Just Another Manic Monday!

Happy Monday everyone! Mondays on the Pink Paislee blog are called Manic Mondays…that means anything goes! Today, I thought I’d share a non-Halloween layout using the Twilight line. I don’t know about you but I have a weakness for Halloween products…it’s one of my favourite holidays and I love the orange/black colour combo!

I used to fight this attraction because I only scrap one or two Halloween layouts each year but recently I decided it was more fun to embrace my love of Halloween products I’m especially attracted to products that are versatile and the Twilight line fits the bill perfectly! I especially love the Eclipse and Nightfall papers, the polka dots and the lines could really be used for any layout. I also love the B-side of the Twilight Postcards paper, it’s neutral and could be used with just about any colour combo!

I used all three of those papers in my layout below. The Nightfall paper was used as my background…it’s subtle but so much more interesting than plain black cardstock! I cut the Eclipse paper to remove any “Halloween-ey” parts and ended up with a really neutral piece of ledger paper that I used under my picture. Finally, I used the back of the Postcards paper to journal on. The bats worked perfectly with the theme of my layout so keep that in mind if you have a child like mine who’s just crazy about Batman

Finally, did you notice the lines of black dots? That’s a stamp from the Twilight set and it’s my new favourite stamp! So easy to use, so versatile! After I finished my layout, I noticed a couple of bare areas that could really use some spicing up…I ended up stamping a long line of dots to the left of my journaling and a few short lines under the picture and this made the layout so much better!

That’s all I  have to share for today! I hope I helped you look at these awesome papers in a different light
