed with the black the colours really pop.  Following this color combo I used it on the chipboard.  


I used black ink on the adornment piece and the mini lattice bits.



The pretty butterfly and the title piece I used a pink metallic paint to add a little shine.  I layered the title over the adornment piece for a bit of visual drama
