My Creative Time "Scrappy Monday"

I hope you all had a great weekend! Well today is "Scrappy Monday" over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team! This week were asked to do a Halloween layout. I am so excited because I did my son's first Halloween layout last week and this week is just the beginning of his second Halloween. Well let me say I did not get good pictures of him in his costume ~ I think it had to do with the fact he was walking and NEVER stood still! But that is okay because I still cherish the costume and that day!

So the picture I chose to scrap is my son eating something he has NEVER had before at my mother-in-laws house! Since he was just over a year old we started feeding him normal food! Well this picture says it all ~ his little lips are sealed shut! LOL! Since I had my Cricut dusted off and the Gyspy was still in hands reach I decided to use it again! Wow ~ I know right! I decided to use the little pumpkin from Mini Monsters. Even though I hid some features I did cut out all the features. I was hoping that my picture would fit inside the mouth of this CUTE little pumpkin but it didn't. Never worry I just cut out another pumpkin and gave it to my son so he can play with it! Nothing goes to waste in this house! He likes mom's mistakes!

So I decided to use some new and old My Creative Time stamps and dies. I pulled out the "All Around Halloween" stamp set. It had the PERFECT little sentiments. I have wanted to use the CUTE little ghost from"Anyday Bingo & Crossword" forever! So I put him on the little stitched circle die from the "Build A Banner Kit" and placed it on the "Scallop & Stitched Circle" dies! Of course I couldn't help but use the new Halloween stamps from "Treats For My Sweet".  I added some glossy accents to my little candy ~ sort of hard to tell! I used the "Card Sentiments" die and sentiment. I have to admit I TOTALLY forgot to not attach this so I can journal on it! But that is okay my next layout will have a ton of pictures and tags to journal this day! Last but not least I had to use Liz's Paper Loft Boutique jute for my little bow! All my paper is a mixture of Stampin Up, Paper Trey Ink and K & Company.

 

You may have noticed my little layout out holder. Well my sweet friend and fellow design team sister Shar is selling these in her Etsy shop! Click here to check it out! They hold up to 12 x 12 layouts. I have to say not only is this wonderful to take pictures of you layouts but it is a FABULOUS display too! My son is TOTALLY enjoying this too because I will leave this LO hanging on here until I do my next one. I totally love it because he asks questions about the picture and why, where and what we were doing!

I have to say Emma's stamps are just PERFECT for layouts! I seem to go crazy with them but everything just seems to fit what I want to say! So head on over to Emma's blog and see what the super talented ladies have in store for you today! We truly hope this helps everyone back into doing their scrapbooks again!

Have a GREAT day!
