trick or treat layout with pixie frames | and a doodlebug giveaway…

Good Morning friends!  I’m taking over the Doodlebug Blog this morning, sharing a fun way to use the new “pixies” on a Halloween layout featuring product from the new “Halloween Parade” collection!

Wait…before I go on – just in case you aren’t familiar with this fun new product – here’s exactly what I’m talking about when I say “pixies” – they are kind of like little plastic straws in fun Doodlebug colors:

They also come in sets with banners/flag toppers to coordinate with the new collections – I just love the Halloween Parade set:

I decided to cut the pixies in half and use the pieces to create frames.  They aren’t exactly perfect, but I think that it adds to the whimsical feeling that Halloween should exude!

I printed out photos (2 1/2” square) from last Halloween and used the pixies to frame them.

I also framed some patterned paper (from the 6x6 pad) and added fun stickers, tags, and other embellishments.

Of course I couldn’t resist using the fun and colorful star jewels, washi tape, and doodle twine too!
