Hello everyone :-) Want to share this hounted mini album with you. It is a spooky Halloween album. Made it so it would be inspiring and fun for children to put in pictures.
I used the Happy Haunting Collection 12x12 and 8x8, stickers, chipboard die cuts and metal hinges. All from Graphic45.
Also used sizzix, Tim Holtz and QuicKutz dies. Martha Stewart punches and multi matte form Claudine Helmuth.

Did a lot of mixed media and used glossy accent, crackle assent and embossing powder on most of the images.

Had so much fun making this project :-)
