HALLOWEEN MINI BOOK CLASS

Happy Monday all!! I hope you are enjoying the long weekend - we sure are!! Kayla and I are going shopping today for clothes and shoes, just us gals while Tony and Tyler are out hunting! But, before I rush after those Labor Day sales, I thought I would share this upcoming class I have scheduled to make this darling mini Halloween book! Isn't it cute?? I am also going to offer this as a kit if you cannot attend my class so if you are interested, please email me at lilstamper@yahoo.com and I will get you all the details! I got this idea from my friend Shannon several months ago, and have made lots of these for different occasions! For this one, I used the new Halloween DSP that just came out along with two of my favorite Halloween stamp sets - I had a great time getting this put together! Here is a picture of what the inside looks like - notice that there are three inserts that can be pulled out. These are your pages for your scrappin'! And, the square on the opposite page is actually open from the top, allowing you to slide in a picture there as well! This makes a fabulous gift or a little coffee table book to share!
Here is a picture of what the pull-out pages look like! So, I will leave you with the recipe, and then off I go to shop until I drop!
Book Recipe:
Paper - Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Naturals White card stock, Ghostly Greetings Designer Series Paper
Inks - Black Stazon, Old Olive, Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Markers
Stamps - Booglie Eyes, Haunting Halloween
Accessories - Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8 inch circle punch, Round Tab Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, Black narrow grosgrain ribbon
