Who says Halloween can't be PINK?!

This would be my Lil' Peanut "Miss Kennedy". Cathy (of Cat's Creations Scrapbooks) asked me to make a layout using the new Reminisce "Magical Princess" Collection.

To get my creative flow going I used the first exclusive sketch of 2013 from Sketch Inspiration for Cat's Creations customers.

Who says Halloween can't be PINK?! My daughter had dressed Kennedy as Minnie Mouse complete with a PINK pumpkin! This paper worked beautifully with these pictures! I used black and white card stock to mat the photos and the sticker which also comes with this collection. I put foam tape behind the stick to give it some dimension and what is a PINK girly page without a bit of ribbon?!

You know how most papers these days come with a strip for identifying the company and collection name. Typically scrapbookers just cut that off and throw away. The cool thing about Reminisce' papers is the strip with the bar code is decorative on the other side and can be used in your layout which I did! I used it as a frame around the 4x6 print. Way cool huh?! For a closer look at this layout just click on the picture or come see it in person at the store.

Here is another layout I made with pictures from my daughter's recent baby shower using the new Teresa Collins collection "He Said She Said".  I used the same sketch for the left side of this layout. I took some liberty with it because I had so many pics. I should have made smaller prints....oh well...hide sight! I did not get a pic of both pages together because one layout I couldn't stand up. I'll show you why in a minute. Here's the left side.

Instead of matting the photos with paper I chose to use the coordinating "washi tape" or tissue tape. I number the photos for identification purposes in my journaling.

Here is the coordinating page (right side). Because I had so many photos and I only wanted to do a 2 page layout I decided to use a technique I learned making a card a couple of years ago from Nanci Holtsford. It's called the waterfall technique. To refresh my memory on how to do it I did a search and found this tutorial using the technique on a scrapbook page. Just what I needed! You can see that tutorial here.

Here is a different look at the waterfall technique.

Of course the page will have to be removed from the page protector for this to work. I need to tweak this just a bit as it doesn't operate as smoothly as I would like. Not sure what I may have done incorrectly. Overall I was actually pretty proud of myself!
