Halloween Sisters

Halloween is not something we would naturally celebrate, and although quite a few children are living nearby, we had only once little visitors coming to our door within the last 7 years. Halloween approaching fast I thought I give it a go with a Halloween project. Always wanting to alter a book I combined Elina's Spring-themed Altered Book with Niche with Nancy's Altered Book Cover ... and could also not resist to use Ali's ribbon tabs.
The first step was to find a book which I would be willing to alter. I must admit I had never done it before because it feels almost like a sacrilege ... but I took the challenge and I loved the process! I found a little book in one of the charity shops which had just the right size and volume for this project. I turned the Spring theme into Halloween ... otherwise I tried to follow the excellent tutorials from Elina and Nancy
The inside pages are cut with circle cutters of various sizes from Creative Memories. This was an enjoyable process and I have now lots of printed circles for new projects (lol)
All images used are from the Graphics Fairy. Karen's Halloween images are amazing!
Thanks to Elina's and Nancy's clear descriptions the project was quite plain sailing apart from me being slightly impatient and removing the greaseproof paper too early from the book which unfortunately took off some of the glue
and the edges look a bit untidy. I now know for the next time! Happy crafting, Petra.
