4 x 6 leather swirl mini album

I love how this came out! All paper and card stock from Recollection at Michael's.
The swirl on the cover is a Sizzix die that I cut out of very thin leather!!! Inked and added Stampin' Up flat back pearls, all hot glued in place.

The flowers are also from Michael's recollection collection I got in the clearance section. The lace is vintage lace I bought at a quilt show hot glued to the covers and a piece tied to the Cinch binding.

The charm on the side is three layers of the leather that I die cut, glued, inked and punched a hole with my Crop-A-Dile. Added a couple jump rings to a seed bead necklace I broke down to make the dangle.

The pages are all 4 x 6 double matted and used the labels Cuttlebug embossing and cutting die. They are inked and raised on foam squares.

You can watch the video for more details, thanks for stopping by would love comments.

Haunted House from Michaels

When I went to Michaels this morning - I had a wreath in mind to make - but when I saw this Haunted House and a coffin - I knew I was deemed to make them.
For now - I made the haunted house.

The house, paper, and decorating elements all came from my trip to M's with a lot left over.

I first painted the grass on the bottom, then the fence (this is difficult and takes some time to get all the rungs and sides coated in black. Then I painted the front and back of the houses (orange and purple).
Using the new Recollections Halloween 8 x 8 pack of cs I bought today - I measured each panel of the house and roof and chimney and glued them on With my Scott's quick dry glue.

Next I sponged some antique white paint here and the on the fence and houses.
Added the dimensional stickers and I think it came out cute.
Total time probably 3 - 3 1/2 hours.
I want to put a light in it but need to drill a hole in the back or bottom. hmmmm.

Next I still have to make the coffin... this one will be fun as it opens on a hinge so I have some thinking to do... I have a couple ideas.. but they will have to wait.
