Hi friends,
If you're looking for a fun and creative way to document your spooky October memories, my latest project is perfect for you! I recently created a 6x8 Snap binder album using the new Simple Vintage Scary Stories collection, and it’s full of eerie charm. In this post, I’ll walk you through how I put it all together—from layering patterned papers and adding interactive elements and ways to use washi tape. Get ready to be inspired to create your own Halloween-themed mini album!
er:I used the paper "So Ghostly" as the background and added the foam "October" sticker and the "Let's Boo-Gie!" Sentiment Bit. The foam bats, banner and decorative brads add fun finishing touches. I also wrapped a piece of black/white twine around the cover twice and tied it in a loose bow.
Title Page:
I used one of the lined inserts as my base and added torn up paper strips using the following papers: Tricks & Treats, Spooks Galore, What a Scream, Jeepers Creepers (both sides). On the Spooks Galore piece, I punched a border along the edge instead of tearing it. Once glued down, I added machine stitching around the three sides.
For the embellishments, I tucked in a black doily and added the "Halloween greetings" and "boo to you!" Sentiments Bits. The title is popped up on foam dots. I also added a bottle of poison, thread, tulle, foam bat, and brads. I love all of the fun details!
6x8 insert Page:
For the front, I used the black and white dots 6x8 paper as my base. My 3x4 photo is layered on top of the Tricks & Treats paper and Jeepers Creepers paper. I added three small tags from the 6x8 paper pad and used foam strips to adhere to my background. Twine, foam stars and the foam title finish the page!
For the back, I used the 6x8 paper and added a bit of glitter glue to the stars. Easy easy!
Bat Page:
For this page, I trimmed a 6.75x8 3/8" piece of Spooks Galore paper. I then distressed the edges. For the bats, I used all of the washi tape patterns and applied them to a 12/12 piece of plain white cardstock. I then used metal dies to cut my bats out. I arranged them on the page and adhered them with liquid glue.
I used my 3" circle punch to cut my photo and my 3.5" circle punch to cut the border. I layered these using foam adhesive with a black doily and adhered to my background. I also layered the circle Oct 31 ephemera with the circle bits. The title and the banners are from the Journal Bits and Sentiments Bits. The brad and enamel dots complete the page!
3x4 and 4x6 Pocket Page:
For this page, I used the 4x6 Elements and 3x4 Elements papers to cut up the pieces needed for this page. For the 4x6, I left both of the pieces intact and scored along the middle to create a flip up. The front of the flap is decorated with a black doily and "the best witches" Sentiment Bit.
I added glitter glue to the yellow in the 3x4 piece and the stars inside the flap. I also added a few word stickers from the 12x12 sticker sheet over the photo.
I hope this album inspires you to dive into your own Halloween memories and create something spooky yet fun! The Simple Vintage Scary Stories collection has so many great elements to work with, making it easy to bring your creative vision to life. If you give it a try, I’d love to see your projects—feel free to tag me or share your creations! Happy crafting!
