Greetings, dear reader!
Here is the Halloween Junque book I created...hope it inspires you to create a halloween tag book of your own! Kit from Red Lead...of course! I added lots of my favorite embellies and voila! a festive book to display and ogle!
Before assembling, I inked all of the elements, tags and pages...alternating orange and black inks.

The vintage moon image is one of my faves...and of course, can I make ANYTHING without pom pom fringe? I think not!
Detail of fabric ribbon (included in kit) and some wonderful fibers and beads; perfect for the season
The fabric tag has an owl image stamped on it, then ribbon sewn to the top of the tag. It was then inked.
I found a beautiful piece of vintage black lace for the background of this page...I wove orange bias tape through it then attached it to the page. I just love how it turned out! I then added the stamped little "spook".
This calendar page came from a halloween kid's book...
I added a haunted house card...note the little kids, bats and spider webs in the windows!
And an owl in the belfry!
Chipboard crow covered with black cardstock on both sides, then a bias tape ribbon adds a bit of whimsy...
A creepy yet sweet version of a jack o lantern!
Vintage postcard image...
Scanned pumpkin pie spice can and vintage scaredy cats...
Halloween crepe paper rosette, vintage cat image on black library pocket.
Back cover ... one of my favorite vintage images...
And the vintage jack o lantern tag is my most fave image of all! I just love his derby.
Hope this book inspires you! More soon!
Hugs,
Paula Clare

Love the vintage images and the pumpkin pie spice label!!! Very cute...I love how you put random things together and make them tell a "story"..I ain't real good at that. Loved it!

Welcome friends! And thanks for stopping by!
Elizabeth from Creative Breathing is one of my most "rabid" (lol)fans! I just know her paper creations will be as fab and adorable as her felt ones! Can't wait to work alongside you all!
Hugs and paper kisses!
This is over-the-top incredible. I'm speechless. I love every single wonderful touch. You must have had the time of your life making it.
Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

Paula, I am back again! I went to my local scrapbook store and made my little tag book. They let me use their machine. It is on my Christmas list this year! I hope you don't mind my copying heavily from your tag book for ideas! I never in a million years would think of all the fold outs and hidden tags, and, Wow I am so excited to work on this! I can see I am ready to think outside the tag! Thank you for your inspiration! You are amazing! Elizabeth
