Book of Spells

My thoughts and prayers today are with everyone affected by Sandy.

I have a quick project to share with you...my last Halloween project of the year. But I will have a Halloween card to share on Friday for a DT post.

I used an old free book from the library for the Book of Spells. The paper is from K&Company. The black ribbon on the spine is from my stash. The label is a Spellbinders Grand Labels Four. Book of Spells is from A Frightful Affair, the letters welded together on my Gyspy.

I can't remember who made the sticker bottles...I picked them up at Michaels and threw away the packaging.

Surprise when you open the book...the inside holds a secret stash of candy corn!! I mod-podged the pages together. Once they were dry, I cut a hole in the center of the paper, which was much harder than I thought it would be. I tried so many things and ended up using a craft knife...it took forever!! The frame is a Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Rectangle, with a Classic Rectangles Large for the cutout.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. DL.Art Thankful Thursday Challenge - Linky Party
2. Sunday Funday #2 - Linky Party

Thanks so much for stopping by today :)

Happy Wednesday!! It's time for another super-fun challenge at Decorate to Celebrate!!

Let's celebrate everything wonderful about spooky spiders and slimy slugs with your table decorations, party banners, pennants, yard signs, cupcakes, party favors and more :)

For my project, I created spooky ghost decorations!! I planned on posting a tutorial on how to make these, but my internet went down yesterday around 5pm and didn't come back until this morning. (I felt disconnected from the world!!) I have an appointment at 8am, so I don't have time to do the tutorial or find the link. If anyone is interested, I'll post the tutorial either later today or tomorrow.

These were so fun to make, although I ruined some cheesecloth before I figured it out :)

Spooktacular, Happy Haunting, and Boo are from A Frightful Affair, tied with hemp fiber.
