Halloween 12 x 12 page

[dixiefinn]

I am not a scrapbooker and have had a hostess request a halloween 12 x 12 page for her workshop. Help!! Something simple but WOW because all of her guests are scrapbookers. I really want to showcase our products. Thank you in advance.

Hey Dixie, this might not help for your first hostess--but when all her friends book their own workshops, you could be ready with this idea:

There's a scrapbooking swap open now, with sections for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas--both 12x12 and 6x6 pages. If you signed up for a few sections, you could have great samples and ideas to share!

Here's the one I did last year. I know the stamps are retired, but you could maybe use something else? The WOW factor is the stamping in shimmer paint on the black.

For the title, we cut the letters out of chipboard and then inked them with black craft ink and then embossed them with II. For a workshop, I wouldn't do both elements, but you could do either idea.

Holly that would be a great idea, but I need to practice sBing before I think about a swap.

This is mine from last year. They loved the shimmer paint on the web and use for the owl punch. If you have Out on a Limb from the mini you could put many of those elements on here.

If you want everyone to do something, consider a "Scrapbook Candy" type thing. Have them make a few embelishments to put on their own page. Show how with stamps you can stamp the image several times and make a 3-D embelishment by raising bits of it each time. The Owl punch would be great for this too.

I participated in an 8x8 swap last fall - here's the link to the ones I got back. My favorite was the bottom spread. I'll see if I can find the one I swapped. Love to Stamp & Scrap: Halloween 8 x 8 Swaps

I think Scrapbook Candy is a great idea for a workshop setting - for their hands on they can stamp some of the elements and you can demo the completed page for the hostess.

I received a beautiful swap card from Kris Kilkenny (Paper Fairy) last year that would make great scrap elements - Paper Fairy: It's Spider Week! - I love the Medallion stamped in Black Craft onto Elegant Eggplant cardstock and embossed with Iridescent Ice.

Also, here is a double page spread from Kay Kalthoff that I like the elements

And how about this beautiful and simple Halloween page from Paula:
