Funmare Before Halloween Blog Hop!!!

Wooooooooo....are you totally terrified by now?  Has the hop been a blast so far?  Well, it's not over yet!  I have more to share with you!  You most likely just left the fun and frightening blog over at Nicole's.  I am sure she delighted you with her cool and creative talent!

So, here is what I cooked up for you today!  A Paper Bag Album!  I had such fun creating this too.  It became a bit more involved than I had anticipated because I just couldn't stop adding more and more things to it.  After I show you all the photos, I will have a video of the details of the album as well.  (It is uploading as we speak...if you don't see it here yet...you will shortly).  Be sure to read to the bottom because I have some very special blog candy to offer you!

Without further ado...here it is!!


I made the buttons on the left side using the Brad Maker by Imaginesce.  The stamped images are my very own Digi images now available over at my stamp site ShelleyBeanStamps. 

I created many tags to slide into all the fun little pockets hidden throughout the album.  The images were cut using the October 31 cartridge with my Cricut.

The papers and most of the supplies used were mainly provided very generously by Paper Patch Crafts!
The Chandelier was cut from the Home Decor Cricut Cartridge
It's easy and fun to create little photo mats with coordinating papers.
You can make your own photo corners by cutting a square scrap on the diagonal and popping tiny glue dots in each color.  The photo can simply slide into the corner pockets.

And here is the video!
I learned how to make the basic's of the album by watching the how-to video at this link.

So, what did you think of this album?  Would you like to learn to make your own?  How would you like to own THIS ALBUM?  Well, that is what I am offering for my blog candy.  Become a follower (if you are not already) and leave me a comment WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS!  And for fun, tell me what your favorite Halloween costume has been.  I will randomly choose 1 person as a winner Sunday night and ship this fun little album out to the winner on Monday.

Now it's time to hop on your broom and head on over to Tammy's Blog and see what she has prepared to scare you with today!!

If you have lost your way...here is the hop line up!

Fabulous - I have not made a paper bag album and you did it! in a short time too! I don't remember much of my Halloween costume - there were usually home made thrown together as we didn't have the money with 5 kids in the family, But I do remember one - when I was a princess and back in the day - you wore a plastic face mask ties on by an elastic to keep it from falling off! thanks Very nice job - off to do more hopping luv2scrap44 @ yahoo dot com

Debra said...

Beautiful job! My father was a cop, when I was 7 my mom dressed me in his full uniform..complete with smokey bear hat and drew a mustache on me with eyeliner pencil. Then while out gathering candy we ran into my dad...on patrol...with his sargent! LOL TFS

Thank you for the link on how to make this album just in case I don't win yours.
My favorite costume was the year that my dad & step-mother got married on Halloween & I dressed up as Cinderella with a bucket, mop, dust cloth, etc. I wasn't the ball gown wearing Cinderella. Thank goodness she has a great sense of humor.

Shelley, I just love your mini album, I have made a few paper bag albums, they are so fun to make....my favourite costume was one I made for him when he was in grade 9, he was the sock monster that lived in the washing machine, we used a big cardboard box, lots of white shelving paper, and some drawing on my part, oh and an old hat with lots of mismatched socks sewn on it, it was the best costume I have ever made, so many people just loved it, he won the costume judging at school...thanks for the chance to win!!
