Lesson 1: UnWelcome
Create a spooky front door for the album using a piece of patterned paper and stamps!
There is nothing quite like a “Do Not Enter” sign to make us want to go inside! And when it’s a creepy old house, maybe with overgrown bushes, and “CAUTION” “KEEP OUT” signs posted… and it’s Halloween season, sometimes the temptation is just too great (at least in the movies]! This book is designed to be just that… an OLD doorway with a big warning: DO NOT ENTER! We can’t resist peeking inside! There you will find hidden chambers, a ghostly transom, boarded-up windows, and lots of useful tricks and treats for stashing all the Halloween stories inside. We will be putting all the goodies from the HALLOWS22 bundle to work to build the book and adding sequenced stamping throughout. Whether you keep your door SPOOKY and uninviting, or more welcoming to the neighboring spooks, you are going to LOVE learning clever ways to add pages, windows, open-ables, and photos inside!
