Ghost Stories, Heidi Swapp class, Pt 2 of 2

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, SPOOKY FRIENDS!
💀👻💀👻💀

Yesterday I shared the projects we made in the Ghost Stories class, all but the actual album we put together from scratch. Heidi's creative brain is always on the mark with her creations and it's fun to work along with her class videos and create these amazing paper pieces. I always feel so accomplished when I finish one of her classes. :) Thanks, Heidi!

Today's post I'm sharing the album. I think creating albums is my favorite - taking papers and making a book or album just seems like a task for a smart person. I guess I mean it makes ME feel smart. Maybe. Hahaha! Well, let's get to the album, shall we. 

Super fun dressing up the cover once we finished the album. I added some stamping, the vellum ghosts, ribbon, and spooky letters on the enclosure flap. 

Inside I've added another skeleton. She is standing on a jumbo tag accordion album we also made with this fun flap closure. 

I had a piece of dyed cheesecloth just sitting there looking at me and I knew it had to adorn Miss Skellie. It makes the perfect ginger wig to which I added a headband and some stickles, and she's ready to go.

Our first page is a large frame with scratched up acetate window. It turned out so cool! We used corrugated cardboard for the frame so there is some depth to it. Looks really neat. 

Behind the frame is another super cool, 3D haunted house. For this one, I also added a bit of stamping for extra fun spookiness. 

This one has a pull out tag behind it with a spooky Halloween night scene. 

In addition to the stamping, I also added some Distress Foundry Wax in the color Gilded. It takes such a teensy amount but the affect is so cool! The bits of gold along the rooflines, fence and door turned out so awesome over the dark ink. Heidi used a product called Rub and Buff, which I had not heard of, but when she showed what it does, I knew the foundry wax was the perfect substitute!

Remaining pages ready for pictures or whatever. This was so much fun, I can't even tell you!

Bat book and ribbon/acetate closure. 

and back cover. The end. :)
