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.

Haunted House Window from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing one of the new Windows to the World images from Art Impressions.  This one is called Haunted House Window.

I used watercolor pencils to color the image and plastic googly eyes and a spider to accent it.

On the inside I used some letters from 5072 – Block Letters Die Set

I love this set so much because you can literally create ANY word you want for your card.  I can't wait to put people's names on a card.
