#TBT Halloween 1995 a Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style challenge

Good Morning and Happy Friday to you :) I hope you are somewhere where the sun is shining! We are missing the sun here been mostly rain lately and looking forward to seeing the sun.
The title block of the layout came from this fun Project Life sketch over at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style. I fell into the craze of Project Life cards when it first came out thinking I would transition into Project Life scrapbooking, but didn't fall in love with it so now I try to use them in my Scrapbooking, which I do love to do. Finding that these fun sketch challenges help with this and a good way to add a project life card to a layout. So this mid-month sketch:
 Now, on to Sketch #102 - courtesy of Emma!

This is the card I created using this sketch. It come from the Project Life core kit Vintage Travel

 The pre-written part on the card worked out for this particular layout. I found that looking through the cards in this core kit that I need to have them handy cause they can be used for alot of things besides travel so time to use up the stash I have!

The layout I made around this card:

 Used some black cardstock for my background, just a wee bit of my current counterfeit kit (Glitter tape, gold glitter hashtag and a few things from my last counterfeit kit plus some theme paper and those fun black glitter dazzles and this layout is called done. I used the sketch over at Let's Get Sketchy for my inspiration for the overall layout:

and I used the LOAD518 Day 17 prompt for my layout theme: Throwback Thursday. Story: Use an old photo to throwback to an earlier day Technique: Use retro embellishments or old stuff from your stash. Using both the old photo and old stuff from my stash (Halloween stickers I had forever! it seems)

 My journaling

 Close up of the picture of my kids plus the card I created

Adding some fun word stickers too. Adding Gold Heidi shine mist to the layout to give the black a bit of something. There it is in a nut shell :) I look forward to seeing what you create with this fun sketch :)
