Boo!

My last layout for the October Pear Drop Crop over on the Peartree Cutfile Group. Challenge #2 was Terri's paper folding challenge. I looked up some Halloween origami tutorials and found this cute bat by the Craftaholic Witch. I made him in three sizes. 

I chose three photos of the children dressed up for a Halloween party we had at Toadhall back in 1999.

I used:
Basic Grey - Eerie and Ambrosia collections (papers and stickers)
star gems
Distress Mica Spray - Crooked Broomstick, Bubbling Cauldron and Hocus Pocus
black paper
googly eyes
Black Distress Ink

Hocus Pocus

Another challenge for the October Pear Drop Crop - This is #1 and is Marie's On Repeat Challenge.  The idea is to repeat an element on the page, so I chose to cut lots of witches, bats, cats and mice. I used these three photos of Catherine dressed for a halloween party we held at Toadhall in 1999.

I used:
Basic Grey - Eerie collection
Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits - Toil and Trouble
