Halloween Haunted Shadow Box Mixed Media Project

I love using my paper crafting and scrapbooking supplies to create decor for different Holidays. Paula created this amazing Haunted Shadow Box project using products from Tim Holtz’s lines at Stampers Anonymous and Ranger. She started with a blank wooden shadow box, applying black Distress Paint, adding black stencil paste over top with a stencil to add some texture on the sides. For the background she stamped a large spider web adding color and texture with Mica Stains and Distress Inks. She cut and applied the house and popped up the vintage photo replica over top. She also included flowers, urns, skulls and a tombstone colored with inks and roughed with grit paste and lastly she included some text. This would be a fun project to use with your own families vintage photos.

You can find her step by step photos and directions over on the Ranger Ink blog.

Niella used the Color Me Crafty collection from Doodlebug to create this adorable crafty themed mini album. The cover and each page are shaped like giant tickets and there’s a disc binding on the edges and fun dangling charm hanging on the spine. The cover has a cute stack of Polaroids accent and a layered scalloped border with button pattern paper.

Inside she used more crafty pattern papers, embellishments, stickers, cardstock, puffy words and more to designs wonderful pages that have lots of room for crafty photos and journaling.

There’s even a pocket to tuck in mementos and ephemera. I love the color scheme of this collection, it’s so bright and cheerful! This little album project is perfect for all your memories of going to scrapbooking classes, crops, conventions, retreats, hanging out crafting with friends or pics of your craft room.
