Featured Friday - Halloween Hodgepodge Mini Album - Part 2

Happy Halloween Paper Wings fans! Dana here today sharing more of my Halloween Hodgepodge mini album. I'm really loving the Halloween Hodgepodge Mixed Media Kit! I used the new kit as well as bits and pieces of previous Nesting Components Kits to create this album. If you missed my first mini album post this month, CLICK HERE. I've added the photos and some more stamping to the pages of my album and am sharing that today.

I've been pinning recipes all month long in preparation for my Halloween party and wanted to document some of the treats I'll be serving later tonight. I attached a photo of Black Velvet Cake to the page with Purple Lace Washi Tape. I added a small clip art image (Halloween 2 Clip Art Sheet) and a bat sequin to the corner of the page.

I included photos of my brother's family. Although we don't live close enough to trick-or-treat together, I still wanted to make note of their fantastic costumes! The colors in the image (top) from the Halloween 1 Clip Art Sheet matched my photos perfectly! I used the NEW Hombre Skeleton Cling Stamp and the Fall Add Ons Clear Stamp Set with a White Stamper's Big Brush Pen to dress up a piece of black cardstock (bottom). I added journaling with a White Uniball Pen.

My brother also dressed up his dogs! This is my favorite photo of their Boston Terrier Tobias as a killer whale. I embellished this page with an image from the Halloween 1 Clip Art Sheet, an envelope and label sticker from the Well Dressed Nesting Components Mixed Media Kit and a flower from my stash.

I'm trying to creep up my house for my party tonight. I have a spooky glow-in-the-dark ghost guarding my walkway. I framed him with a pair of ghosts from the Fall Add Ons Clear Stamp Set. and taped him down with a piece of Halloween Striped Washi Tape. I'm happy that I don't have to dust before my guests arrive! I'm adding more cobwebs and spiders to furniture and fixtures inside my home.

I'm looking forward to filling my skeleton cup from my skeleton drink dispenser! The skeleton rub-on I added to this page is from a previous Nesting Components Kit.

I topped a photo of my daughters in their costumes with this gorgeous purple frame (frames vary from kit to kit). I recorded the year on a hand-dyed tag and stamped "ghoulish" onto the bottom of the page using the Fall Add Ons Clear Stamp Set.

My girls are like night and day. My oldest is dressed as a Monster High character and my youngest is a flying mermaid (her costume idea!). I finished their pages with some leftover Halloween decorations and some journaling. I have a couple pages left to record some candid party pics.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you'll pick up the Halloween Hodgepodge Mixed Media Kit! The mix of products in this kit is really fun to work with.

Please come back and visit us next month for the November Nesting Components Mixed Media Kit reveal, the November Challenge and the November Blog Hop. We have more talented Guest Designers joining us and they're sure to inspire you!

What's Up Wednesday - Halloween Hodgepodge Mini Album

Hi Paper Wings fans! Dana here today sharing a Halloween Hodgepodge mini album today. I'm really loving the Halloween Hodgepodge Mixed Media Kit! I used the new kit as well as bits and pieces of previous Nesting Components Kits to create this album.

I stamped the Large Katrina skeleton into the focal point of my album cover using the black StazOn ink included in the kit and then colored in the background of the circle with a Warm Grey Stamper's Big Brush Pen. I placed a piece of Fusible Webbing over the stamped image and melted it with a heat gun to give the look of cobwebs.

I also fused webbing over the embellishment cluster and added a couple spiders to play up the creep factor.

I had a lot of fun dressing up the inside pages of this album. I used The Crafter's Workshop stencil from the kit on the inside cover of the album. I stamped sentiments on both the outer and inner front covers using the Halloween Mix It Up Clear Stamp Set.

This skull print paper bag is one of my favorite items in the kit. I added a die-cut frame, hand-dyed tag and ribbon to the bag (all included in the kit) and punched holes through the top for use an an album page. The letter stickers I used to spell 'boo' are from last months Well Dressed Nesting Components Mixed Media Kit.

Another favorite item from this kit is the strip of black caution tape. I used less than half of it to embellish this 6x6 piece of patterned paper. I stamped a set of ghosts onto the page using the Fall Add Ons Clear Stamp Set.

I have plenty of pages in this album to document my daughters as they trick-or-treat and the following neighborhood Halloween Party. In addition to the fun embellishments included in this kit, I also filled the pages with images cut from the Halloween 1 and Halloween 2 Clip Art Sheets. I'll be sure to share the entire album once I've added the photos and some journaling, so be sure to stop back in November!

If this is your first stop to the blog this week, you'll want to check out the fantastic projects shared by our Guest Designers, Agnieszka and Kathleen. They'll both be back again with more inspiring work before the end of the month.

If you're still working with last months Well Dressed Nesting Components Mixed Media Kit, Erica's fantastic Thank You Card Set is a must-see.

If you're looking to take a break from Halloween and Thanksgiving crafting, Katie shared a fabulous Copic Coloring Tutorial that has great tips for use all year long.

Lastly, we'd love to have you join our October Challenge. Create a project using the colors Orange or Black or the theme Halloween and share it with us before the end of the month for your chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to the Paper Wings Productions Store!

Feature Friday - Halloween Mini Album with Dana

Hi! Dana here today sharing the mini album that I put together with the October Nesting Components Mixed Media Kit. This kit is one of my favorite PWP kits to date and I had a blast assembling this spooky book!

The Metal Buckles were my favorite item in the kit. I attached them to the Woven Cover using the matching brads that come with the buckles. I marked where I wanted to attach each buckle to the cover with a pen and then punched a hole through the cover using a hammer and nail. I cut strips of Grunge Board and dyed them with a mixture of black mist and coffee to create faux leather straps to hold my album shut. I used brads to fasten the straps to the back cover of the album, attaching them using the same process as the buckles.

I embellished the cover with my favorite stamp from the Art Textures Cling Stamp Set and a rub-on from the kit. The package of rub-ons from the kit includes two sheets of rub-ons, one in black and one it white! The white rub-ons work great on dark surfaces like the album cover.

I used the 7 Gypsies Wicked Journal Pages and Wicked Ephemera packages from the kit to cover the brads punched through the front and back covers of the album and also for the album pages. I distressed and inked the edges of the papers to give this album an aged look. The mix of page sizes and colorful vintage images gives this album a lot of visual interest. Also, both the Wicked Journal Pages and Wicked Ephemera are double-sided!

I embellished the pages of my album with images from the Clip Art Sheets and some Halloween Themed Stamp Sets. I used the Halloween Mix It Up Clear Stamp Set and the Good Witch Cling Stamp Set on the journaling tag and photo.

The Clip Art Sheets from the kit include a spooktacular mix of vintage Halloween images and  photos, like this one from the classic film The Wizard of Oz. I framed a vintage image on the left page, underneath the photo of my daughter, with the new Fringe Lace Clear Stamp.

I used the Good Witch Cling Stamp Set again here to dress up one of the ephemera pages along with a photo of my daughter "flying" around the backyard. I added a black rub-on directly to the photo.

Here are a couple more pages from my album. I have plenty of space to add journaling and photos from upcoming Halloween parties and trick-or-treating fun.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to create a Halloween themed album of your own. This kit is sold out, but you can still pick up the stamp sets, Woven Cover and Metal Buckles from the Paper Wings Production Store while supplies last. Act fast to purchase one of the last remaining Day of the Dead Kits before they are gone for good!
