Frightful Friday Coffin

I love mini albums, don't you? Here is a little mini album tucked away inside a wooden coffin. It is the project I will be teaching tomorrow. I found the little coffins at Michael's back in September. They are just a raw wood so there was a bit of preparation on my part. I used a black craft paint inside and out and then I coated them in a lacquer spray. Those Close To My Heart boxes really come in handy.

I used the Thriller stamp set to decorate the inside and out. On my skeleton I used some black glitter for the heart eye patch and an orange bling for his other eye.

On the cover of the mini tags I chose to use the vampire. I water brushed the pumpkin orange and used some black glitter on the crow.

Each page will hold a small 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch photo. Perfect for capturing a few snap shots from this year's celebration.

Come back next Friday for some more Halloween inspiration.

Scrap Event Display and Last Chance for Thriller!

I had lots of goodies displayed on my table at last Saturdays scrap event and card exchange. My theme was mostly fall and Halloween showcasing new items from the Autumn/Winter Idea Book. I had new papers, stamps, embellishments and upcoming projects. I will show up close pics of some of these goodies, but first I want to show items created from this months special stamp called Thriller! Tomorrow is the last day you can order it!

Here is a close up of the stamp and 2 projects that I will be teaching in October.

Back to Basics Club will be creating these cool pages. I have used the green, purple and black again with the skeleton stamp just as I did with my candles posted earlier for the Halloween Hop! The pages remind me of a kind of vintage, nostalgic Halloween. The layout of these pages also comes from the new Magic book. Plenty of room for one large photo on the left and 3~6 smaller photo's on the right side.

I will also be teaching this skeleton coffin project. Made from wood this coffin opens up to reveal space for a mini tag book. This time I used the traditional Halloween colors with some sparkle and bling.

Come back soon as I will show more of the projects on my table. Prepare for some Hooligans!
