The Luminarte Silk Paints are one of my new favorite items - and this Pumpkin Spice was the PERFECT orange color for my Halloween layout (Figure 1). Check out the title - it started out as raw chipboard, but with one coat of this beautiful silk paint... gorgeous! I used that same paint on my tag that I layered under the Trick or Treat canvas tag that I found in my stash. In addition, I added my journaling on white cardstock that I decorated with washi tape down the side to give it a little pizzazz. Then I tied a small bit of black & white twine around the tag to complete this section.

One final touch that I added once my layout was complete were these two googly eyes to the center of the Os in SPOOK (Figure 2). TOO FUN!

My collection of pictures were from three different events around Halloween 2012: 1) creating the haunted house, the pumpkin carving, and the shrunken apple heads; 2) the magician act at our apartment complex and how he kept picking on my two girls and their wigs!; 3) the Halloween party we attended at one of our friends' homes. I blocked the pictures in the middle of my accents to help unify the different events. I added one of my Reminisce papers with the green background and adorable spiders down the side of my right page... I liked the look of the spiders but I only wanted it as an accent - and to make them even cuter - my friend, Jen, suggested I added some glossy accent to each of them! She was right!!! I used my exacto knife around a few of the swirls to give the page an added dimension (Figure 3). All in all it turned out fairly well - what a fun group of memories to collect.
