 Whether you use this Halloween scrapbook page for
photos you WILL take this year at Halloween or whether it inspires you to dig
out photos of the kids from years ago and finally make that scrapbook page, you
will be preserving memories.
This page is 8" x 8", but it would be easy to
enlarge to any size you like. The important thing is to scrap your memories
because they will be valuable to you and others in future
years.

base.
2. Cut a piece of Concord Crush card stock about 8 ½"x 2 ¾". Emboss one
end of this strip with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, then turn and
insert opposite end in folder, trying to place it so the design will be somewhat
lined up with the top part. You can place the ribbon later across the area that
might not line up exactly.
3. Tear off a little bit of the right side of the
Concord Crush embossed strip to create a rough edge. Using a sponge, swipe the
sponge inked up with White Craft Ink across the embossed design, lightly. You
should mostly hit the raised embossed design, but it doesn't matter if some ink
gets in between. You can always add more sponging if you want. Tie a piece of
Pumpkin Pie ribbon around this strip before adhering the next layers.

a strip of the First Edition DSP 8" x 1½" and tear a bit off the right side.
Adhere under torn edge of Concord Crush. Sponge with some Concord Crush and
Pumpkin Pie ink.

edge with the Scallop Edge Border Punch. Adhere under the First Edition layer.
Sponge with some Concord Crush ink.
6. Adhere this whole embossed strip to
the black page base.
7. Cut photo mats from Pumpkin Pie card stock 4 ¼" x 3
¾" and 2 ½" x 2 ½". Cut Old Olive layers ¼" larger. You can cut photo mats any
size you like for your photos. Adhere to page.
8. Using Spooky Bingo Bits
stamps, stamp words on 1" x 1 ¼"Whisper White pieces and sponge with your choice
of inks lightly. Adhere to embossed strip.

White card stock with Black StaZon ink and cut out with Paper Snips. Adhere to
page using Stampin' Dimensionals.

with Black StaZon and punch out with 1" Circle Punch. Sponge the edges a little
with Old Olive ink. Layer on punched 1 ¼" Circle of Concord Crush. Adhere to

Ask Rebecca
Question: How should I store my brayer?
Answer: If you store your brayer horizontally (i.e., flat on a surface), always store it
with the roller facing upward. If you store your brayer vertically (i.e., in a
slot of a crafting carousel), ensure the brayer is resting on the handle and the
roller is facing up and outward and there is nothing touching the roller.
Otherwise, you will create flat spots on the roller. Flat spots on a brayer will
cause an uneven application of ink onto cardstock.
Have a question for me?
