Sam created a super simple layout that's easy to customize depending on the paper chosen. Last October, Sam’s son had a school project where he had to paint a pumpkin for a local business as part of a marketing plan. Sam leaned into the pumpkin theme by using both the stickers from the included kit and those from the upgraded embellishment kit.

For the base, Sam selected the vibrant orange diamond paper. Then, a 12" x 6" piece of cobweb paper was layered on top, followed by a 12" x 5 1/4" orange and black dot paper. The photo of the pumpkin was placed over this backdrop, along with a journaling tag to capture the story. Sam finished the layout by adding lots of fun pumpkin-themed sticker embellishments, making it both super simple and fun!

Sam's kids might not dress up for Halloween anymore, but the family still has a blast celebrating. Every year, Sam’s sister sends a box of Halloween treats, and Sam always makes a spooky supper to keep the tradition alive. October's kit turned out to be the perfect choice for scrapping these festive photos. For this layout, Sam especially loved the all-over word bubble paper, which added a playful touch. Using only paper and stickers from the base kit, Sam kept the design simple yet impactful, letting the fun Halloween vibes shine through.

Sam wasn’t about to let this kit be used for just Halloween photos! The star-patterned papers were absolutely perfect for scrapping a late-night After Prom event. As an added bonus, some of Sam’s photos had purple and orange lighting, which matched beautifully with the purple papers in the kit. Sam got creative with the sticker sheet too, using only partial stickers—like just the "crew" part of the "boo crew" sticker. It’s a great reminder that these kits can go beyond the holidays, especially with a little creative flair!

Melissa created a nostalgic layout featuring two photos of herself at age 12, showcasing her love for Raggedy Ann. She backed the photos with diagonal striped paper and a purple print, cleverly highlighting both the stripes in her shirt and contrasting with the black background. A portion of a free cut file, backed with papers from the kit, frames the second photo, with vellum used behind a pumpkin's face to create a subtle glowing effect. She added stickers and gems from her stash for embellishments, giving the layout a personal touch. Though she didn't use upgrades this time, she plans to for her next project.

Marci dove into her first project with the October kit collection and extras, excited to work with such a fun Halloween-themed set. Using Melissa's September sketch as her guide, she started by cutting five ½-inch black strips to create a bold frame and a "film strip" effect on the page. She bordered this area with a scalloped sticker from the Echo Park collection and added a strip of houses at the bottom from a 12x12 paper sheet. Marci carefully spaced out words within the film strip and embellished the layout with mini bat stickers and her grandsons' names in font letters. She matted the photos with white cardstock, added pumpkin stickers, and finished the page with a festive Halloween banner and twine bows. The final touch was a popped "got candy" sticker with the year tucked beside it.
