I will be sharing today's Halloween make on Leigh's page...

I've had this idea in my head for a while now - but finally got it made to show you today...
It is an ATC folder - or it could contain crafty goodies!

Method

I made it with one sheet of 12 by 12.

I started by scoring my sheet at 4 and 8 inches horizontally and 3 and 9 inches vertically. I cut slits in the folds on the right and left hand sides. I then made 8 pockets sticking them down with glue tape and folding flaps. I used extra paper to make the central row of pockets.

I then added the ribbon around the outside and covered this with more Designer Paper. Finally I added decorations using Tom Holtz ephemera.

It contains 8 ATCs most of which have been featured in this month's posts - there are two new ones. The first one is brown card, Brushos through a stencil background, a Sainsbury's Lego card witch and bat confetti (actually purple - but this doesn't show up in the first photo).

I used this on a card for my granddaughters!

The second one is 3 layers of card then a scrap of alcohol background.  I used the Tim Holtz alcohol lift pad to take the cat image (From Rick St Dennis Sending Smiles Whimsical Mail Art Set) and stamp it on white card. I cut this out and placed it over the remaining image. Not sure if the photos show this very well...

Then I added a piece of witch confetti.

I will link this ATC to Lost Coast Portal's Challenge #63 - Cats and Dogs

My main project (when I start showing it) will contain a poem ... and here's a reminder for the current SPOT PRIZE!! - last day for this ...

From which poem does the following verse come and who is the author?

"Friends, Romans, and countrymen, lend me your ears!"

   (They were all of them fond of quotations:

So they drank to his health, and they gave him three cheers,

   While he served out additional rations).

Happy Hopping!
