Erin's Surprise Package- Part 2

Well it's no surprise now that I got the fun Halloween collection by October Afternoon to work with this month. I am still surprised though that it took October Afternoon this long to come out with a Halloween line. This is right up their alley! Did I mention that the collection is the perfect mix of whimsical vintage inspired images and some great pattern and textures too? Great for photos of little goblins as well as big ones.

Everything you see here, with the exception of the trim, some distress ink, 2 little googley eyes, and Helmar adhesives all come from the Witch Hazel Collection.  I sliced into the witch's hat to hang it over the corner of my photo, and cut the cat in half so both his head and tail peek out from both sides of the photo. I love the orange letter stickers that come in the collection pack too- definitely a fun font for a Halloween page! All I did to create the title was use the labels from the pack, and layer my title letters on top.


Are your goblins ready for Halloween, and are you all done scrapping last year's photos?
You've got a few days left!

Toil and Trouble...

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the caldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,

Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon's blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.

 - William Shakespeare ( Macbeth)

Well my three little guys are probably a pretty far cry from the three witches in the play Macbeth, but they did work pretty hard making those Jack-o-lanterns for Halloween. Besides any title with the word "trouble"  in it is a pretty sure bet when it comes to my little goblins. 

I had the opportunity to work with the new Halloween line Witch Hazel from October Afternoon. A great surprise to find in my box for the month! I love October Afternoon, and think it's about time they created a  line for Halloween...
