Give us a Fright by Nina

 Hello Ai friends, Nina here with a new Scrapbook layout for our current "Give us a Fright" challenge. I am using multiple sets for this project, Ghoul Friend Set, Front Porch Halloween and MB Halloween.

 

I stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and Mini Misti.

I then colored them with Copic Markers that are Halloween colors.

I cut the images and attached them to a black background.

I used my white gel pen to draw a lot of webs between the images and around the edges then decorated with enamel dots and star stickers.

Halloweenish Fall Scrapbook Layout by Nina

 Hello Ai fans, Nina here with a new Fall Halloweenish project :) so I am creating this layout using the Autumn Owl Cubbies Stamp and Die Set.

I originally wanted to create a Fall themed layout with a little scary Halloween accent. Let me show you what I mean.

So I stamped my images using my Mini Misti and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copics.

Copic Shades:

Yellowish Pumpkin: YR68 YR04 YR38 YR17

Orange Pumpkin: YR09 YR68 Y38

Beige Pumpkin: E43 E42 E40

Doors: E99 E25 and door accents: R39 E19 E09

Tree: C9 C6 C4 W10

Greens: YG23 YG01 YG67 YG17

Blues: B06 B04 B02

I then cut all around my pumpkin house and backed it with foam tape.

For the owls I cut a circle around them using my Double stitched Circle Die Set and colored then with green Copics (YG23 YG01) and yellow (Y08 Y06). I attached these circles to slightly bigger black circles to make stand against the background.

I used a yellow paper for the background and attached a strip for the ground then attached my pumpkin house on top along with the circles of the owls.

I then attached the whole panel to a shocking pink color scrap of paper and embellished with enamel dots and star stickers of matching colors.

Trick or Treat Mini Scrapbook Layout by Nina

  Hello Ai friends, Nina here with a new mini 6 X 6 scrapbook page. I am creating a page about Halloween using the lovely Ghoul Friends Stamp Set, Front Porch Halloween and MB Halloween Set.

I stamped the adorable images using My Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my Mini Misti and colored them using my Copic Markers.

Copic Shades:

Blue Green: BG32 BG34

Oranges: YR24 Yr27 YR01 YR21 YR07

Reds: R21 R22 R24 R37

Yellow Greens: YG95 YG97

Yellow: Y38

Browns: E43 E42 E17 E15 E13 E11 E25 E27 E29 E99 E59 E37

I then  cut my images and backed them with foam tape, put them aside to start creating my scrapbook layout background.

I cut a piece of Purple Skulls pattern paper into a little bigger than 5.5 X 5.5 Inch and used a Halloween paper collection from my stash.

I cut two strips from same paper collection and stacked them behind each other to give to be my ground of the scene. I attached the girls image on the ground strips and created a table with black papr to put my treat bowls on.

I added my lantrn garland and the spiders. I positioned the spider as if they are trying to reach the candy :) they are so adorable.

I then decorated with stars, enamel dots and couple sentiment stickers and added the whole panel to a star pattern paper background.

I then cute the four squares of the letters forming the word Fall from the same paper collection and backed only two of them with foam tape to give a variety of dimension and attached them towards the top of my layout.

I die cut multiple leaves from different pattern papers using the Leaf Frame Die Set and glued them behind the girl, the fence, the hillside and the pumpkins. I even places some around the word blocks.

I finish off with couple heart stickers and enamel dots then placed my whole panel on a light teal background.

  

Fall Mini Scrapbook Layout Page by Nina

 Hello Ai friends, Nina here with a new mini 6 X 6 scrapbook page. I was creating a project for our current "fall for Fall" Challenge so I thought bringing these two front & back sets together would look so cute.

I am using the F&B Sitting Girl Set and the F&B Boy Set. I am also using the Fall Leaf Frame Die Set and the cute pumpkins from the Front Porch Harvest Set as well as the Journal Fence Dies Set.

I stamped the adorable images using My Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my Mini Misti and colored them using my Copic Markers.

Copic Shades:

Blue Green: BG32 BG34

Oranges: YR24 Yr27 YR01 YR21 YR07

Reds: R21 R22 R24 R37

Yellow Greens: YG95 YG97

Yellow: Y38

Browns: E43 E42 E17 E15 E13 E11 E25 E27 E29 E99 E59 E37

I then die cut my images, put them aside to start creating my scrapbook layout background.

I cut a piece of Checkered Pink pattern paper into a little bigger than 5.5 X 5.5 Inch and used a Fall paper collection from my stash.

I cut two hillsides and stacked them behind each other to give to be my ground of the scene. I backed the boy, girl and pumpkins with foam tape and made them stand on the hillside. I made the girl sit on a fence that I die cut using one of the dies from the Journal Fence Die Set from different blues horizontally near the bottom of the page.

I then cute the four squares of the letters forming the word Fall from the same paper collection and backed only two of them with foam tape to give a variety of dimension and attached them towards the top of my layout.

I die cut multiple leaves from different pattern papers using the Leaf Frame Die Set and glued them behind the girl, the fence, the hillside and the pumpkins. I even places some around the word blocks.

I finish off with couple heart stickers and enamel dots then placed my whole panel on a light teal background.
