Halloween Prep Layout for Lasting Memories #722

I'm on a scrappy roll, with two layouts completed in two days, so here is my latest, featuring the new Lasting Memories challenge. Brandi Jo is challenging us to be inspired by Autumn this month, so the first challenge is to be inspired by pumpkins - create a layout using at least 50% orange, and include a round element. I think I have more than 50% orange here, and the round elements are the sub-title letters and the circle behind the top pumpkin sticker. This was a fun and relatively easy challenge to complete, so hopefully you are now inspired to hop over to Lasting Memories and play along!

Welcome to Hogwarts Layout

My second Universal Studios layout features a few photos from the Wizard World of Harry Potter. I played along with the Scrap Our Stash Tic Tac Toe challenge to create this layout, starting with a sketch from Page Maps and adding several die-cuts and 3 photos. I also did lots of stamping and some fussy cutting to get just the look I wanted for the embellishments. Hope you all like it!
