Materials:
6 Halloween photos
12 x 12 orange paper
12 x 12 black paper
12 x 12 spider web printed-paper
12-inch wave/curve cutter
Oval shape cutter
Circle shape cutter
Jack-o-lantern face stencil
Jolee's Halloween candy stickers
Black marker
Corner rounder
Photo adhesive
Scissors/paper trimmer
Silver metallic journaling pen
Step 1:
Cut a 2 3/4" strip off one side of the orange paper. Use the wavy cutter to cut waves into the right 12-inch side. Mount along the left of the page with straight 12-inch side to the left edge of the page using photo adhesive.
Step 2:
Cut a 4-inch strip off one side of the black paper. Use the wave cutter to trim the left 12-inch edge of the strip. Mount the strip approximately 1 inch over from the orange strip, leaving the white of the page showing through.
Step 3:
Cut a 4 1/4" strip off the spider web printed paper. Use the curve cutter to cut the left 12-inch edge of the strip and then mount with the right 12-inch edge of the strip along the right edge of the page and the left edge overlapping the black strip.
Step 4:
Trim and shape cut the photos. From the two smallest ones, cut one circle and one oval shape. Do the same for the two medium size ones, and then cut two rectangle shapes. Round the corners off the two rectangle shaped photos.
Step 5:
Using photo adhesive, mount the medium size oval photo in the top of the black strip with the edge slightly overlapping the white area. Add the smaller oval shaped photo at the bottom left, overlapping the orange, white, and black strips. Mount the larger rectangle photo down and to the right of the medium oval. You want to have the left edge of the photo overlap the black strip — but have the majority over the printed paper. Add the larger circle shaped photo slightly overlapping the bottom left corner. Mount the small circle shaped photo on the bottom of the page crossing the white and black strips. Mount the small rectangle shaped photo in the bottom right corner of the page.
Step 6:
Use the jack-o-lantern face stencil and the black marker to make three different jack-o-lantern faces down the orange strip on the left of the page. Place one at the top, one in the middle and one at the bottom of the strip. If you mess up don't panic, just make the faces on orange paper and cut out and mount over the top of the mistakes.
Step 7:
Use the silver metallic journaling pen to write Happy Halloween on the black strip. Have the word Happy tilted going up the strip, and the word Halloween tilted going down.
Step 8:
Use the Jolee's Halloween candy stickers to embellish the left middle of the page, placed on the orange and white strips.
