Halloween Everyday, Day 14

Halloween junk journal continued
Apparently I'm getting faster at this, or the videos are shorter (they're not though LOL) but I'm sure enjoying creating these fun elements for the Halloween Everyday junk journal project. I made some more cluster tabs after Day 13's video, and also put some finishing touches on more super fun slides I made last week. If you'd like to hop on and get create a fun memory book/junk journal/scrapbook for yourself, you can catch Toni's Halloween Everyday series on her youtube channel here.
And more of the long tab clusters from the paper we dyed and the ephemera clusters we've been making.

Spooky Soiree
This one is from Lindsay Bateman's Spooky Soiree class. Her classes are always such fun and make such fabulous use of Heidi Swapp and Tim Holtz products. In this class, we made a large window pocket with oversized ticket insert using stamps and papers from Heidi's newest release, Ghost Stories. Take a look.
We have some windows that open.

Halloween Everyday, cluster tabs
Yesterday we dyed more paper. I didn't have the products she used in her video, but I still was able to use what I have and made more papers for creating tabs and clusters and embellishments for the junk journal.
Today is Day 13 and we used these pieces to make the cluster tabs. Here are a few I have made up so far. This has been such a fun project, I don't know what I'll do with myself when October is over. (Well, besides work on Christmas, but now I'm getting ahead of myself again.)
Tim Holtz moth transparency; everything else is what I have dyed and stamped.
For the dying I used distress reinkers, distress spray stains, and some glimmer mists I've had in my stash for ages. The cardstock I used is Neenah bright white, 65 lb. so it's not too heavy, but takes the ink well without being flimsy like copy paper. I used that paper for the stamped pieces as well.

Halloween Everyday, Day 11
Today we made the large tag that will go into the page we made yesterday. This is fast becoming my most favorite project ever. I can't wait to finish and show you all the finished journal at the end. It's going to be absolutely epic! But now I'm getting ahead of myself, so let's see Day 11, large tag.
I started with a jumbo tag from Heidi Swapp. Great size for the full page as the page is 10 inches and the tag is 7.5 inches. I love the door feature on this one, but since I didn't use the digital paper kit used in the video, I scoured images for the perfect creepy door I could print out and embellish. Look how perfect this one is!
And, of course, the door opens or it wouldn't be a door...duh! I also added a teeny brad for a door knob.
