One of our recent projects was an altered carte de visite Halloween book. We each altered 5 cdv's (small antique photographs) and I bound them into books for each of us. The spectacular spider ribbon charms were made by Karla, one of the contributing artists.
Aren't they wonderfully spooky?
A couple of my artist friends involved in this project gifted me with pieces of their artwork...the best kind of gift one can receive!
Thank you Karla! These are such amazing treats!
I'm absolutely in love with my altered Halloween book!

As a lover of all things vintage and especially vintage Halloween, I was thrilled upon opening this gorgeous wall hanging from Kimberly.
Thank you Kimberly! It's already found a treasured place on my living room wall!
And this is just the beginning.
Lots more Halloween creations coming. If you'd like a sneak peek, check out our group photo gallery HERE.
The last two swaps for 2012, both holiday themed, are also posted and open to signups!

What a beautiful post...thank you for loving everything I put together for you and the group. I can not wait to see the CDV book.
Kim's hanging is bewitching for sure....
as I see the box, I noticed I forgot to put a closure on the lace to hold it shut...I had a velcro button! darn...oh well I am just glad you like it.
XOXO Karla

Oh JoAnne, you lucky gal! Karla and Kimberly are both so very gifted! Oh my goodness, you will not believe all of the goodies Karla sent me in our matchbox swap. I am still discovering new items in it. ;-) All of the witch cards are gorgeous! Hugs sweetie.
