HALLOWEEN WREATHS

These are inspired by a class I took this summer (here), loving Halloween as I do it just had to happen!  The goal was to use my Halloween stash and not purchase anything new...until the sales are on!

 A fabulous way to use my Halloween scraps plus lots of Stickles, Distress Inks, Co`Ordinations card stock, a few felt leaves from a Thanksgiving garland and a ghostly punch.

Here I used the Tim Holtz Halloween Kraft paper pad, inked with green, orange and yellow Distress Inks for the wreath.  Embellished with images from ``Happy Haunting`` by Graphic 45. The rolled flower centers are cut with a Memory Box die.

Another favourite ``Halloween in Wonderland`` from Graphic 45;

Papers from Pink Paislee (I think);

Papers from Authentic;

"BOO, GIRL" A HALLOWEEN SPOOLIE

Time for a Halloween project!  The image is from Retro Cafe Art..do check out Kristen's work!  Bits and bobs from my Halloween stash make the details with lots of glitter! I mounted the spool on a tin mold which I have chalk painted (orange), dark waxed and rubbed for some grubby goodness.

FRENCH COUNTRY - PAPER BAG MINI ALBUM

I haven't lost my "like" for the paper bag album, they are just the perfect place to store small bits and pieces (hankies, notes and letters, postcards, cards of all sorts, recipes, button cards etc.) in addition to photos.  I know the friend this is going to has lots of memories to put into this.

I have trimmed all the edges with a green/orangey gold trim that did come from a Paris flea market (wishing that was me shopping), I think it gives just the right age and look to the whole.  I have used quite a bit of Glossy Accent Crackle throughout instead of any glitter.  Just the feeling I had about how it should look. The flower centers on the cover are a Memory Box die "Scalloped Posie".  A bit more vintage edging on the ends, a few old stamps, buttons, some twine, ribbons and other G45 embellishments complete this project. Oh,  I couldn't do French Country and not add a bit of Van Gogh :)
