October is the month for the spooky, the orange and the black, full moons and the best decorations. If you have been a scrapbooker you know the joys of all the amazing papers out there. If you have not worked with scrap book paper you are missing out. We want to introduce you to the joy of mixed media to DIY your own Halloween Miniature Paper Decorations.

This next Halloween Miniature is a great example of how to use inexpensive Collage sheets to create a really terrific decoration. The sheet used below from Artfully Musing gives you 86 images for $5.

Anne from Annes Paper Creations is from Norway. She has a video tutorial on making these cute little individual Halloween books and other oddities that can be placed together or scattered throughout to add to your other decorations. She also happens to be using Graphic 45 papers too!

You make your own labels or purchase labels from places like Etsy or even print free labels from Pinterest. It just takes your own imagination and creativity to turn any corner of your house into it’s own little spooky bit of Halloween.
