Halloween Costume Ideas

It's time once again for your weekly dose of SP Color Challenge!!  This week's combo:

I think I've figured out when the color combos most often trip me up...when there's 1 or more pastels in the bunch.  I could've rocked out a layout with Green Galore, Close To Cocoa, and Taken With Teal in a heartbeat!  But then Sam has to go and throw in a pastel and foomph! the creative blinders snap in place. 

Got that cotton-pickin' pastel in there, though!  The Basic Grey paper had a very close Almost Amethyst fade in this patterened paper.  Woohoo!  Leave it to Basic Grey to bail me out!!! 

Of course, couldn't get through a layout without my paint splatters.  Had an epiphany on this one that if you add A LOT of water to the paint, not only does it splatter well and "bigger", but it leaves a cool multi-colored, water stain-looking mark, too. 

I really used to despise when people used staples on their layouts.  I thought it looked cheap.  Now I LOVE it!!  I think they're a cool looking embellie AND they're very useful.  Funny how tastes change.

So, this was my daughter's first snow encounter and I'm surprised we've ever gotten her back into it for all the trauma this snow suit caused.  She HATED it.  Poor thing looked just like the kid in A Christmas Story, her little arms wouldn't lay flat at her sides. 

The journaling tag says, "Observations > Halloween Costume Ideas:  Michelin Man, Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man, Sumo Wrestler."  All NOT good ideas for her!

Details:  Paper - Basic Grey, The Paper Co.; Making Memories paint & clip; Prima ribbon; Zig Milennium pen; Creative Chaos journaling tag.
