Hi everyone! I'm Joanna Bandelin your November 2011 Guest Designer. It has been so much fun being able to play with the Helmar adhesives! A little bit about me..
I'm a scrapbooker, cardmaker, DIYcrafter, blogger, personal chef to my family, mommy, wife and part-time hairstylist. I love being crafty. It's very relaxing to me and helps relieve stress. I have always been a creative person as long as I can remember, but after my daughter was born it's gone to new levels. I really love learning new things I find from browsing through blogs and galleries. I hope I can inspire you in your creative journey. You can visit me at my blog Scrap-Making.
Today I wanted to share a fun Halloween layout of my daughter, Natalie. This was last year, she was almost one years old. When I make my scrapbook pages I like to use 6×6 paper pads because I feel like I can buy more with my money, so I like to make them stretch. I try to find creative ways to use that size paper and using the Helmar taper runner made it so easy to adhere small pieces of paper!

I really LOVE the Acid Free Glue for scrapbooking too, I used that to add my title.
And the ZapDots are awesome for adding lots of dimension to my page, they are the perfect thickness. I alternated the ZapDots on every other pumpkin for a fun look. I also added a little piece of burlap and the Tape Runner is strong enough to hold it in place! 😉

I hope you like my page and hopefully inspires you to scrap your Halloween photos! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
