Fall Thrills and Halloween Chills Blog Hop!

Welcome to the

Fall Thrills and Halloween Chills Blog Hop!

This hop is all about the beauty of Fall and the haunting spookiness of Halloween all wrapped up in one. So grab a cup of hot cocoa and enjoy the thrills and chills along the way.

There are six stops and you won't want to miss any of them!

There is also a complete line-up at the end of this post just in case you need it.

And what would a hop be without
Blog Candy!!!

Each blog has a bit of Candy that needs to be won.

And Here's How:

Be sure to be a FOLLOWER and COMMENT on each blog!!!

If you are a FOLLOWER, your comment could be randomly drawn to win some fantastic prizes!

Read each blog post carefully to see what is being offered at each stop along the way!

Here is my project:

This hauntingly, frightful mage is from Treasure Box Designs' Trouble's Brewing Collection. Doesn't he just spook the socks off of you! Or maybe he just blows you over with all his cuteness!!!

He is on an A2 sized card base. The background paper is from Mambi Sheets Halloween stack from Me and My Big Ideas. I used two sentiments from Punkin' Patch Stamps' Trick or Treat set. They are the Beware and Carpe Noctem sentiments. For my mage, I used some scraps I had from Graphic 45's Jolly Jack-O-Lantern sheet of paper. I love this paper and I only have one sheet left. If you happen to have any of this in your stash, I will welcome the donation. Ok, just kidding - ah, no in fact I would take the donation. LOL! Like I said, I love this paper. The pattern can be used for so many fun projects!!! For his staff, I wanted the crystal ball to shine like the moon. To give it this effect, I cut the shape in a pale yellow and then used Memento Inks to add the color. I used Dandelion, Canteloupe, and Potter's Clay.

And now for the Blog Candy!!!

Halloween Night!

It is Day 8 of 31 Days of October!!!
I'm back today with a card using a title file from

Treasure Box Designs!

But titles aren't always for scrapbook pages. I used mine to make this awesome card!!!

The Halloween Night title can be found in the Titles section at Treasure Box Designs.

The card base measures 5 1/2 x 3 3/8". The background paper is from a Halloween stack called Mambi Sheets by Me and My Big Ideas. I used a lot of black ink on the edges to give it a nice vignette effect. The title is attached to the card base using pop dots. For the moon, I used a very light sheet of yellow cardstock and then used three colors of Memento Ink - Dandelion, Cantaloupe, and Potter's Clay - to give it a nice full moon effect.

Dying to Send a Treat to School!

The boys took treat boxes this morning to hand out to friends at school today. Since this is our 1st year in our new school, I'm not sure how well it will go over. Only one note was sent home from a teacher mentioning a class party, but there was no mention of the teacher needing help. This is a new experience for me. We spent four years in a school were parents were encouraged to be in the class room all the time, especially on holidays having big class parties. But true to my desire to do something special for them and their classmates whenever I can, I decided to send some Tombstone boxes. I made 55 boxes and have parts lying around that could be used to make a few more.

 The tombstone box is part of the Gimme Candy Boxes Kit from SVG Cuts. I used AC cardstock, BasicGrey DP, and Me and My Big Ideas Halloween Mambi Sheets to complete my project as well as a few miscellaneous papers from my stash. Again I used Memento Ink to ink my edges. On the teacher's version I added pearls. On the inside I stuffed Kraft Paper Crinkle (from Michaels) around Kit Kats and Rolos candies. The teacher's version was made at about 90% the original file size and the boxes for the kids were downsized to 60%.

I will submit this to the following challenges:
