Let's Go A Haunting!

I love Halloween, it's one of my favorite holidays. Fall comes in colors of red, orange, brown...then BAM, Halloween comes and throws in purple and black and green, making for one of the most awesome color pallets!
Tonight I listed my first Halloween album. I like the horizontal rectangle, it gives great little layouts just the right room. This paper line is called Haunted by Cosmo Cricket. Yeah, I LOVE me some Cosmo Cricket!! The paper pack comes with awesome stickers, so you can't help but spend the extra $$$ and get the chipboard shapes that the stickers fit perfectly over top of!
After all that careful tracing, cutting, gluing, and of course finally sanding every edge, I had one pretty neat album to fill :) I have to point out one funny thing... this dang little swirl is suppose to show the bats flight pattern right? I made it from one straight row of connected pearls and it was soooo hard to get it right! LOL!
I love how this page turned out, I cut that leafy-vine-flourish thing out by hand and inked the chipboard bat with metallic ink. This picture really doesn't do it justice now that I stare at it for awhile! LOL
I have been a little bored with the usual machine stitching lately so I scribble stitched some photo mat corners by hand with orange thread. I scissor distressed all the photo mats and a few accents too. I think it turned out alright, I already have some plans for an album to finish off the papers though! Check it on ebay!

Stacked Letter Swap for ReneaBouquets at SB.com

                             Hello fans of ReneaBouquets! Brandy here to share a project I made for the September swap on sb.com. Hosted by RB DT Artist, Erin Perry,  this month's theme was a Stacked Letter Swap.  Not exactly a stack of letters, but it's actually a stack of envelopes adorned with pretty embellishing sticking out here and there.  While looking around for inspiration before I started mine, I found a video where someone had left the envelopes to open like a book, then revealing goodies in the envelopes for even more fun! Here's a list of all the ReneaBouquets products I used for this project. Find them all and more at www.reneaBouquets.com Beautiful Board Queen Anne's Lace ATC Chipboard Set Tiny Treasures Rose Quartz Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies Reneabouquets Trim-Petite Pearl Lace Beautiful Board Stained Glass Elements Laser Cut Chipboard Beautiful Board Small Cherry Bloss...
