Are you ready for Halloween celebrations tomorrow? I made some Halloween bags, which are great to fill with candy or use as gift bags. There are brown paper bags that are decorated with paper, die-cuts and ribbons. I have printed digital stamp motifs on orange cardboard, in a suitable size. It doesn't get any easier. You can find the digital stamps here Ribbons can be found here I also made a Halloween card with the same products. And here is an old Halloween layout, from Sarah's first Halloween. In the exact same rabbit costume that Isabel wore on her first...

Trick or treat 😊🎃👻 This is my decorated Halloween bucket. It is a metal box with a lid, which I have decorated with paper, stickers and ribbons. It's a great way to use up some leftovers. I cut the paper to the right size and made holes for where the handle sits. Then I ran the paper through my Xyron Creative Station to get even glue on the back. Then the paper is firmly attached.

This winter I bought 6 notebooks in different sizes of the Flying Spirit type at Ark bookshop at CC Gjøvik. I wanted to decorate these. Now I have decorated two of them, the smallest and the largest. Altered journal means altered notebook. You take an initially ordinary and perhaps not so exciting notebook and make it completely your own. Here you can decorate with whatever you want, both inside and out, and make it as personal as you want. How about putting the name of a good friend on the front and giving the book away as a gift? If...
