My Mom’s Halloween Mini Album

November 14, 2010

Happy Sunday,
Mom and I both ordered the Basic Grey Eerie Collection from Generations Crafting when they had this amazing deal on the entire collection. I posted mine a few weeks ago, but I wanted to share my mom’s mini. She started scrapping a few months ago and is totally hooked. She loves pattern paper. OH MY WORD does she love pattern paper. I think she’s stock piling, she buys such beautiful paper and hates to use it…OK I admit I’m the same way…lol

OK here’s a few pictures of my mom’s mini…

Front Cover:
I love this one…soooo cute:
and here is a double page view:
I think she did a fantastic job. I especially like how she added the fibers around the pages….
Great job mom!

Hi Everyone,
About two weeks ago Generations Crafting had a great deal on the Basic Grey Eerie collection. The kit had everything in it that was available in the Eerie Collection. It was a limited time offer and I’m thrilled I got it. There was enough in the kit to make three or 4 mini’s…I had so much fun working on it last weekend, it was so nice and relaxing to sit and play and mess with stuff…..I’m listing the supplies I used below, but there are so many that I’ll have to link to them at another time (It’s 6:30am and I’m getting ready for work, so time is limited).

Here is a video

supplies: Basic Grey Eerie collection, Prima Flowers, Tim Holtz Alterations Die, UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel), Tulle, Black Silk Ribbon, Binding Rings, Tim Holtz Grunge, Green Silk Ribbon, Celebrations mini sack, Sizzix Retro Fram, Webster pages Pleated Ribbon, Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge, Lindy’s Stamp Gang Halloween Sprays, Prima Halloween Bling, Prima Bling, Scallop Envelope, Spot and Dots Cuttlebus Embossing folder, Tim Holtz Picket Fence on the Edge Die

and a few photos:

Have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend….

After experimenting with different possibilities, I decided to make my creation into a decorative tag.
