Dollar Tree googly eyes and felt witch hats and witch boots I couldn’t find in their stores this year

Making Memories brads and stick-ons also no longer available, sorry

I cut a strip of green cardstock and cut it to 3/4″ x 5 3/4″ then poked holes 3/4″ and 1 1/2″ from either end so the brads would be in the same spot on both ends. I added one of the big skeleton heads onto the green paper and put matching googly eyes on the skeleton with Tombow Mono Aqua glue. I added tear tape to the back of the green strip and added wet glue as well so I could wiggle the strip if I laid it in the wrong spot. I laid the strip on the front of the album to cover where I overlapped papers when I added magnets.. I added the word Boo near the top of the outside then went into the album.

I wanted to put in mats for photos and normally photos are 4 x 6″ but since my album is only 6″ wide, I had to make my mats 4 x 5 3/4″. On the 5 x 5″ pocket inserts, I put mats that were 4 3/4″ x 4 3/4″. I didn’t put any decorations on these because I wanted them to slide in and out of the pockets easily.

I used stickers from the K & Company set on the photo mats near the bottom so the stickers didn’t interfere with the photo spots. I could have added more decorations, but felt I added enough to make it cute.

I’ll be making a Christmas, Easter, and first birthday album, and then make a box to slide all of them into it…I’ll be making a video to show you all of this.
