Halloween is nearly here and we're all set to capture your spookiest memories with Haunted Hollow from American Crafts. Frightening spiders, plump pumpkins, and creepy creatures are presented in classic Halloween colors: festive orange, jet-black, dark gray, and antique cream. Plan the perfect party or create spooky cards and layouts with Haunted Hollow!
Included in this festive collection are 12 double-sided patterned papers and a host of enchanting embellishments, including decorative tags, stickers, die-cut shapes, and wood veneer. Complete your collection with two convenient papers pads and coordinating Thickers.
This week we're going to feature this most spooktacular line, beginning with a betwitching layout by Paige Evans (Blog: Paige Evans | Instagram: @paigetaylorevans | Pinterest: @paigeevans | Twitter: @PaigeTEvans):
Supplies: Haunted Hollow (368904) - 12x12 Paper Pad, Haunted Hollow (368677) - 6x12 Stickers, Haunted Hollow (368675) - Ephemera, Haunted Hollow (368676) - Bits Tags, Haunted Hollow (368680) - Wood Veneer, AC for Target stars, epoxy cat sticker, and sequins
How to: Stitch two lines using black thread down and across a ledger paper from the 12x12 patterned paper pack to start a grid base. Add four photos to the grid then adhere a tag to the remaining five spaces. Layer on creepy embellishments like die cuts, stickers, sequins, wood veneer, and more, to each section. Drop India ink around the layout and use number stickers to document the year.
Here's a chance to win a Haunted Hollow prize pack - leave a comment on this post and tell us what you or your children or grandchildren, nieces or nephews, or someone you know, are planning to dress up as for Halloween! Winner will be picked and announced on Friday's post - good luck!
Superheros are all the rage with little guys it seems and my grandson is no exception, so that's what it will be for Halloween this year!

My nephew and his wife are having their annual Halloween and Birthday party, since her birthday is so near Halloween. First the children locally are invited in for a party with their parents, then they go home and the adult party starts. She's dressing up as a witch and he's going to be a zombie.
I don't have any Halloween craft stash except a little bit of paper and some die cuts. Love your collection and thank you for the chance to win.
