My partner has a well filled out profile, so I was able to send her some of the things she liked. They aren't really in the highlighter yellow or electric blue category, but I think they worked well anyway. The wire and fruit used on the outside of the box can be taken off and she can use them for other crafts if she wants to.</strong></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAHwQS47Pz0YyTeshxKdsHGlbw1g5K21RzoXqJzmWHv_-Ix_4a-Zarhpb8iS058xCF4CB9BihkBsz3M5HLB0Fx9Co4YeB2CDHSeLqEntmbdwEQvXYbQDSps5pe_yiOYZqx-_JAHLL76QI/s1600-h/Matchbox+-+Fav+color+open+with+contents.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 398px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411037816791432706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAHwQS47Pz0YyTeshxKdsHGlbw1g5K21RzoXqJzmWHv_-Ix_4a-Zarhpb8iS058xCF4CB9BihkBsz3M5HLB0Fx9Co4YeB2CDHSeLqEntmbdwEQvXYbQDSps5pe_yiOYZqx-_JAHLL76QI/s400/Matchbox+-+Fav+color+open+with+contents.jpg" /></a></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#000099;"> </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"><strong> And here are the contents of the box. </strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"><strong> I sent things she wanted and things I thought would work. </strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"><strong> I also sent some shells because I am in Virginia Beach.</strong></span><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipjW5IMroSAjfGEimlwDt5INijJfgvlwGbRpS6tACx2JBJHAySUcvOD1q4-QYSMQ2NZ7KZEzLjSOMlHNSrKrPNtFhL8uDWvEdgFWG880lCI72D2yiBZ9VnKF6LH8B8_YwCpuRCWBWtjVw/s1600-h/Matchbox+-+Fav+color+contents.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411037811218500242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipjW5IMroSAjfGEimlwDt5INijJfgvlwGbRpS6tACx2JBJHAySUcvOD1q4-QYSMQ2NZ7KZEzLjSOMlHNSrKrPNtFhL8uDWvEdgFWG880lCI72D2yiBZ9VnKF6LH8B8_YwCpuRCWBWtjVw/s400/Matchbox+-+Fav+color+contents.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000099;"><strong>Thanks for looking.

I usually don't keep track of these things. I don' t currently have a desire to be on any design teams, so I don't have a need to know. I also can't tell you which TV station is on which channel. Or who sings that song you are listening to. If I like something, I like it. I just don't know who makes, sings or acts in it. It's one of my charms.</span></em><br /><br /><strong>Thanks for looking. If you have any questions, leave me a comment.

I used the regular cellophane goodie bags from the $ store, inserted a piece of black cardstock to provide a bit of stability and then stuffed with all sorts of goodies. Including a gross candy finger, creepy spiders, stickers, and a mouse. I had a time of it trying to get the bags stapled, so I ended up putting two staples in before I put the topper on. I actually had to take out two of the items that the girls wanted to include. I just put them in a bowl during the party and let them snack. I kept the decoration simple because the girls are just going to rip the bags open and toss them. And I needed to spend my time on the mini albums.</em></span></strong></div><div><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#330000;"></span></em></strong></div><div><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#330000;">The candy skull bracelets came in a four pack.

Fold the cover in half and punch holes for the closure ribbon. I used my Crop-a-dile. It is easier to punch these holes before you add the pages. The Crop-a-dile won't reach the center far enough to get the holes near the spine. I just kinda eyeballed it. You could measure, but it won't really make that much of a difference.</em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong><em></em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong><em>2. Fold cardstock in half and adhere background papers.</em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong><em></em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong><em>3. Fold acetate in half and layer with cardstock pages. I put cardstock, acetate, cardstock.</em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong><em></em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong><em>4. Place pages onto cover, lining up spine. Center and punch two holes for binding ribbon. You can use a binder clip to hold the pages, but I held them in place when I punched the holes.</em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong><em></em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong><em>5. Thread binding ribbon through the two holes you just punched and tie. Trim ribbon if you desire.</em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong><em></em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong><em>6. Thread closure ribbon. (see photo of album cover)</em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong><em></em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong><em>7. Now decorate. I went old school, and used white glue to get the felt spider web to stick to the felt cover. A glue dot to add the plastic spider.</em></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330000;"><em>NOTES: I used stiff felt for the covers. It's what I had in my stash. I think if I were to buy them specifically for the Halloween album I would have gotten black or orange, but I had brown, so they are brown. I think it works anyway. I made them 3 inches square instead of 2.5. The larger size sure made things easier to decorate. I couldn't staple them together because the stapler wouldn't reach, so I punched a couple of holes and tied them with matching ribbon. I fussy cut Martha Stewart felt spider web ribbon and glued to the cover. Then attached a plastic spider with a glue dot. I used Halloween papers from Michael's, Recollections. I just bought a pad of acetate and was anxious to use it, so I added clear pages. I cut the ring part off of those little plastic Halloween rings (spider and bat) and used them to embellish. I used the scraps of patterned paper to make some of the embellishments. I used Stampin' Up stamps and Studio G stamps. Punches I used: 2" circle, 1.5" circle scallop, mini tag, 2" square, and Stampin' Up ticket corner. I used Studio G inks in black, white, purple and green. They sparkle and they were only 50 cents each.</em></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330033;"><strong></strong></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#330033;"><strong>I hope this was useful.

I put books up for swap and request books I want. All for the price of postage. I posted a book from my youngest daughter. I got a request for it and sent it off. A few days later I got a reply that I had made several young girls very happy. (Insert big smiley face here.) After several emails, I had decided to make and send scrapbooking supplies to these young girls. They are in a home for children who have been removed from their homes for different reasons. Then, as I am apt to do, I kept thinking that a scrapbook would be a better, more finite project for these girls. So I am making and sending 14 kits to these girls. They are split into 2 groups. Younger and older. Yesterday I made the kits for the younger girls.</strong></span></div><br /><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">The front page in the album will have punched out letters.
