Happy Halloween, Mr Mummy!

Happy Halloween, Mr Mummy!

mummycover4web-1390921mummypg14web-2176426I am generallly soooo not into Halloween (this year I’m ok with the cutsie, silly stuff), but I saw this idea on a Bind It All group I belong to and had to copy it… she copied it from a post she saw on twopeasinabucket.com, too. LOL! Anyway… I finally sat down and decompressed a little bit with some crafting tonight before a meeting I had at my house for church stuff. (Big huge change coming in my life… details a little later, maybe tomorrow.)

This cute little guy is a 4×4″ chipboard and cardstock book. I handcut 4″ chipboard covers (my Bind It All covers are not here yet) and painted them with black paint, then covered with black cs (inside of covers) and white textured cs, torn and inked in black for the outside covers.

The inside base pages are cardstock that I cut 3 7/8″ square and then created pages on them with various cardstocks and embellishments. Mini books are so much fun and relatively fast to make once you decide on the paper combos.

  1. LOVE IT!! That book is FABULOUS! Too fun 🙂 I keep trying to convince myself I don’t NEED a BIA, but projects like yours are killing me. Maybe for Christmas.

  2. I love this too. Wow, I could make the kids personalized notebooks for school! I don’t know what these cost but I know they are out of my range right now because the budget is too tight already! TFS your cute artwork.

  3. It’s gonna get scraplifted again! But, I don’t have my BIA here in Texas, so I might have to use a different binding. I’ve got some “google” just perfect for the cover.
