| I got the turkey legs stamp on clearance at Archivers over the summer. I think it's hilarious! I embossed the stamp with a bronze embossing powder and double-matted it. Then I decorated the envelopes with a cute pilgrim stamp I colored in with thin-line Sharpies. |
 |
| I embellished this card with another cute stamp. And, again, I colored the image in with thin-line Sharpies. |
 |
| I bought the glittery jack-o-lantern embellishment on this card front years ago. There were two in the pack, which worked out great. Each of my two grandsons got the same card – no fighting! |

 |
| Each part of the jack-o-lantern face on this card front is a button – too cute! |

| Graphic 45's Happy Haunting collection is still my favorite Halloween paper. |

 |
| The witch legs and shoes on this card came from a section of 12"x12" paper. I love how simple this card is while still being fun. |
 |
| The candy corn paper on this card front had been in my stash for years. I covered a few of the images with candy corn glossy dimensional stickers I also found in my stash. |

 |
| I was inspired to make these paper pumpkins after watching MsLiberty25's YouTube video. I plan to make more next year. They're a great way to use paper I've been holding onto for way too long. |
 |
| I love how you can see the Mickey ear tabs at the top. |
 |
| This is the inside front cover and page one. The back and front covers and all the pages are connected by hinges I created with a Mickey silhouette cut with my Cricut. |
 |
| Each of the six inserts forms a pocket that holds a photo mat. The tabs for the photo mats are smaller Mickey silhouettes also cut with my Cricut. The front of each mat is blue. . . |
 |
| . . .and the back is yellow. |
 |
| This is an example of the two page spreads throughout the album. All the embellishments I used are over 10 years old. Still scraping my stash! |
 |
| When the bow's untied, the album forms a star by touching the front cover to the back cover. . . |
 |
| . . .making a fun table-top display. |
 |
| The front and back covers are pieces cut from cereal boxes and covered with tourist maps. |
 |
| The back cover includes my signature stamp. |
 |
| The pocket on the first page was made from a coffee cup protector and holds three journaling tags. |
 |
| Each of the six inserts includes a pocket that holds a tag for two more photos, front and back. |
 |
| The base of the card was created with two holiday cards I covered with card stock. On the front cover, I did some fussy-cutting to create the front pocket and popped the sentiment with foam squares. |
 |
| Front of pocket tag. |
 |
| Back of pocket tag. |
 |
| Now you can begin to see how I overlapped the holiday cards to create three panels. |
 |
| The center panel is where the holiday cards overlapped to create a pocket. |
 |
| The center pocket was big enough to accommodate a large tag. |
 |
| Front of large tag. |
 |
| The back of the large tag gives Michael an opportunity to do some trip journalling. |
 |
| And here's the back of the card. I found the 'D' stamp in a little shop in New York City. I think it makes a nice signature for my paper projects. |
