"Spooktober: Everyday Magic" Sneak Peek and October Daily Class Announcement

Hello fairytale friends!!! It's Andrea Bethke, here, and today, I am so very excited to share with you our new Halloween collection and October Daily class of the same name, "Spooktober: Everyday Magic"!

I have wanted to do another October Daily class since I did "13 and 31" several years ago, and it's so wonderful to get a chance to share this special, magical and spooktacularly fun project with you all! And as you know, Halloween-time is my absolutely favorite time of year, and in addition to documenting it, I also really love creating a special Halloween themed collection for you all each year. And this year I decided to create twice the amount of magic for you by making both a standard size Fairytale Club Halloween collection called "Spooktober: Everyday Magic", and also an "add-on" collection that coordinates called "Spookyland". While "Spooktober" is definitely fairytale/Disney inspired (I was specifically inspired by the Disney Channel movie series "Halloweentown"), the add-on collection, "Spookyland," is super duper inspired by the Happiest Place on Earth and the whole Dis-Halloween aesthetic!

I will be going live on instagram @thefairytaleclub at 6:30 pm PST to chat more about the Halloween collections for this year and the October Daily class I will be teaching throughout the month of October (which will be using the "Spooktober" kit as well as the "Spookyland" add-on), and I will go into more detail then.😊 I hope to see you there! And in the meantime, please enjoy this fun sneak peek image of the new collection, "Spooktober: Everyday Magic"!

P.S. The full reveal will be very soon so stay tuned to our website, blog, and social media for that later this month. Happy Halloween everybody!!!!!!!!!!

Huuuugs and Happy Scrapping!,

Oct Daily Journal Bag Insert with Carrie

Hello Everybody. Carrie here with an insert for my October Daily album using the I’m In Wonderland Kit along with some Halloween treat bags from Target.

I have a few different treat style bags and always enjoy when I’m able to add them into my scrapbooks. When I saw these Halloween treat bags at Target this year I was hoping I’d find a way to add them into my October Daily. It just so happens that the small planner pages will fit inside the bag if you trim the width ever so slightly. So I picked out the small planner page with the yellow notebook paper design and placed it inside my bag. This is where I’ll add some journaling to go with the adjoining photos. I”ll probably also add a photo to cover the whole back as well.

Next, I knew I wanted to use the silver glitter aphas from the kit, so I added “OCT” directly onto the front of the bag. I also found the vellum “happy” and vellum red heart from the ephemera packs and layered them using glue dots with the glitter alphas.

To embellish the little ghost on the front of my bag, I tried a few different die cuts from the ephemera pack (which all looked super cute), and ultimately decided on the Mad Hatter hat. For a little extra embellishment I layered the “Eat Me” flair towards the top of the die cut. I used glue dots again to attach both to the bag. To finish off the bag I placed some different colored rhinestones and puffy candy corn stickers from my stash.

On the opposite page I placed a 3x4 card from one of the cut apart sheets and added a sliver glitter heart from the alphas to the center. Next, I used yellow embroidery thread and sewed around the yellow arrow on the card. The photos on this page are from last year, and just serving as place holders until I add photos from this October. Adding in this 3x4 card now should help me tie in and use the bag insert later.

For the same reason I also added the black and white heart with blue color block paper from the kit and cut it down to 6x12. Adding it in behind the bag helps tie it all together too. I may end up doing a layout on this paper or just adding a number for the day. To coordinate with the embroidery thread on the opposite page I also added in some blue thread along the line where the blue meets the white and black hearts…..and that’s it for this project for now.

Thanks for taking a look and I’ll see you next time : ) Carrie

Laura's October Daily

Hello everyone, it's Laura here to share some pages from my October Daily project that I've been working on. I've been having some health challenges this month, and one of the ways I've simplified my scrapbooking is by downsizing. I'm using a 4x4 mini album, and I love that Andrea's kit works for this size too.

To start the month, I folded down one of the calendar dividers and cut a slit in the side so it could fold up into my album. The smaller planner divider size works well in 4x4 albums this way.

I've been especially enjoying using the die cut packs that came with the kit. Sprinkled throughout my album, they give the whole thing consistency. I also like using the B side of the planner pages as simple patterns for journaling or backgrounds.

On this page I've used one of the planner dividers, cut it down, and used the lines for journaling about a special trip to the pumpkin patch. I also love how the pompom paperclip peeks through from the next page. Those might be my favorite part of the whole kit! For me, albums this size are a great chance to play with layers and pages outside the page protector.

Thanks to Andrea for creating such a versatile and beautiful October kit! And I hope you all are having a wonderful October!
