I started a handmade Halloween photo album seven years ago. I have lots of pages, but I just never put it together. I decided to add a photo inside of a pumpkin to one of the pages. The pumpkin will open as if it were a jack-o-lantern. Just slide the top off and there's that little stinker
Materials:
Decorative papers
Photo
Paper Pumpkin - I used a photo of a pumpkin I made at least 1 1/2" wider than the photo
Aleene's Double Stick Tacky Sheets
Scissors
|
I started with a small photo of my grandson, a lovely grouping of decorative papers, Aleene's Double Stick Tacky Sheets and a photo of a pumpkin.
Before trimming the photo cut a piece of the Tacky Sheet as big as the untrimmed photo.
Peel off one side of the Tacky Sheet and affix it to the back of the photo. |
|
|
|
Cut the top off the pumpkin, making sure that the width of the top is at least as wide as the photo. |
|
|
|
Lay the top of the pumpkin on a piece of yellow paper and trace.
Cut the yellow paper and stick to the back of the pumpkin top, offset as it is in this photo. |
|
|
|
Sandwich the photo between a sliver of the top of the pumpkin and a piece of pumpkin colored paper.
Measure the width of the photo on the back of the pumpkin and add Tacky Sheet to the outside of the photo. |

Brilliant idea for an interactive scrap page! I would never have thought to do this, but I'm definitely going to "borrow" your idea for my nephew's Halloween pages :) You give me so much inspiration!
