Yet Another Halloween Mini!

What a crazy couple of days it has been up here in the Northeast! Hopefully, Hurricane Sandy will be making her exit and all our friends are safe and dry!

Today, I have yet another Halloween mini to show you. (I told you that I love Halloween! LOL!) This one is for my mom and has pictures of the kids' costumes since the year my son was born to last year. The mini was cut from several Silhouette files. So fun and easy to put together!

Papers and embellies are a mix of Graphic 45 Happy Haunting and stuff from my stash.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Another Halloween Mini

Happy Friday, good readers! Here's to a wonderful weekend ahead of us!

Today, I am sharing the awesome Halloween mini that I got in a swap from our friend Rhonda over at Scrap Happens. We each had to make two pages and send them in to Rhonda. In return, we each got back an amazing Halloween mini! The pictures really don't do it justice. We can't believe all the work that Rhonda must have put into each one! I have already filled mine with pictures from last Halloween and it is sitting in our living room for all to enjoy. Thanks again, Rhonda, for the fun swap!

Hope everyone has a wicked weekend!!

Halloween Mini Altered Board Book

It's that time of year again!! I LOVE Halloween!! I have ever since I was a little kid. So, when the gals over at Boston Scrap Fanatics decided to do a Halloween mini swap, I was totally in. We each got paired up with another person. I know the person that I got loves vintage things, so I HAD to get the Graphic 45 Happy Haunting 8x8 stack and chipboard embellies for this project, even though I have a TON of Halloween stuff already. Just ask Laurie. We kind of went on a Halloween binge a couple of years ago and split the haul. Hee hee.

I started out with a plain white board book, like this one, but mine has 14 pages including the covers. I did mix in some other papers from my stash with the G45 papers. I tried to put some kind of interactive element on each page. I drew a lot of inspiration from the Halloween mini that I got from our friend Rhonda over at Scrap Happens. I need to take pictures of the album that she sent me, too - it is awesome!

This whole album took me a couple of weeks to complete because I could only work on it here and there. I hope my swap buddy likes it as much as I like creating it!

HALLOWEEN RECIPE SWAP PAGES

 Here are some pages I did for a Halloween 6x6 recipe mini album swap at www.crafthappens.net/
 I used all kinds of stuff from my  stash and a few items I picked up at AC Moore.  All of the recipe cards pull out so some of them are inserted sideways.  The other sides are done as well but I am still working on them so I will post them this week.  This was fun  to do, I will be sending them off soon.

PRICELESS!

Quite a few pieces of DCWV paper.............. $4.00



Nearly a whole package of glue dots............... $3.00



Having my 19 year old son agree with me that playing with paper and glue is fun............. PRICELESS



LOL. Here is my son's halloween mask... a Rubix cube.! He really had fun making it, and was quite impressed at the quality of paper and adhesive.. he LOVED running the glue dots down the side of the box. His words were "hey mom, these things are pretty boss" LOL. It is probably the 1st and last time I'll ever see him near my scrap supplies.. LOL. but it was fun while it lasted!

Halloween Mini Album

Happy Friday!! I just had to show off this awesome mini album that my friend, Carol from Boston Area Scrap Fanatics made for me! The details that she put into it are amazing! She told me that the rat on the cover came from a pair of Halloween earrings that she had. How cool is that? The bat on the cover is made from feathers. The last page has an accordian pull out to fit 6 pictures. I can't wait to fill this up with images of my little goblins!
