Boo-k to Look!!

I had so much fun at my haunted manor workshop that I had to make some extra things to show off our decor elements from the Holiday Mini.. YOU TOO can make these and all elements are available 24/7 right here   

Just select the Holiday mini and see the Decor Elements on page 8... it's huge 24x12 approximately... well... you'll see here in my 16x20 frame how big the wording is... I love this stuff!! I made my frame based on a sample one that a talented Demonstrator on Stampin Connection made.. . I made some modifications and blam!!!  I love my frame.... 

 Book to look and again all items available except for the jar at the link above...

Inside the jar are little treat boxes made with the latest BigZ L die "Candy Wrapper" on page 10 bottom

It's so easy to assembly.. just  a little sticky on one side of the box and turn the end in towards the box... presto!!!

The lid is topped off with black grosgrain ribbon studded with Brads in coordinating colors and the stripped 1 1/4" grosgrain ribbon around the neck of the jar that looks like a collar tied on with the new peach parfait in a bow

 

Close up of lid before I had the book to look on it... but youget the picture

you can also swap out the lid covers... It'll be my trick or treat jar!!

Spooky Mansion Class coming up!!

Presenting...................

The Spooky Manor Class

I will be hosting a class to make this Spooky Mansion with some very lively ladies and friends!  Would you like a kit to make this Spooky Manor?  Let me know and I can arrange that, instructions and all embellishments!!... If you are interested in only the Manor itself... you can buy one here 24/7... just scroll down to the Home Decor Elements.. it's only $5.95!!! 

Here is a frontal view... but Oh My!!! You have to see the other 3 sides!!  They are way too cute!

 

This Manor comes complete with the coordinating Platform (I made this from scratch!!), spooky spider webbed Trees, flying distressed bats, hanging bats, peeking ghosts, spiders with jeweled eyes and sparkling smoke in the chimney!!!

Other views: 

Tricker treaters under my window and spooky bats hanging under eaves...

Spooky critters peering out of the dark room 

This Irridescent spider actually has two rhinestone eyes, but with the flash... they look like googly eyes.. they are truly sparkly..

Again...  my booing ghosts!!

The average time to complete... I'd say about 2 hours for an expert crafter and probably 3 for those who like to take their time... who says you need to rush?  We are well ahead of Halloween, but I'm starting just a little earlier because I have lots more coming.

Thanks for looking and visiting my site!

'til next time... happy haunting!!

Sandra
