Halloween Journal Inside Cover from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Last week I shared the covers for my three Halloween Journals.

Today, I'm sharing the inside of the cover.  I created it with our current Tag, You're It! challenge here on the blog.  You can join the challenge here.

For Dominick's journal I used the fox from 5352 – Halloween Critters Set.
The tags are all from 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies.

My original plan was to have two long tags and have them say Happy Hallloween but it was too long.  I improvised and ended up with All Hallows Eve.

The letters were cut using 5562 – Journal Letter Die Set.  All of the images on the thin tags are from 5487 – Front Porch Halloween Set.

Next up is Makena's journal.  On hers, I showed how I'll put a little cash in the journal for them.  This time I used the bunny from the Halloween Critters. 

I used the little pocket from the 5589 – Journal Pocket Die Set

I used some of the papers from 5605 – Halloween Journal Paper Pack.

Here's my final journal.  This one has the owl from the Halloween Critters set.

All three journals were created using the 5543 – Journal Template Die Set.

I hope you're enjoying my journal so far and that
you'll play along in our Tag, You're It challenge!

A Trio of Halloween Journals from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

It's almost spooky season and so I'm beginning a little project now because I know it'll take me a while.  I'm making some Halloween journals for my kids.  I'm beginning with the cover but then I'll be skipping around a bit.  When they're finished,  I'll show you them in order from front to back.
There will be 3 journals in all, one for Art Impressions and one for each of my kids. Each one will be very similar and yet completely unique.

For Dominick and Makena's, I personalized them by adding their names with the 5562 – Journal Letter Die Set.  I also added the name Jackson's to the sign post because that's a famous pumpkin farm just down the road from us that they've gone to since they were babies.

My kids are grown now, but they've loved Halloween since they were little.  My plan is to put a GC and a little cash in here for them.  They're also each getting a Halloween Tea Towel and probably a favorite candy. Though you can't tell in the pictures, the stars are cut out of glittery white paper.

I colored in the negative space in between the skeleton's bones to make him pop more.
I hope you're inspired to give the Ai Journals a try.  They're so fun and can be personalized for any theme or person that you wish.  The possibilities are endless.

Halloween Front Porch from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing the cutest Halloween Front Porch you'll ever see!

I've used the 5487 – Front Porch Halloween Set which is an add on set for the 5512 – Front Porch Door Set.

My card was made for the It's Fall Y'all challenge on the Art Impressions Blog.

This time I fussy cut around the door even though it comes with dies because I didn't want the door to open or the windows to be cut out.

New! Front Porch Halloween set from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Who loves Halloween??

I do! I do!

 I was so excited when I saw the new 5487 – Front Porch Halloween Set which is part of the Front Porch Series.

I went a little dark and spooky with this one.  My kids both LOVE Halloween and being "scared."  Well,  kids...they're 22 and 23 but they're very much kids at heart when it comes to having a good scare at Halloween.

The awesome thing about this set is that you can go a little creepy or you can keep it totally cute for those that don't love that.

This set comes with coordinating dies which is great!  For my trees, I stamped and colored one of them and then cut it out.  For the rest, I just used the die to cut different shades of black and gray trees.

The little sign with BOO on it is from the Spooky Wagon set from the Ai Rides Series.

The fun scene inside the door is from the MB Halloween set.

Do you see my bats? They were cut out with the dies from the set.  I then used a piece of acetate and a brad to make them "FLY" through the air.  I love an interactive card!
