This was a fun collage wall hanging I made for my grandson for Halloween. I used a wooden matte for the base, then I stained the frame. Next I added designer Halloween background paper in layers along with inks, embossing dies, Halloween ribbon. To complete the project I added a metal key, a spider and a small skeleton face.  The mossy green paper behind the grome is some hand made paper I made several years ago.  I loved the texture of the paper.

This is my project for September,a mixed media fairy birthday book.

. 

I purchased this chipboard album from Scrapbook.com to make this album for a friend's daughter who was having a birthday. 

I had lots of fun putting the book together. I used a combination from my collection of digital stamps, cutting dies and rubber stamps. 

I used designer card stock by Crafter's Companion called Cosmic Collection, assorted papers from my stash, rubber stamps, cutting dies,  acrylic paints,Distressed inks to create the background pages. 

I also added some sentiments and a poem. I left a few empty areas to added best wishes.To close the book I used a dainty chain and a key and lock set. 

I really liked how the book unfolded.
