Photos, photos everywhere but, not a drop of ink!

Hi All, yesterday my mum took the kids for me so I thought I would crack on and get the photos printed for my boyfriends' Grandmas' album. I've sorted which pictures I'm using and the sizes they need to be so I was ready to just get on with it and print them. Well, I managed to print off three and that was it...my ink had run out! This album is determined not to get finished. Her birthday is on Thursday so I'm going to have to go and buy some ink today. So that's another £30 gone, sigh!

One good thing to come out of it though is I had the perfect excuse to play with one of the other albums I've started lol. I decided to continue decorating the front cover of my Halloween album. I've taken some photos and thought I would share them with you so you can see the progress I'm making.

 In the picture below I've tried to tilt it so that you can see the parts that are glossy, shimmery and sparkly lol.

The roses we're the wrong colour originally so I sprayed them with Haunted Shadows glimmer mist and I was really happy with how they turned out. The title of the album is stamped in Black Soot distress ink and I then embossed it with Enchanted Gold by Papermania. I made a little tag and used my stub corner chomper so it looked a bit like a ticket. For the colour I sprayed it with the Haunted Shadows and darkened it a bit more with Black Soot. I had a stamp that said "You're Invited" but I would have had to make a much bigger tag so in the end I just wrote it on and I think it worked quite well. I thought the tree was looking a bit plain so I got my stickles and lightly "frosted" the branches. It doesn't show up very well in the pictures but, it does look quite effective. Lastly, I stamped the image of a spider with black StazOn and stuck it to a Tim Holtz Fragment and hung it off the spine.

Thanks for looking

Vicki
