Construction Files & Videos - No. 31 Haunted Lane

Hello everyone!

I finally have all the construction videos for No. 31 Haunted Lane edited and posted to YouTube.  There are quite a few - 23 not including the introduction.

Please don't be intimidated by the number of videos. Granted if you are new to paper crafting and chipboard construction, this should not be your first project.  That being said, I hope that between the files and videos I have provided sufficient details and explanations to make the project not only manageable, but a lot of fun to create.

The blog post on August 31, 2015 includes lots of photos and a link to the completed project video.

No. 31 Haunted Lane

Hello everyone!

I've just finished a Halloween project which I am calling "No. 31 Haunted Lane".

It is a Victorian Style house designed with lots of construction details - tower, dormer, porches, etc.

It features the 2015 Halloween paper line from Graphic 45 - "Rare Oddities". I used both the 12x12 and 6x6 paper pads.

But as you'll see in a minute, the project is much more than the house - it opens up on the left and right to showcase niches with little Halloween oddities and 31 little treat drawers to countdown the days from October 1st to Halloween.

Acorn Fairy House

Hello everyone!  I have a new project to share with you... it is a little fairy house in a garden setting that I am calling the Acorn Fairy House.

The project features Graphic 45 Deluxe Collector's Edition "Once Upon a Springtime",  This was one of my favorite paper collections and I was so thrilled when Graphic 45 re-released it earlier this year.

The acorn house is large enough to store a small book or mini album in the inside.  The windows all have lights and you can catch a glimpse of a fairy if you peek inside.

There are places for the fairies to relax and play in the gardens around their house.

A lantern hangs from a large mushroom near the entrance to the garden to light the path to the fairies home.
