Use Your Stuff Blog

Here's what I was inspired to create, going more in the "Halloween" direction:

"Halloween Horror Nights"

A Pocket Page of my husband and daughter at Universal Studios Hollywood Horror Nights, last month.

Journaling:
"David and Madison went to Universal Horror Nights. I stayed home because I don't like being scared! They had a blast! Their favorite part was the 'Poltergeist' Maze.
...
"It was Madison's 1st time so we splurged for front of the line passes"
-Sept 21, 2018

I had a lot of fun mixing up different types of embellishments, including actual ephemera from that night: the yellow wrist band and the title, which was cut out of the brochure.
I was going for a collage effect w/ my Title pocket.
Besides the ephemera, I added this to the Title card:

• a piece of washi
• a button
• a chipboard sticker
• a (date) stamp
• alphas
• a "day-of-the-week" post-it / came from a pack I bought at the $1 spot at Target
• a see-thru/orange self-adhesive enamel circle
• and a furry 3-D self-adhesive spider embellishment.

I added 2 more of those enamel circles and spiders to the lower half of my layout to create a visual triangle.
Most of the items on this layout have been in my stash for many years...but the winner of the "Oldest Item Award" goes to that polka-dot PP;  it's older than my (16-year-old) daughter!!

I absolutely love this page!
And the seal of approval came from my husband in the form of this comment: "Very Festive!"
LOL
I don't have a lot of Halloween-type embellishments or papers so it was a huge compliment, even though he didn't know it! ::wink::
