Halloween Workshop
ps I didn't have the new SU! paper on hand for these samples, so your projects will be a whole lot cuter (and more colorful)!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFx2mNDxVmDquboxivwfNzD2IeJNvHI0njDfBw5Kqm0Z7fATrFNphPc2nxkXQZ3EptMJpLsghMPVnQFHEd4KMRt99XA2SNRMv2BTNU4QUxAMMJoxBEbaX3GHSorsnpnRNfQ2Tnhiqt0z02/s320/HP+6+in+box.jpg)
This little holder is the perfect size for snack-sized Kit Kats or 4 crayons (thanks, Darcy, for the brilliant idea!). One paper pack yields 72 boxes. Additional supplies: 12" trimmer with scoring blade, adhesive, black, orange, and white paper (approx. 4 sheets of each, or purchase from me for $.35 ea)
Drink Holder Hanger:

Purse Mini-Album
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRo4AYpVoBN3vLCrAnuitHB2qDOR5Y9YZMiCkl42x1ampAiMiP7aPX13nHEvQD0oButk7ij1E60_F78UbKFXw4b5nGU2srZBsMzbNtrbtua9as5tEovwI5n-8vP0rBC14cDuYUIaArTkkA/s320/just+us+fanned.jpg)

The book is made from two covered pieces of book board and 4 badge holders (with the holes trimmed off), and bound with a screw post. Confession: I didn't end up using the ones I purchased for this project as the book was too thick for them. I used some posts that I had saved from a broken post-bound album. Funny that I saved them, yet didn't figure out what I could use them for until I had bought new ones! Finished size is 2 5/8" x 3 3/4", perfect for tossing into a purse. Each photo is backed by a collage of the boys' favorite things right now (subject to change weekly, so it's neat to capture this small moment in their lives).
Stampin' Up! sets used: Stamp of Authenticity, Genuine Articles, Letterpress Alphabet, Classic Alphabet (all retired--all great sets, what were they thinking?!)

Time to get going on an art journal. . .so many project ideas, so little time. . .
