Spooky layout for Screen 2 Scrap challenge

Hi everyone,

This is my layout for the Screen 2 scrap challenge this month - The challenge is to take inspiration from the poster of the film Psycho!

I couldn't believe it when I read a post from Debi that she was so disappointed that there were so few entries this month!! I thought this was such a great and fun challenge - so all you scrapbookers out there check out this fantastic challenge blog and see what you can come up with.


Now, onto my layout - the photos are from a pub in a small village in Norfolk, on the Broads. I think the story is that Mary Flynn was a reed cutter and her boat caught fire and sank but her body was never found. As you can just about see on the photo her hands are tied and she has an anchor tied to her feet - was she murdered? was she a witch? something we will never know. I thought this was a nice spooky story for the challenge.


The criteria for the challenge was to use a 1 word title cut in half, a spooky house (I have several) and a silhouette of a figure - I didn't do a complete figure but to the right of the picture is a figure drowning (could be Mary) her arms are in the air and her hair is floating on the water (I hope you can work out what bit is what. lol)
Thanks for looking
Jolanda x
