Each kit comes with an amazingly inspirational sketch by Charlotte (Suepup), and here is this month's sketch:
Oh is that not a yummy sketch!!!!
If you would like to check out how I built this layout from start to finish, as well as see some of the techniques that I used broken down, then check out my Pandora's Box Video on the Scraps Of Darkness Website!!
This next project is a Halloween Mini Album that I created using this month's Creativity Kit, along with some Kit and Add On pieces. This month's kit is a FABulous way to take your scrapping off the page and get super creative!!!
Scraps Of Darkness October Creativity Kit
I loved that the album had a canvas cover and some canvas pages, that were perfect for coloring up with the Gelatos in the Creativity Kit and the Dylussions mists that were in this month's Color Add On.
The Graphic 45 Papers were perfect for fussy cutting out, and this page features a pull out tag made from the G45 Chipboard pieces in the C. K.
Are those little sunflowers not sweet? They were a gift my my Scraps Of Darkness Sister Michelle Phillips (Bubbachooka). Thank you Mish!
I created a little journaling spot using one of the Carta Bella Stickers.
I love layers, dimension and texture and this Creativity Kit was perfect for it!!
Another Journaling spot.
That's a wrap on the mini album!!
This month Melinda Kelly, the owner of Scraps of Darkness is hosting a "Bring On The Darkness" challenge. Anyone who knows Mel, knows that she loves Halloween and she just can't resist doing lots of fun stuff surrounding her fav holiday!!!
Bring On The Darkness Challenge
Create something DARK! It can be a layout, an altered item, whatever you want.
It must be "dark". What you consider that to be is up to your interpretation, and what you are comfortable with.
It must be "dark". What you consider that to be is up to your interpretation, and what you are comfortable with.
Keep it R rated or less.
Post it in the Scraps Of Darkness gallery and in the Challenge Forum thread.

Use at least 50% Scraps of Darkness or Scraps of Elegance products on your project.

The winner will receive the November Main Kit for free (not including shipping or taxes, if applicable - just the kit )
