31 Days of Halloween - Day 22

LeighSBDesigns is hosting the 

31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop 2018!

The blog hop and linky party runs Oct.1st - Oct.31st

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love creating crafty projects this time of year. Once again, I am participating in the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop. I cannot believe this is my sixth year!!! Learn all the details about the Blog Hop HERE. There are wonderful prizes from awesome sponsors if you participate in the hop. 

DAY 22 - Shadows with a hint of Poe

The main image is from a digital collage sheet 523 Spirits and Seance from DIY Design Studio.  The Haunted Mansion ticket (distressed with Oxide Ink) is apart of the Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor paper pack. Background paper is Authentique Nightfall.   

Sentiment is from an Art C stamp set that I have had a while.    

The Raven is from Little B (no longer available)... I have a small stash of them!  Below him is a portion of a page from NEVERMORE, distressed with Tim Holtz Oxide Inks.

For this card the tulle was burnt with a heat gun to krinkle it up.  Love the effect!

I took the Graphic 45 December Challenge!

I have to confess  I am a Graphic 45 addict... I hoard my papers.  I buy the 8x8 pads of every line created, plus 12 x 12 sheets and rarely use them.  I have finally come to the conclusion I am a hoarder of Graphic 45!!!

One of my 2017 New Years resolution is to reduce the amount of "stash" I have accumulated, including my Graphic 45 papers.  That means I have to get busy and create.

I have been in a creative slump and when I saw the Graphic 45 December Challenge I thought this could be the boost I need:

"Join the #G45Album Challenge!

• Create an album using Graphic 45
• Upload your project to our Facebook page using #G45Album
• You can enter multiple times
• One randomly chosen winner will WIN a $75 prize pack
• Deadline: Saturday, December 31
• Winner will be announced in our January 5, 2017 newsletter

We hope you take part in this fun challenge! We cannot wait to see your beautiful albums."

I had all the supplies on hand... I even had a Tag Album in my stash!!!!  Just get me started... I put my project off until the day after Christmas!  That gave just six days to finish my book and post it.

 

I knew I wanted to do a Christmas book.  I had my choice of four different lines of Graphic 45 Christmas papers to choose from!

 

Supplies:

Nutcracker 8x8 Pad

Nutcracker 12x12 "Holiday Magic" (2)

Nutcracker 12x12 "Nutcracker Sweet" (2)

Nutcracker 12x12 Snowflake Waltz"

Petaloo Flowers

Little B - Nutcrackers

Little B - Gingerbread Men

Enamel Dots

Gold Paint Pen

Ribbons - Green  & White

Double sided tape

Glue stick

 

 

For some reason the Nutcracker paper was screaming at me!  CUT ME, CUT ME!!! So cut, trim, tape and glue I did.

 

 

I put the tags in the side pockets.

 

 

On a few of the tags I made pockets to hold journaling and keepsakes.

 

 

The packaging was used to make a wrap for the book. 

I wraps add so much to the book, plus it helps keep everything in tack.

 

Fro the wrap I cut the paper a little smaller than each section as pictured above.

Before adhering the paper to the wrap I cut a length of ribbon for the tie.

 

Then I added embellishments: Little B Nutcracker, Petaloo Flowers and Enamel Dots.  

 

 

The pages were then covered with paper cut to fit. 

 

 

The book was designed so photos could be later.

 

A gold paint pen was used to edge each page.

 

In the pockets are little extras to use when adding photos to the book.

Additional pockets were created with some of the larger images

 from the 12 x 12 sheet of  Holiday Magic.

 



 

Once all the pages were papered I went back and added embellishments.

 

Enjoy pages from the tag book!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by~

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
