Creepin it real 12x12 layout | Clique Kits

Good morning everyone!! Today I'm sharing with you my first layout for the Clique Kits design team! Today I am using the Fall Stories kit. This kit has so much in it, but I decided to challenge myself and pull the one sheet of paper by Simple Stories in the kit that has all the cute little halloween stuff on it and see what I could make from that, adding other pieces in from the kit as well.

I started with a white background, but as you can see, I changed that. Color backgrounds aren’t something that I normally do, but I'm really starting to like it. I cut the Boo Crew 3x4 elements paper apart, did some fussy cutting of those and then started layering behind my photo. I pulled out other papers from the kit that complemented the Boo Crew paper, did a little fussy cutting and pulled a few things from the embellishments and started to tuck things in here and there.

When I put my photo cluster on my background, it looked to plain, so I went through the kit and grabbed the yellow/orange cardstock and tried my cluster on top of it and I liked it. I wanted something else too, so I grabbed a cut file I made and played with it behind my photo. I found where I liked it, but it needed something else. So, I decided to dry brush some black paint where I was going to put the cut file.

I put my cut file back and really liked how it looked, but of course I wanted a little more texture, so I ran it through my sewing machine with black thread. I added a little bit of messy stitching to the left of where my photo cluster was going to go as well.

I watered down some of my black paint and added some splatters across my layout, popped up my photo cluster on some 3D adhesive and placed it down where I wanted it. I tucked in some of the pumpkins I fussy cut, with little messy thread bundles behind them. I pulled some alphas from my stash and added my title and was done. This layout took me about 35 minutes, and I was pretty happy with the outcome. I hope I have inspired you to scrap and make sure you check out the kits over at the Clique Kits Shop, you wont want to miss any of them!
