This month, I've simply created a scrapbook page, featuring the great papers in The Homestead Collection and my Halloween pumpkin carving photos:)
The Homestead color scheme is ideal for Halloween photos.
I used a grid ruler to help tear photo mattes to feature the 5x7" photo. It's my "controlled tearing" technique.
Use several layers of coordinating torn papers to add interest.
Wishing you a creative day, and Happy Halloween!
Kay
I absolutely love your attention to detail. And those pictures! WOW! Awesome page
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy, I'm glad my daughter doesn't mind standing by the lite pumpkin for awhile while I try to get her to show up in the lamination of the pumpkin, heheee, they are patient with me thankfully.
DeleteAs always Kay, you are a true inspiration. Absolutely love what you are doing with the kit.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layout, Kay! Your carved pumpkins are impressive, since I'm lucky if I put even one pumpkin on my front porch, not carved! One of these years I'll try to set the stage for some great Halloween photos. You always inspire!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to carve one for you sometime when you are home for Halloween nite! I do a couple gift carvings almost every year!
DeleteThank you again Tricia!
Nice page, gorgeous pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteThe torn photo mattes idea is brilliant Kay. LOVE that look. Thanks for sharing and fantastic pumpkin carvings!!
ReplyDeleteThose pumpkins are VERY impressive. Do they keep well even though you did them well before Halloween or are those from previous years? Controlled tearing...cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet! These are last year's pumpkins, they don't keep too long after carving, and sometimes the squirrels or chipmunks start eating them on my steps heheee, but they are usually o.k. long enough for us, it does help them look better longer if you splash water on the carved areas every day or submerge them in water etc...
DeleteYea, I know.. controlled tearing haha! almost as effective as the controlled random acrylic paint splattering technique I did during the Altered Accordion retreat class awhile back. It's so nice people put up with me here!!!
Thanks again!
Wow love the pumpkins and just in time for Halloween. Love your layout!
ReplyDeleteWonderful page! Pumpkins are so nicely photographed -- they're great!

ReplyDeleteYour talents are many, my friend! I love the "controlled tearing" tip . . . will definitely be copying you on that one!

ReplyDeleteKay - great page, but seriously - those pumpkin carvings are amazing! Wow!
ReplyDeleteLove the border mats, and thanks for reminding us how great they look when torn!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lay-out - the colors are perfect for your Jack-O-Lantern photos. I LOVE the owl - my soon to be DIL would go bonkers over it. My fav. photo is the one with the Halloween carved into the face...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layout. I might have to re-create it with the digital kit and some pumpkin photos I have! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWonderful layout, I think the background paper with the wheels add really interesting subtle line which make the carvings show up even more! Excellant pictures too!
ReplyDeleteWow! These photos really make these papers pop! Love your photography and the pumpkins!
