Halloween is fast approaching and with that comes a gaggle of inspiration from our Design Team! Up first is a too-cute-to-spook layout made by Ashley Horton (Blog: Ashley Horton | Instagram: @ashleyhorton75 | Pinterest: @ahorton | Twitter: @ashleymh1675)
Supplies: Halloween (340373) - Banner Kit, Halloween (340377) - Doilies, Halloween (340389) - Brads, Halloween (340382) - Brads, Halloween (340378) - Adhesive Layered Embellishments, Halloween (340390) - Buttons, Halloween (340388) - Screenprinted Clothespins, Halloween (366507) - Carrot Twine, Halloween (340023) - Black and Orange Twine, American Crafts (340363) - Washi Tape, Dear Lizzy (370089) - Woodland Thickers, Dear Lizzy (366187) - Cordial Thickers
How to: Layer 9 banner shaped pieces from the Halloween Banner Kit on a white cardstock background. Machine stitch around each of the banner shapes with black thread. Place one of the large spider webs from the banner kit in the center of the layout. Use a paper piercer to punch holes around the shape of the spider web and then back stitch over the shape with the carrot twine. Place the doily spider webs on each of the remaining 8 banners and add a button or brad to the center. Adhere your photo to the center spider web with pop dots to add dimension. Use Thickers above and below the photo for your title. Embellish around your photo with a screenprinted clothespin and adhesive layered embellishments. Finish by adding orange acrylic paint around the edges of your layout.

Fun layout! My son wants to be a scientist this year so I twisted it a bit as a mad scientist. Since I do a car at our Taekwando school's trunk or treat, I'm going as the same, having a "lab" at the car, and making/handing out slime.

I always make a costume for my dog and than I dress in an coordinating one. I am thinking this year might be Captain American and Agent Carter.

My oldest daughter is going to be a black cat, my youngest daughter is going to be Cinderella. My son (he's in the middle) is so excited about Halloween yet terrified about all the scary things that come with the holiday. He suggested that he wanted to be a crow and that I dress up as a dress so he can be perched on my arm. (That's not happening)! So it will probably be down to the wire with him.

My family of five was originally going to dress up as the 5 emotions from the movie "Inside Out"... then the girls saw the costumes at Target and now it's all up in the air. :)

my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter saw her 1st movie at a theater - Inside Out - and she wants to be Disgust from the movie! The best part is hearing her say disgust when we ask what she's going to be for Halloween ;)

so excited about "my" halloween costume this year. Cleopatra! I found the best gold hair chain cap and necklace in a second hand store. The reason "my" is in quotes is because i might be fighting my two daughters for the costume! honestly they both look stunning in the head jewelry - me not so much - but it is still a fun costume!

My daughter is super excited to be a witch. Her grandma is making the costume and she'll match her cousin. It'll be special and cute!
