[hmm--where did that black string in the photo come from?]

 I was so excited to design these Halloween pages.  I used the Batty for You stamp set,  the Alphabet Simple Letters die cuts, the Two Tags die cut, and the Pumpkin #4 Sizzlits die.

 These scrapbook pages feature 3 of the new In-Colors:  Dusty Durango, Soft Suede and Crushed Curry in the textured cardstock.  I used the Sizzix Leaves #2 die cut, Texture Plates Kit #4 and Naturally Serif Sizzlets alphabet decorative strip die.

Let me know if you have any questions on how these pages were made or if you want to order the supplies to make them.

I bought five of these lined notebooks a long time ago and stashed them away.  They have thick linen-like covers with a silver metal square on the front.  While making things for a craft fair in December, I made this one.  I couldn’t sell it because it reminded me of my mom’s manual typewriter, which I still have.  I remember playing with it when I was little.  And some of you may gasp, but I learned to type on a manual typewriter and loved it when electric typewriters were invented! 

To alter this notebook, I used Puns from the Past and stamped the typewriter in basic black and the eraser in basic gray.  Added the Canvas background in basic gray, stamped off once to get a lighter image.  Distressed the edges and sponged in basic black ink.  Stamped versamark ink and poured clear embossing powder to seal the images.  Adhered with sticky strip and added a library clip.  Tied a variety of ribbons on the spiral and viola!
