Trick or Treat Scrapbooking Layout | Midnight Haunting

Happy Halloween, everyone!  Heather Leopard is here with a spooktacular Trick or Treat scrapbooking layout today.  My daughter has been wearing her Halloween costume every day since we got it a few weeks ago.  She asked if she could try out the bow and arrow so we headed out to the yard and what do you know? This toy set actually worked.  I grabbed my camera real quick and took a few action shots.  I just loved this one where she looked up at me so I had to scrap it.

Take a look at how the Trick or Treat scrapbooking layout came together

Gather your favorite Midnight Haunting ot combination of Halloween supplies.  I used at least 6 different patterned papers, maybe even more, plus stickers and my electronic die cutting machine.

Make a super-sized Trick or Treat statement using your favorite font, or download one from your cutting machine’s store, like I did.  Design the page in the die cut software to make sure everything fits just right and then you can do one of two things…..1, cut the letters from the background paper or 2, cut each letter from your patterned paper of choice.  I chose option 1.

After choosing option 1, I hand cut papers to add to the back of the page, shifting them around until I felt the patterns were evenly distributed. You can see that I just have them placed under each letter.  I’ll trim them up as I adhere them to the back of the paper.

Make it stand out!

I wanted the words to POP so I traced around each of the letters and what a difference that made!

Since I was doing a Halloween layout about my Archer Girl, I added a fun arrow-like design to the page, where there was a big open gap.  It filled the space perfectly and really tied the photo better to the page.  The arrow I selected had openings in the feather tips so I added a couple of patterns there too.

Add your finishing touches

Next, I added my photo and embellishments, placing a few butterflies and stars scattered here and there.

So, this Halloween, will you ask her for an archery trick or give her a treat?

My favorite of the three Happy Halloween cards is this “Boo!” card.  I layered the Eyes On You pattern paper with the black cardstock.

Hi Pebbles buddies!  It’s Wendy Sue here again, sharing some fun Halloween cards with you!  I just can’t get enough of this year’s amazing Halloween collection, so I’m trying to use up every last bit of it.  I thought I’d put together some pretty Halloween cards for some neighbors.  These cards are quick and easy to whip up in only six steps!  Take a peek, then keep reading to see how easy they are!Six Step Halloween Cards by @WendySue for @PebblesInc. with the "Midnight Haunting" collection

Start with a few simple rectangles.  One for the base, one slightly smaller, then two more that are approximately 3″ x 4″ in size.

Now just stack them up and glue them down!

Create a quick gift for book lovers

Hello Pebbles fans, it’s Monique here today sharing a “quick gift” project using the Midnight Haunting collection. If someone asks me what kind of gift I would like to receive most, I’ll always say a book as I’m a huge book lover! Every free minute I have is either spent scrapping or reading. So it goes without saying that one of my favorite gifts to create is a bookmark! For lovers of thrillers, detectives or mysteries I created this set of three scary bookmarks:

Quick Gift for book lovers by @moniqueliedtke with the #Midnight_Haunting_collection by @PebblesInc #madewithpebbles #pebblesinc #bookmark

It’s so fun to use the Midnight Haunting collection with it’s many (puffy) stickers and die-cuts of owls, ghosts and bats to create scary & spooky bookmarks. Bookmarks can’t be too bulky otherwise they damage your book, but in this collection there are so many embellishments that are just perfect for creating (flat) bookmarks!

Quick Gift for book lovers by @moniqueliedtke with the #Midnight_Haunting_collection by @PebblesInc #madewithpebbles #pebblesinc #bookmark

I started the bookmarks by cutting 3 strips of black cardstock (3″x 8″) and choosing some patterned papers I wanted to use. If you want to create really quick gifts you don’t have to stitch the sides of the patterned papers, but I just have to add sewing to my projects otherwise they don’t feel complete. If you do decide to use your sewing machine make sure you do this before glueing the patterned papers to the cardstock background.

Next I added the embellishments, stitched a bit more and glued the papers to the black cardstock and added a few ribbons.

And here are the bookmarks one by one. I just love the gold accents in this collection, like the gold bat in the photo below, the gold foil vellum in the second photo and the gold Thickers in the third photo:

My daughter, who’s also a huge book lover, already claimed one of the bookmarks and to be honest I would really like to keep one too, but that would mean that I would have only one left to give away …. I suppose I’d better start making more of them as they are really quick to create and I’ve got so many book loving friends!
