Halloween Mini Album

I had a Halloween mini album up on the Crafting Ireland blog last Tuesday!

It was the second of two projects I had completed for the last issue. The first project was the "Boo Crew" layout I shared a few posts back. And I mentioned in that post how I had to rip that entire layout apart and start over because of an error. Well, I was two for two this month.
This mini had a few issues of it's own...
If you look carefully on the right side of the right page, you can see where I had accidentally punched holes on the wrong side! So frustrating.
I have more photos and a little tutorial on their blog. You can see the entire post *Here*.

And I just want to say thank you for all of the Happy Anniversary wishes on my Friday post. I didn't get around to all the blogs I wanted to this weekend, but I definitely will today!
We had such a busy weekend!
On our actual anniversary, Mike came home with a rose for me and ingredients to cook me dinner.

And then he surprised me with tickets for Game Six at Busch Stadium in a suite where we saw them beat the Dodgers 9-0! On to the World Series :)
And another favorite part of the weekend was our annual trip out to Fright Fest at Six Flags...
my favorite characters were there :) Along with Evan, my niece Madi, and Erin.
And my sister and mom. A photo of the three of us. We haven't had one together in a while. My dad, Mike and sister's two boys were also there. It was a pretty fun night. Not too spooky or as cold as I feared.

How was your weekend?

  10. Cute mini and a belated happy anniversary. Fright Fest looks fun! :) A lot friendlier than Halloween Horror Nights. I have to avert my eyes even for the commercials. Not my scene at all!

  12. A Cute mini...perhaps you can add a border to hide the extra holes...or punch a whole row of them to create a pattern or add another shape punch to create a fun pattern...Ok out of ideas now!
