Spooky Book

Unibind Photobook Creator on facebook had a contest last week - several people including me won a book cover and some dinotalk paper.  The winners were asked to create a spooky book by noon on Friday.

I recorded my spooky sounds and attached the dinotalk paper to the front of the album. 

 
I covered the dinotalk with a sheet of patterned paper and put a purple square over the play button.

I used pictures I had on hand from my grandsons' trip to the pumpkin patch last year. I can add more pages after halloween when I get this year's pictures.

My finished book.

Fall

This layout of my grandsons' visit to the pumpkin patch in 2009 is based on the sketch at Sketchy Thursdays and the inspiration challenge at Papercraft Star. The pumpkin embellishment is for the curled paper challenge at Scrappin-N-Chattin.
