My G45 Happy Haunting Album Pics

I LOVE HALlOWEEN so when I got a good look at the Graphic 45 Happy Haunting paper line I knew we were going to be spending some time together. I made this album using a cereal box, a lot of black cardstock and the G45 Happy Haunting paper. I did a bit of fussy cutting for several of the images and made many of the embellishments myself.


The 'Man on the Moon' on the front is magnetic and attaches to the clock face underneath where I have hidden a metal disc to attract the magnet.


 I also made the flowers and the potion bottle. The bottle label was a digital download I purchased on Etsy.


The album front opens to reveal a page layout for photos and journaling.

The top of the box is open and holds 2 cardstock inserts that fold open. Each insert has a photo book in it to hold 6 photos and several tags.

Here are some photos of the first insert.

This is a closeup of the top portion.


This is a closeup of the bottom portion.


Here are photos of the second insert, front, top and bottom portion.

Next week I'll post photos of my Halloween Clock.
Thanks for visiting... Have Fun Creating!!!!!

My G45 Happy Haunting Album Sneak Peek


FROM THIS...


TO THIS...

I'll post photos of the album inserts and close up details this weekend.

Don't Just Stop and Smell the Roses...

My intention when I started this blog was to do a weekly post, but sometimes life has other plans for us. Recently other things took priority and I was really stressed out about not keeping to my self imposed schedule but here's what I realized... it's a 'blog'. It's not life or death. It's suppose to be fun not stressful. We all go about our days, making plans with family and friends, running errands that seem to never end, planning projects, dealing with the day to day chores and dramas that eat up all the hours in our days and taking care of the little and big things that come with being an adult. I think we all get a little lost sometimes in the details and forget to really take the time to be in the moment, to breath in and out and realize this is your life that your rushing through, don't be in such a hurry to get to the end. So with that said my new motto is "Don't just stop and smell the roses. Plant them, water them and make a bouquet when they bloom."
