Halloween Skeleton Mini Tag Album

Halloween is quickly creeping up on us and it's time to start sharing our spooky Halloween mini album creations.

Wendy Cusky has a fantastic tag book to share with a scary (slightly macabre) theme to it. I love the way it turned out. The skeleton embellishment of the front is seriously ick! Just as it should be.

She has scrapped a small hostess gift tag album with a treat box "case" that she hand made for a friend. She has covered each tag with patterned paper but only embellished the front so that her friend can put bigger pictures of her Halloween party on the other pages if she wishes.

It is made using a couple of neat techniques and with a few bits and pieces including skeleton beads (bargain at $1) salvaged from a necklace, lace, spider webbing and a plastic spider. See more pics and tips on how she made her Halloween skeleton Mini Tag Album

A Halloween Mummy Mini Book

Love this Mummy mini book that was designed by Karin Kreijen. She has posted a quick tutorial with the supplies and instructions at A Daily Inspitation Blog on how to make this cute little wrapped up mummy Halloween Mini Book so be sure to head on over to check it out!

Halloween Mini Scrapbook Video Tutorial

Cute little tutorial made by Marion for a Halloween Mini album made with chipboard pages that measures around It's 4 1/2" by 6 1/2". Lots of hand cut items and embellishments. Marion's camera battery dies about half way through (don't you just hate it when that happens) so she skips to the end but it is definately still worth a look or two.
