Halloween Scrapbooking - Journaling

How I made a journaling section for my Halloween scrapbook page.

I cut this shape from the Storybook Cricut Cartridge, then cut it almost in half.

My inspiration.  From a Bo Bunny Halloween paper.

I used a candle stamp that had a straight edge and dipped the edge in black ink,
making the lines uneven and a little like a spider web.

I used the same Cricut cartridge cut out a little bigger for the border,
and trimmed up the top one to show more of the pretty border.

The finished look.  Of course I will be adding pictures and journaling,
and the other side of the paper is decorated, but more simply.

The spider webs are embossed, so they are sparkly and have a nice texture.

Paper Flower

I made my first paper flower using this video.



 I sprayed mine with glue and dipped it in dazzling diamonds glitter from Stampin' Up.  The Cricut cartridge I used had a flower with a hole in the middle, so that changed things a little.
