Moonlight Halloween Wall Hanging

Woo Hoo!  It is Friday and I am looking forward to spending the weekend with my grandson, AJ.  But first I wanted to share my Halloween wall hanging that I have made for a special Birthday gathering that my friend, Adria, is having. I used the Close to My Heart 6" x 6" My Creations Memory Showcase (Z1195) as the base for my wall hanging.

Imagine your favorite Halloween photos on each of the panels of this wall hanging.  I haven't chosen mine yet, but I will.  I love hanging pictures of my kids and grandkids in my scrapbooking room.  They make me happy.


I have the hardest time getting a good picture outside of my light box, especially on a dreary day.  Unfortunately  this project will not fit into my light box.  So let me share individual pictures of each part of my wall hanging.


I made this project using the Close to My Heart Moonlight paper pack (X7161B) and the Moonlight Complements Dimensional Elements (X7161C).  The Moonlight Complements Dimensional Elements are a great deal.  You get 2 sheets of "chipboard stickers" with sentiments, bats, ghosts, witches and all kinds of scary Halloween creatures for $4.95.

I designed this wall hanging to be an easy project that a beginner could put together.  There is no stamping or inking of edges. I just love how it came together.


On the second panel I used our new Silver Shimmer Trim (Z1799) to add a little pizzaz to this page.  The Spooky was cut out using the CTMH Cricut Artiste Cartridge (Z1790).  Check out my sly little kitty.  Her eyes are highlighted by Black Sparkles from our Sparkles Black and Grey Collection (Z1754).  All of my Moonlight Dimensional Elements are popped up with 3-D Foam tape to give them some added dimension.  I  just hate flat chipboard.  Popping them up also gives you a little more wiggle room for your photos.


On panel number 3, I cut the banner shape out with the Circut Artiste.  You cannot see it well, but the orange patterned paper banner is matted with black cardstock.  Check out the super cute Skull brads at the top corners of the banner.  For added Spookiness I added red sparkles from the Sparkles Red, Pink and Purple Collection (Z1326) in the skulls' eyes. The skull brads are from the Haunted Assortment (Z1741).


On the last panel, I just had to use the witch flying across the top of the page on her broomstick.  I attached the bat to the sentiment with Liquid Glass (Z679).  Liquid Glass is my all time favorite adhesive.  It is so strong and once my embellishment is glued down with the Liquid Glass it is not coming up - good choice for a wall hanging.


And one of my favorite parts of my wall hanging is this cute little banner streamer.  I used the banners in the Moonlight Dimensional Elements and adhered them with Liquid Glass to our black Baker's twine (Z1701).  Then I adhered them to the base of the Memory Showcase before I glued down the paper on the fourth panel.  I think it makes this wall hanging.
