~Hello Thursday-Halloween Album Cover *Nikki Sivils*~

Good morning!

I finally was able to sit down and finish my Halloween album cover.
I made this Nikki Sivils collage layout a couple months ago with
the intent to make an album cover, but it took me this long
to go buy an actual album LOL
Lately I am finding myself heading back to the original trustworthy
glues and sealants as I have had projects falling apart left and right.
*Very embarrassing*
Mod Podge is always 100% dependable for me...I mean hello
I think my mother even used it! LOL

I love the newer Mod Podge that is Shimmer and Glitter.
You can see I tested a shimmer spot, then decided to go with the
gold glitter, I liked the shimmer but thought the gold would
look better with this projects. I love that it not only glues but
also seals in one coat, no gluing then sealing.
First I coated the whole album in glitter Mod Podge,
then I stuck the collage layout down.

After that I coated the entire project in glitter Mod Podge
and set aside to dry.
You can see the glittery goodness, this gold glitter Mod Podge
is very holographic and it rocks! Yes Mod Podge Rocks! LOL
Of course I used my handy dandy i-rock for the gems, I know they will
be on this cover FOREVER! LOL
I am thinking I will customize all my albums now.

Sorry no chicken pictures this morning
(I know they have been requested and I am working on it.)
Today I am helping a friend move, or rather watching the boys
and hubby help them move LOL
My back has been to bad to help, maybe I can bring a meal~

That's all for me today ♥♥
~Thanks for stopping by and chatting at me~
♥Every day I sot down and read every comment♥
~Have an amazing Thursday~
~See y'all tomorrow~

~Crafty Thursday...Halloween is coming, why not make an album?!~

Good morning my crafty friends!

Can you believe how close Halloween is?
I usually make all of our costumes and if I want
to again this year I better get to stitching!
We don't even have a family theme yet?! *gasp*

On Facebook Nikki Sivils had a contest and I
decided to play along, to my surprise I won!
When I got the paper I decided it would make the PERFECT
scrapbook album COVER.I am going to glue this onto a BLACK Halloween
scrapbook album, then coat it with a crackle medium
and seal it down to the album.
I thought it would be a fun album cover and I would
have a special album for all of our themed costumes!
I have totally been into Glossy Accents lately and I went
crazy once again! I used it on the hearts *every other one*
on the mask, on the frame of the "FUN" die cut,
and on the H in Halloween. Oh and of course my handy
dandy i-rock tool to add the black and white gems!! WOOT!
I also have been digging my Cricut lately.
I used the French Manor Cartridge to make the
label die cut and the alpha is with the Cricut too!
I know i am not your traditional Cricut girl
but I have been trying to create outside the Cricut Box
in keeping with my funky, crazy style.

I have more projects to share this week *yea*
Still waiting on the video to be posted online.
Today I am home making scalloped potatoes and ham.
I sure get int he cookin' mood when the rain hits :)

I baked home made bread yesterday and banana bread too.
It's good to be in the rain.

~Happy Thursday y'all!~
~Have a great day~
