Halloween Everyday, Day 10

We are making great progress in the Halloween junk journal series. For today's project, we made another page insert. What fun way to use the ephemera, tags, and spooky clusters we made in the first days of the series. 

As you can see, the top area is pretty bare. It won't be for long. I'll be adding more to that, but in the meantime, there is a slit there at the stitching where a large tag will slip into, so much of the top area will be covered anyway.
The bottom flap holds it all closed with a magnet. Here is the bottom flap opened:
Here we have all the flaps opened and you can see the fun spookiness inside. Again, we have lots of Tim Holtz and Heidi Swapp in this piece. 

Creepy slide lady over a giant transparency moth; more bugs and stuff on the inside of the bottom flap.
These guys are so cool. Another Tim Holtz piece, but it wasn't creepy enough. I sanded it, then used a black pen to fill in the eyes and to make it even cooler, barely swiped over the eyes before the ink dried. What a cool effect! Not to mention, I had to chop their legs off below the knees. Morbid!
