This layout was a challenge for me. First, I decided to go with an "odd" color scheme for me - grey, black, and orange. Since we don't celebrate Halloween, it is a color combo I had never done before. But, the colors went well with the photo, so I tried it. And since I had recently sorted a lot of my paper by color, it wasn't too hard to find the orange and black papers.
To make the scallop, I used my Kiwi Lane Design mini scallops (2A and B). It was pretty easy to cut once I had them drawn.
For the bracket, I used KLD Bracket 3. I traced it on to some paper from the garbage to get the full shape lined up, and then I used my actual template as a mask for the ink. I finished it off my stitching around the edge using Twinery Twine (thank Paper Girls for the inspiration).
As for what papers I used, there is some AC baby papers, WP petite papers, NS Dan the Record Man and MLS. The washi is MME Indie Chic, and the title is a mix NS, Authentique, and cut fromt he Silhouette.
And here is the sketch it is based off of from Brenda's
