Witch Booklet


HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!
Here is a little "witch" booklet that I made using a product from Seneca Pond Crafts as the base.

Each of the letters is raised using brown Fun Foam. This gives a good solid foundation without warping or sagging that you sometimes have when just using foam dots or squares.

The ribbon has been heat distressed for a more vintage look.

I used stamping and  copies of vintage images throughout the book.


Some of the pages I covered with printed papers before embellishing with images and trinkets.

The last 2-page spread with fun images from several different sources.

I am entering this into the Try it on Tuesdays challenge Halloween. BTW, they have posted a design team call if you are interested.

Halloween Matchbox Swap


I joined my first matchbox swap hosted by the lovely queen of swaps Vintage Dragonfly.  Here are the cool things sent to me from Michele aka askaboutantiques.
Caution: Lots of pictures ahead!

 She transformed the lowly matchbox into a really cute haunted mansion.

 The bottom pulls out to reveal a stash of goodies.

 She cleverly labeled each treasure with a letter that when put together spells out the word Halloween.

 In addition to the goodies in the matchbox she included an accordion book, some earrings and a fun witch's broom.

 And this spooky little banner.

 One (out of many) things that I love is this personalized label for me to use on a bottle for my apothecary. Cool isn't it?  
Thanks, Michele. I love each and every piece of Halloween fun.

This is what I sent Michele.  

 In case you missed this in an earlier post, this is the matchbox that I altered.

 Inside the matchbox  I put these goodies.

 Everything ready to be boxed and sent.

Inside the sheer Halloween bag in the picture above was a Kumihimo bracelet that I made out of leather and silky ribbons. Inside the stamped muslin bag was the witchy picture seen in a previous post. The other item is a book of witchy pictures and fun Halloween images.

If you stuck it through to the end of this post....thank you and join a swap...they're fun!
