Frame your Halloween memories in eerie stickers and paper patterns from the Chillingsworth Manor Collection from Echo Park Paper Co. This stylish Halloween scrapbooking kit combines all the spookiest themes in an artful collection that will perfectly capture the spirit of All Hallows Eve. The kit contains 12 double-sided scrapbook papers and 2 pages of stickers, including a coordinating alphabet.

Chillingsworth Manor uses an elegant Halloween color palette of black, pumpkin orange, parchment white, and a sickly chartreuse reminiscent of a witch's brew or apothecary's concoction. The trendy apothecary theme is carried throughout the collection. The sticker page includes "Poison"  and "Elixir" labels, pill bottles, and several other unusual jars holding spiders. The collection even includes a paper pattern titled Apothecary Labels, which can all be cut out and pasted to jars, boxes, and other items to make creepy Halloween decorations.The Dictionary print, a textbook page sprinkled with black and white drawings of human anatomy and unsavory creatures, looks just the sort of book you'd find lying open on an apothecary's table. If the apothecary shop isn't to your liking, Chillingsworth Manor also brings you plenty of elements and pages from the coven. Shakespearean quotes about witches and wickedness fill the stickers, along with sayings like "Cast a Spell" and "Every little thing she does is magic." Rats, frogs, bats, and black cats, the familiars of frightening wizards, fill the pages and stickers.

While the collection draws on classically creepy themes for its spookiness, Chillingsworth Manor gets its elegance from more refined designs. The name Chillingsworth Manor suggests a haunted mansion, and many of the fabric patterns are reminiscent of traditional wallpaper and fabric patterns. Damask, ornate floral prints, and wrought iron gates make you feel like you're in a spooky but sophisticated estate when you're crafting with this collection. Fleur-de-lis stickers and a page mentioning the French Quarter give the distinct impression that "Chillingsworth Manor" is in old New Orleans, which lends an extra air of opulence to the designs.

If you're trying to make your Halloween scrapbook creepy--not cutesy--Chillingsworth Manor has all the patterns and prints you need to create eerie and elegant pages.
