The Rest of the Pages for my Chunky Chipboard Halloween album

Okay this is a continuation of my chipboard album that i've been working on this past week.  I can't wait to get to get it complete. Here are the rest of the pages that i've Created.

This Gate is a Resin gate from The Paper Studio that i've painted with black and added Green Inka Gold to the outside for shimmer. I used some Ephemera (owl) from the Alpha Stamp collection Collage sheet that i bought. The fence is a Die Cut die that i had in my stash.  The little mouse is on a piece of embossed metal that i bought on clearance and distressed.  

This is the inside tag photo mount. The paper is from Echo Park Chillingsworth collection. The tag closes with a hidden magnet.

I found this awesome Rat at our local Micheals store. I thought that he would make a great tuck.  The Banner at the bottom is also a tuck that you can add photo's etc... to.  

 I painted my metal Filigree piece in black and then added some gold Rub n Buff to it to distress it.

On this page i used a piece of Wood chipboard that i found at Michaels and painted it black.  The image on the black tombstone is from Ephemera's Vintage Garden.  The Skeleton card is from the Chillingsworth Collection paper by Echo Park. The fence at the bottom is also a tuck for pictures, tags etc....

On this page i've embossed a Sizzix die frame in silver and added Black acrylic paint to distress it.  The Bats are part of a die set that i own.  I put acetate on the inside of the frame and the frame is open at the top to add a picture or more tags. I found that little clothespin embellishment from our Walmart.

I have totally enjoyed Creating this album from start to finish.  I still need to add some ribbon to the top of the tags and add some fibers to the ring holding it all together but for the most part it is complete.

Couple Pages in Mixed Media Chipboard Halloween album

I have had a blast working on this Halloween chipboard Album! Today i want to share a couple of inside pages that i've completed.  If you missed the Cover and the Back of my album that i've already posted, make sure to take a look at them. 

On this page i used some of my awesome Die-cuts that i own including a Sizzix Fence Die and a Memory Box Grand oak tree die. The paper is from Chillingsworth Manor stack by Echo Park.

I used a Spider web die as a tuck for this page.  You can add tags, Photo's etc... behind the Web. 

The Spiders i found at the Michaels in the Halloween section by Tim Holtz Idea-ology Gothic stickers. The Skull image i found as a freebie on Pinterest.

This is a Wooden Spider Web that i painted with Black Acrylic Paint.  Paper is also from Echo Park and the stickers are Tim Holtz "Gothic" Spiders. The Journal cards are from Ephemera's Vintage Garden and the Paper Stack.
