Witch’s Brew Layout

Hi, Renee here to share a step-by-step tutorial of a Halloween layout I made using the Boo! collection.  Let’s time travel together back to Halloween 2006.  Caitie was dressed up as the cutest little witch and 1½ years old.  I took her outside for a photoshoot and got some great candid pics of her playing with her cauldron (candy bucket).  I chose my favorite photo of her for a Witch’s Brew layout.

I found this image on Pinterest and used it as inspiration:

Here’s my Witch’s Brew layout:

I started this layout with the magical Spooky pattern paper for my background.  I trimmed off the bottom strip from the Trick-or-Treat pattern paper and adhered it along the bottom of my page.  The photo measures 5″ x 7″.

For my title, I used a Minc Halloween Label Sticker and foiled it in Caitie’s favorite color, Purple. Looks great!

I placed the “Witch’s Brew” title along the bottom strip of my page and added a witch’s hat and feet and an adorable black cat, too.

I cut along the cauldron in the photo and added a few Enamel Dots for a fun witch’s brew.

I matted my photo with the Candy Corn pattern paper.

I used both sides of the Hocus Pocus pattern paper to add layers under my photo.  These paper pieces measure 3.75″ x 6.25″ and 5.75″ x 7″.

I cut the “31” card from the Happy Halloween pattern paper and added it to my layers.

I stamped the date around the “31” card.  This Roller Stamp is still one of my favorite tools.

I added a spider, and a few pumpkins around my page.  I also added cute potion bottle embellishments next to my photo.

Love the Witch’s Brew effect the Enamel Dots give to the cauldron in this photo!

Love this cute little owl!

I love the colors in this Washi Paper Tape and love that I can see the cute text from the Hocus Pocus pattern paper show through it a bit.

Hope you all have a safe and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
