Happy Halloween!








It's the Frenzy Stamper Halloween Chunky Book - hosted by Jane Eileen! I chose to use my Rubi-Coil to bind mine. It's lucky that I bought those 2" coils because this book needed them. Some of the pages are incredibly chunky.You can see here (above) that it just doesn't want to close! The chunkiest page and one of the most fun is by RosiePosie, showing the contents of a trick or treater's bag of loot.

You can also see the top of a thick page, that was done by Karin. Her page and two others, Rosie's and Jane's which was made of fabric, just wouldn't work in my binding machine. It works with fabric about half the time but this page just wouldn't push all the way in. I used a 1/16" hole punch that even punches holes in metal to put in three holes, then inserted large jump rings. Some more jump rings attached those pages to the spiral binding. I put them in the book in random places after the rest of the pages were bound.

The next page you see is Karin's page on foamcore. My Raven page was before Rosie's so of course it would not lie flat! I'm so pleased with how it turned out. The next one you see is the black page with Happy Halloween embossed in gold at the top and a dozen inchies on steroids on the page. I've included it because it's one of my favorite pages in the book. What a lot of work! Quite a lot of embossing and inchies+ with multiple layers, many layers of paint, and lots of cut-outs. It was made by Susan Peacock. I think my favorite paper on the page is the one on the upper right corner inchie+ so I was thrilled to see it on the back of my page!

What a lot of talented people are in these swaps at Frenzy Stamper! This was the eighth one, I think. I haven't been in them all. There were other good pages, but I didn't want to go on and on. I write so many long posts that I thought I'd try to keep this one shorter.
Is it Trick or Treat time yet???
