Altered Halloween Book

I found the instructions on how to make these books on Pinterest. (or you can find it directly here). I thought it would make a cute Halloween decoration, but I also wanted to make it into a scrapbook so you could actually look through the book. I divided my book into sections for how many pages I wanted in my book. I paper clipped the sections together.I kept the first and last page of each section and tore out the middle pages, then I glued the front and back page of each section together to form one page. This is my end result.

I decided I would try the spiderweb for my cover. I just made the spider web out of hot glue. I used stickers for my letters but they probably weren't thick enough. I would probably use thicker letters because when I highlighted the high spots with the metallic paint, I could not get just the letters to highlight. I had to paint over them and it was kind of hard to see their outline. Overall, I like the book.

Here's a peek at the book with the inside pages.

Here are the inside pages

Halloween Treats

Just thought I would share a couple Halloween goodies I made.

I made these little coffins for the ladies I go visiting teaching to.

Then I made a bigger version of the candy box I have made before. I actually made this for my son to answer for a dance. He put candy in it and said: It would be a "TREAT" to go to girl's choice with you.

Thanks for looking!

Test Tube Halloween Treats

I have been a slacker at keeping up my blog. I made some halloween treats to take visiting teaching, and for my co-workers. I found the tutorial at Split Coast Stampers. I thought they turned out cute!

I will try to do better at updating more frequently. Not sure that anyone even looks at my blog anymore.

But if youre here, thanks! and have a great day!

Carving Pumpkins

For family night tonight we carved pumpkins. This is what the finished product looks like.

And this is how they look all lit up.

Now to figure out what the kids are wearing for Halloween and we are good!

Trick or Treat layout

Yay, more scrappy stuff!
This week at RMH I got to play with the new Pink Paislee Twilight collection. On this layout I used the paper, die cuts, chipboard and cardstock alphabets.
I have tons of old pictures that still need to be scrapped, so it was really nice to get a layout done from a few years ago. I love this collection and plan to make more with it.
Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Treats

Life has been crazy at my house for this past week, but I did manage to make a couple of Halloween gifts using American Crafts products from Rocky Mountain Hobbies.
I found a tutorial to make this acetate box over at SCS.

I also made this cute twist box. I found a template for it and decided to give it a try. Cute huh?

I hope to make more fun stuff with my American Crafts paper...hopefully Ill find some time to sit down and do some more.

Treasures to Scrap upload...SEI

SEI was the sponsor for Treasures to Scrap this month. I was lucky enough to get their halloween papers...Eerie Alley. They are so much fun to use. They have lots of embossed papers in their new collections. I also got an email today saying that these papers are on sale. Everything I used can be found here at SEI.

I found the pattern for these shoes on Ellen Hutsons blog. Fun huh?

Treasures to Scrap is going through a server change so its harder to get into the site while it switches. If you would like to get into the forums go here http://digistore.treasurestoscrap.com/MAINWEBSITEROOT/forums/index.php and to get into the gallery go here http://digistore.treasurestoscrap.com/MAINWEBSITEROOT/Gallery/showgallery.php?cat=522 This is a temporary fix until the site gets all transferred to the new server.

Halloween

I hope you all had a safe, fun halloween. We went to a Trunk-or-Treating at our church. When it ended, our kids hung out with their friends. We had the three youngest and several of their friends at our house. Our oldest went to his friends house. Theres lots of candy at my house now...maybe I can convince them to share with me LOL.

Hope youre having a great day!

Halloween Layout

So heres the other layout I had made the other day. This is my youngest son, Tyler. I love this Scenic Route paper. The font for the lettering is Printing Press (Cricut).
