Fun and Quick Photo Book

Normally I am a layout girl, but with Halloween fast approaching, I have been feeling very crafty. I think it must be all the super cute decorations I see as I am driving through my neighborhood. Or maybe it is the stack of adorable Cottage Cutz Halloween dies sitting on my scrapbook table to inspire me every time I sit down to work. Whatever it is, I wanted to create something a little different today.

I purchased some of those $1.00 plastic photograph albums in Walmart the other day to use for brag books. Well, of course the covers that come in those are weird and not very fun. So I pulled out the front piece of paper and covered it up and this was the result...

I used velvety brown paper to cut the piece of caramel for the top of my apple. Then I sprayed it with a mixture of perfect pearls (*tip coming soon!!*) to give it some sparkle like real caramel. Now you just slip the new and improved into the plastic sleeve and voila - quick and easy upgrade to an otherwise boring photo holder. I scanned my new cover so that you could see the caramel apple detail better.

Cottage Cutz dies just make everything better!! Get your orders in now for your Christmas Cottage Cutz dies and be sure to include the Limited Edition Gingerbread House and Christmas Shoppe in your basket! You don't want to miss out on these for sure!
