Hello friends! I am back with another layout. To be honest, I am not a big Halloween scrapper. I tend to scrapbook photos of my daughter every year but I rarely scrapbook photos of myself. This year I decided to create a layout featuring me and my oh so creative and “scary” suburban mom “costume”.

Yes, I know…lame. 🙂

I had a plan to buy a real costume (superhero to be exact), but life got in the way and I simply forgot. My poor kiddo begged for mommy and daddy to dress up – it just didn’t happen. However, all hope wasn’t lost…I wanted to be a bit festive so I purchased an inexpensive long sleeve Halloween t-shirt and earrings from Walmart and called it good.

This was the best I could do!

For this layout I used an older Scraptastic Kit Club Halloween kit (no longer available). Some of the papers and embellishments are about a year old. I created a layered background behind the photo using scrap paper from the kit. All of the layers are mounted on a pattern background of orange skulls and crossbones. To that, I added my photo, a doily, die cuts, enamel dots/shapes, stickers and washi tape from My Mind’s Eye, Authentique, and Pink Fresh Studio.

To see this layout come together, check out the process video on the Victoria Marie YouTube Channel. Also, if you are interested in learning more on how to create gorgeous layers on your layouts, check out my Layering Like a Boss class now available on the Victoria Marie Online Classroom!

Happy scrappin!
