Taryn uses an interesting binding when making her books- a great technique you can use over and over!  Here are some close ups of a few of her pages:

Taryn will be dropping off her sample this afternoon so please stop by to see more of this wonderful book and to sign up!

Here is the class information:

(Not So) Spooky Halloween Layouts and Decor

I love getting out my fall decorations - the rich, warm colors just make me happy! I was also very happy as I was looking at all the fun and colorful autumn and Halloween papers at Scrapdoodles! It was hard to choose, but I took home a few sheets from My Mind's Eye (Blackbird) and Making Memories (Toil & Trouble). I also picked out a pack of paper embellishements and the cute buttons pack from the Toil & Trouble collection. I used both collections to make this cute table-top tree. Don't forget that you can get so much more out of your papers and embellishments when you cut and/or layer pieces together. I also made 2 layouts to share using these collections.

The purple and orange combination works really well with these "spooky" photos and the borders were very easy to make. Even though I used quite a few buttons and tags, there are so many embellishments included in the boxes, I could still make plenty more layouts!

The Halloween collection from My Mind's Eye is a bit more playful - the green spider paper is SUPER CUTE!

Hope you enjoy these and you're inspired to get some of these papers for your fall and Halloween photos! Happy Scrappin Scrapdoodles Fans! ~Karen

Ranger & Maya Rd. in stock and on the floor!

Maya Rd. Summer CHA Release is here with their new Acrylic and Chipboard release as well as their new Maya Mists. These sprays are a lot like Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, except that it's a bit more concentrated. This comes in really handy when spraying chipboard. Instead of spending lots of time covering your chipboard with paper, try spraying it with Maya Mist. You'll be amazed at how NICE it covers your surface and how FAST you can spray an entire album!


You can also use Maya Mist to alter items, such as fabric. Want to know how to make these beautiful muslin roses? Click here for a step-by-step tutorial!
