Since I'm going as the Wicked Witch and Leigh is going as Glinda the Good Witch, we thought the Flying Monkey print was very appropriate. Leigh's bff, Christine is coming as Dorothy and Leigh's dad is going to be the Tin Man!
(Don't pay attention to the crooked frame!!! UGH! It's hard enough to get photos of these, with all the glare and poor lighting, and then the frame is crooked!!!!)
I've also included the templates for you to use. I printed them as 8x10 photos on to regular printer paper to make sure they were centered correctly. Then I tore out the book page and adhered it on top of the printed page with a glue stick and printed another copy on to the book page. Then I just popped it in to my 8 1/2 x 11 frames. So easy and quick!
All I need now is a burlap banner on the tree print that says "Spooky". I'm going to try wax paper templates for the letters. I've seen it on other blogs, but haven't attempted it yet.
Mom suggested that I make some book page prints for Thanksgiving and Christmas too! Great idea and I'm already thinking up ideas.
Wishing you all a wonderful week! Stop back in this week for the unveiling of our 2013 Halloween Mantel. We can't wait to show it off!

I love this. What a great idea and I really love your printables. I have been inspired -- thanks so much, I think I will be Crafty in Crosby too - ha ha. Following you now.
ReplyDeleteLOL Rhonda!! So glad you like them and thanks for the follow!

Thanks so much Crystelle! Well, I kind of designed them. The hand graphic came from the Graphics Fairy, and I found the Skull and the Flying Monkey on google. The spider web and all the words are straight out of PicMonkey. If you haven't used PicMonkey I would highly recommend it. It is a free program (does have a pay version too) to create and edit photos in. Thanks so much for dropping in and come back soon!
DeleteI am 59 and have been deathly afraid of the flying monkeys for most of my life. However I do like these book pages. They would make great greeting cards.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea Donna!!! I'm going to make some and will give all the credit to you! Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteSo cool! Now if I could only find some nicely yellowed book pages, I'd be set! Love these! :)

Try a thrift shop or used book store. We've had these for ages. You could also age pages - here's a great tutorial - http://www.myfabulesslife.com/2011/12/aged-book-page-garland.html I haven't tried it yet but it looks pretty easy. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWhat a great idea - love printing onto old book pages!
