Halloween?

We don't celebrate Halloween here in Australia.  Well, not really.  Over the past few years stores and supermarkets have stocked all sorts of Halloween goodies during October, but I find it's all a bit of commercial overload.  More than anything it's just a theme for parties or events, but not something that's really 'observed'.   However... I think it's really interesting to blog-hop at this time of the year and see how "big" Halloween is elsewhere in the world, particularly in the US.  I've seen some amazing cards, layouts and decorations, and gleaned lots of  inspiration which I will file away for another time.

I had fun making a treat box this week:



# Design Dollies ~ Elements challenge ~ stripes
I used Rose Moka 'PiqueNique' patterned paper
# Create4Fun ~ Week 43 ~ frybox template
# Papertake Weekly ~ Spots 'n' Stripes

And even though I don't "do" Halloween, I LOVE the colour schemes with lots of green/black/orange/purple.



# The Cuttlebug Spot ~ Challenge #54 ~ 'Boo'
I used the Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' embossing folder, Bazzill cardstock, Basic Grey 'Eerie' patterned paper.

 
I want to say a HUGE thank you to Aud for your amazing blog-candy gift, which included the Basic Grey 'Eerie' 6x6 paper pad I used for this card.



You are so very generous and I'm looking forward to using more of your lovely goodies. Thank you :)
