A Little Boo-tiful Magic

Oh, my gosh!  That little face never fails to make my heart lurch!  The Hooligans papers are a perfect way to show off how cute Braam was as a little "monster" this past Halloween.  I love how easily it all came together with the use of Magic, one of Close to My Hearts template books.  But the "magic" doesn't stop there.

 With a pull of the tab, you can reveal not only hidden journaling, but another amazing little photo!  Yup, look back up at the layout photo and then again at the close up.  How cool is that?! It's a surprise "treat" with the use of a little Close to my Heart "trick".  
The story behind the costume is told in layout #1 with a little help from hinges and flip-flaps.  If you click on the layout you'll see in greater detail how the photo in the upper right corner can be "flipped" up to reveal my hidden journaling.   Now, I don't usually do three layouts for one event, but there was so much I wanted to capture...and with photos like these, can you really blame me?  Below are two more layouts I created with the Hooligans papers.

Layout #2

Layout #3


Ever found a layout you liked, but you had one too many pictures?  Well, with a little more help from Magic, the problem disappears. With the slide of a button, Layout #3 opens the door to a third photo. Now that's a slight of hand anyone can appreciate!  Once you master this simple trick you'll want to do it on every page.  The other trick I used to throw this page together was the use of Hooligans My Stickease Assortment and a little Liquid Glass by CTMH.  Just a few dabs on the eyes of the "monster" stickers and I have accents that really "pops".

You too can add a little "surprise" to your layouts with the how-to book Magic. Click here to order these items and other wonderful products from my website 24/7.
