The Sisterhood of Crafters - Fall/Hallowe'en - Oct 23

Hi folks,

It's Wednesday and you know what that means - I'm sharing my final creation as a Step Sister for The Sisterhood of Crafters! It has been such a treat to be creating along with the rest of the sisters these last two months. Thanks so VERY much to Darlene for asking me to play along with The Sisterhood.

Until November 3rd we would love to see you link up your Fall/Hallowe'en creations. That's right - just be sure to use your favourite Fall or Hallowe'en colours/designs on your project and join right in!

Since Hallowe'en is just around the corner, I decided to make a colourful CAS card for my sweetie to go with HIS Hallowe'en treats (yes, he IS just a big kid).

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, black card stock base
• patterned papers: Recollection "Hallowe'en" mat stack
• sentiment: Verve "Boo To You"
• Spellbinders: Petite Circles
• layout: Mojo Monday 309

additional challenges for this card:

• Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes
• Sister Act Card Challenge #29: Anything Goes
• Shopping Our Stash #124: Hallowe'en (or Orange/Black)

Anni-Verve-sary ABC challenge

Hi folks,

back with the 5th and final challenge for the Anni-Verve-sary challenges from Verve Stamps.

hmmmm...what to make? what to make? I thought of doing a tag. I thought of doing a bookmark. I thought of doing a gift box. And then I spied my only Hallowe'en set of Verve stamps! And so I made this (or should I say, altered this)

A little gift tin for Hallowe'en treats! Of course, since there aren't any Hallowe'en candy in the stores yet I just filled it with orange tissue paper so you could see what it would look like if it WAS filled.

project details:

• clear gift tin from Wal-Mart
• patterned papers: Recollections Midnight Magic
• stamps: Verve "Boo To You" - I paper pieced the darling little pumpkin so that the lines on the tag I used would not be visible (if I coloured it with my Copics). The sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. (the stamp set is 10% off during the August Anniversary sale)

additional challenges for this project:

• Lollipop crafts #87: Anything goes

Thanks for stopping by - and I hope I'm not causing any panic about Hallowe'en coming soon with my little project!
