Halloween Night

It's been one of those lazy days. I just went outside to carry out a bag of garbage and OH MY-What a beautiful Sunday this has turned out to be!

I'm sharing the last of the Halloween themed mini albums I've made. This one uses the Doodlebug Oct 31st paper line. This album measures 6x6 with a 2 3/4" spine.

 Every thing you see here is all part of the Oct 31st paper pack. Doily is from my stash.

Hand made tag using the Stampin Up tag topper punch

                                             Every page has a side pocket for a photo mat.

                                             Waterfall folio is held down magnetically.

This has a button pull and folds down for 2 more photo's. Held shut by a magnet.

That's it from me for now. Working on a few more Halloween cards before I pack it all away and pull out the Christmas goodies!

Have a wonderful week ahead.

Valentine in October?

Another mini album to share today. Actually I have two, but one is a Valentine mini album that I had started in January this year but unfortunately it had been set aside for other reasons unbeknownst to me! I did finally finish it so that it could be raffled off in our United Way campaign at work which was held weeks ago.

Inside first page

2nd pages

you can see the photo mat/journaling mat sticking out of the side pockets

lots of photo mats and spots to journal on

lots of reds, pinks and blacks

 

I used an older Authentique paper line along with all the stickers and embellishments that came with the pack. Pink, red and black cardstock from my stash along with the ribbons, flowers, pearls and clips used.
I think I will hold off sharing the 2nd album with you until next week....until then,

Authentique Halloween

Good Sunday morning to you! It has been cold, cloudy, windy and cold - did I say cold twice? Yes!! But I refuse to turn on the heat this early. I did break down and pull out the totes that stores the winter clothes. ..and flannel pajama's!

I'm sharing mini album #3 that I had made for our United Way raffle that was held last week at work.

 I used the new Authentique Moonlit paper pad. This is the front cover, the spider web doily is from Stampin Up.

 Here I added some bats and the black cat on the left. On the right is a pocket page with photo mats and journaling cards and tags.

 This is the first time I made a file folder out of card stock. Every thing was working out great until I realized I put the pages in backwards! But the album was all put together and decorated when I discovered my error! You really can't tell unless I point it out.

 The bronze filigree you see above is from Butterbee Scraps. I added the gem to the middle.

 Another filigree from Butterbee Scraps-

 The page on the right has a magnetic closure. It opens (below) into a trifold photo mat.

 I made the bellyband (right page) out of one of the pattern paper in the tablet.

On the left side, I die cut the pocket from a PTI die and filled it with photo mats and journaling cards.

 

 Left page-the spider web flips up to another tri fold photo mat with a magnetic closure. The page on the right - the belly band was made from a Martha Stewart punch

 This page features a waterfall folio. The vertical tab has a magnetic closure which keeps the photo mats from popping up.
