Last Pages from Halloween Book


I'm back to posting some of my projects.  I'm hoping to show you some of the things I've been doing for the past two weeks when I had no computer.  (Well actually I did use the laptop from the motorhome to check emails but not much else)

Here are the last two pages of my Halloween Altered Book.  I continued to use vintage witch images and pictures of the two GDs.  I found the little trick or treat bags at the thrift store some time ago.  I knew I would use them in my altered art.  The bags worked perfectly on these two pages.  I also used some twisted copper wire to embellish the pages.  Gold Stickles was applied to the pumpkin's face.  Button is from WalMart.  This was a fun book.  Can't wait to show you the fun book I made today in a class at Paper Vineyard in Chandler.

More Pages from My Halloween Altered Book



These two pages are of my oldest GD.  She was 1 in the top photo and 2 in the bottom.  These were before she had a little sister with which to share Halloween.  The top picture shows her dressed as a Arizona Diamondback cheerleader.  I remember the evening that her Daddy bought the little outfit in the team shop at the ballpark. 

I love the little princess dress in  the bottom photo.  She was two and so cute in her pink dress with the crown.  She is now in second grade and will celebrate her 8th birthday this month.  My how time flies. 

As with the other pages, I embellished with vintage Halloween Witch postcards.  I added glitter glue to the postcards,  the background stars, and the crown.  Other embellishments included three dimensional pumpkins and black and white ribbon.  I also added some black ball fringe along the bottom edge. 

As you can see I had fun with these pages.  I'll post more later this week.

Halloween Altered Book Pages




As promised, here are the first two pages of the Halloween Altered Book.  The two beautiful fairies are my GDs.  They were sitting on a block wall surrounded by their carved pumpkins.  As you can tell from the photo, Halloween in Arizona is very warm (not your typical Halloween weather.)

 I added falling leaves and a vintage witch on each page.  I found the copper wire in my studio and decided to add it to the pages.  More pages tomorrow.  Ballgame this afternoon.
