Inside a collection of spooky ooky bits
I've kept the little spaces pretty simple and haven't cluttered them up too much since they'll be covered by the house exterior most of the time.
The papers I used for the background are the Tim Holtz 8x8 Kraft Paper Stash. I like them a whole bunch! The simple black and orange patterns are nice and functional and easy to coordinate.
If you know me at all, you know I'm a bit lazy when it comes to hinges. I've opted to not have hinges in this piece at all and simply use a length of ribbon that is tied around the back and hold the front of the front facade in place.
Mine is filled with just a mish-mash of halloween images, but it would be a load of fun to create a themed house. A vampire abode. A monster mansion. Or maybe even include pics of your own family members in their Halloween regalia.

Perfection Nichola! Ahhh look at the calendar. . . here we go again. . . this holiday is coming and going WAY TOO FAST! I want to have months to explore all the wonderful spooky possibilities of the season and indulge in stories, myths and rituals. . . but we are already on to custom winter and Christmas pieces. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic creation. You can change the box compartments from year to year to create something new. Love the front facade of the building, it's flawless!
