Hi Everyone…or should I say, “Happy Halloween!” It’s Kelly here to share a layout. Do you have you have your costumes ready and spooky dΓ©cor around the house?Β I know I have some cobwebs here and there!Β ha ha ha Here isΒ a Halloween layout I designed using Simple Stories’ fun “Frankie and Friends” collection, along with someΒ awesome SizzixΒ dies.
