Hannah went to a Halloween party last week organised by her sixth form, and took loads of photos. It was a fancy dress party, so lots of silly costumes to be seen. I had to make a double Lo for a change, as there were so many pictures, even then i didn't have enough room and had to include an extra piece of card behind the papers for more photos. I'm sure that when she looks back at this LO she will be pleased with it, i went to many parties as a student, but have almost no record of any of them, or my fellow students.
The papers used were lovely Imaginisce from
Stampeezee, i liked the spider web paper so much i had to go back and buy another piece for this weeks SLYMI LO.
On the left hand page i used bat die cuts (Sizzlits) and a stamped pumpkin (Unity), i had seen this journalling on a page ages ago, and when Hannah started to talk about the cost of the evening, it seemed to fit perfectly. The corrugated card journalling block is by Prima, torn and distressed with black and orange inks. The title is another Sizzix die, and embossed set called Lyndsey's diary.
On the right hand page I used Black Core'dinations cardstock, and cut the pumpkin face paper using a template. the photos and template were stitched to the page, and journalling added with a Souffle pen in orange. The photos were cut using square Nestabilities, and more die cut bats and stamped pumpkins.Extra photos were tucked behind the pumpkin paper.
After finishing the LO I remembered why i almost never make a DLO, they take so long to make!!!
Another Halloween page tomorrow... arachnophobes beware!
Not having 3 small photos I used 2 recent ones taken of Katie at Halloween.
The photo is one taken in the mines in Matlock earlier this week, and as the journallin
g details the guide did warn us about very large cave spiders (which were fortunately not to be seen) and bats!
s and journalling. 
So here is my version of the page. Instead of the apple, i chose a pumpkin shape for the mat behind the photo, and i straightened my LO up a little.
The pumpkin shape was drawn by hand and cut out using Basic Grey Archaic papers, and the journalling added by hand. the pumpkin stamp (so useful, from Unity) was added to the bottom corner, along with a piece of Imaginisce paper folded to look like ribbon.
alloween cuttlebug folder and sanded, journalling paper punched with a Stampin' Up punch, inked and distressed. I also made good use of my loop punches, and after a bit of practice found them easy to use. For a change, I used the computer to generate the title, i found the font on Dafont (called 'Awaken'), installed it and printed it in Word on Acetate. I didn't have a stamp set or a die that would produce this spooky type title, so i had to print it.....can't help thinking i might have cheated a bit!
