10/08/18 - "Use Your Stuff" Challenge #333

My first DT Project for the "Use Your Stuff" blog!

The theme this week is: "Autumn/Halloween"...

   pretty easy huh?!

The challenge is live now...

     so stop on by and play along!

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::

04/11/18 - St Pattys / Christmas in January

2 different types of layouts

2 different years

2 different holidays

 

Both created this month:

 

 

12x12 Pocket Page w/ (1) digital PL card printed from the PL App: "So Much Fun"

 

"California Irish Festival"

(click to enlarge and read journaling)

 

I've gotten into pocket pages this year and I'm really loving them!
I also am learning new techniques as I get used to the format and I'm finding THAT fun.

I'll definitely be sharing more, even going back to my earlier ones... eventually.

Also - I've gotten into stamping...
Most stamps on this page are from Kelley Purkey.
