🎃
~~~~~~~

So let's celebrate Halloween!!
And we are over Half-way!!

I have mentioned a few times that this 31DOH I decided to make a few books - you have seen quite a lot of my Hall0ween Junk Journal, my 'eek' book and the start of my Spooky Season book.


Today I am going to show you the start of another book...

At the same time as the above I made another cover:


Again I used packaging cardboard, washi tape and marbled backgrounds.

In this book I added pages each matted with more marbled backgrounds.

A few years ago I took part in a swap where we each had to illustrate a verse from the poem Haunted Houses by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
This was my page:


I don't think I ever received the whole set!

This year I decided to make this little book the whole poem.

This is the front:


I am not sure where the graveyard came from - it was in my scraps - but the ghosts are from Tim Holtz dies,

This is the first page:


This house stamp is from Colour Blast - I love it!
I stamped it in black Archival and added a little bit of colour with Copics.

I am not sure if you can see the ghost.


I cut it from tracing paper...










I will add this make to Leigh's Linky!

I am also very pleased to be participating in the Countdown to Halloween Blog Hop



Happy Hopping!
