Altered Book Cover

Hi: As you know I'm always looking for challenges. Lately I've been leaving things until the last minute. This isn't good because I tend to get into my projects and time gets away from me. This altered cover I was making for 2 challenges. OOP's missed a deadline, because I got into making the pages. ugh. Fortunately one of the challenges - Simon Says Monday Challenge ( http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/) is still open. This weeks challenge is anything goes. I altered this Tim Holtz cover using his Paper Stash collection. Hope you like it!! This is the front cover. This is the inside of the cover and some of the pages

Haunted ATC cards

Hi All: While on Facebook I was invited to join a group called the Craft Hole. It is more like a crafting community, so far I love it. I'm a rookie so I'm trying to feel my way through. There are administrator's that find and assign the challenges. I like this because it takes me out of my comfort zone. I've heard of ATC cards but it wasn't something I'd ever done. Here's my first attempt.
