Spooktacular Disney

Today is Pinterest Monday on the Scraptastic blog and another design team member and myself are sharing projects inspired on this adorable seasonal pin: (sorry we couldn't find the original source for it)

The first thing I did was create a color palette based on the image (via Pictaculous):

I then pulled the items from my Thriller kit and add-on that were close to the palette. Before I tell you more about it, here's the resulting page:

I might have invented a new technique while trying to "dirty" my background like in the original piece! I emptied the content of our household pencil sharpener on the card stock and then rubbed it with my fist until I got the desired look. Pretty close, right?

So I was inspired by the colors, by the background but also by the cute "critters" and even the spiderwebs in the corner (i used the Thriller stamp set for mine):

Now, about the Disney photos: they're not mine. Their owner is Louise from the UK who answered the photo call I launched last month. It was really fun for me to make this page for her. I will be sending it in the mail to her as well as a few treats, since it is almost Halloween ;) Thank you Louise for being willing to play along! I really enjoyed it and hope to do it again some other time.

Last note: the design of the page was inspired by this sketch from Pagemaps.

Thank you for stopping by! I have more Halloween projects to share during the rest of this week... so make sure to come back, OK? :)
