It's no secret I LOVE Halloween and I especially love old Halloween photographs. So what better way to enjoy all the old Halloween photos than in a shabby, old, handmade album?
Brings back such fond memories of my dad scaring the pants off us kids with his green, bald, grotesque, old man mask!
Aah...those were the days! Love the old costumes, love the look of the old photos, love the way the album turned out!
Can't wait...it's just around the corner (along with the creepy guy wielding the machete!)
I used one of those old photo envelope cards, cut staggered pages from Cosmo Cricket papers and sewed them all down the fold of the photo card. I'm still trying to decide if I want a title on the front.
Turns out that the old photo card wasn't strong enough to hold up under the stress of the stitching (and the weight of the pages) and everything started falling apart. To reinforce the seams I glued paper, fabric and ribbons as sort of "seam bindings" to hold the pages in the book.
