Welcome to the September PALS HOP! This month, we're featuring Fall/Halloween themed projects for your inspiration!

I made two projects for this Hop.  The first one is geared towards Halloween.  It is a little candy box that I filled with chocolates.  I found the pattern, designed by Beate Johns, on the Scor-pal website. 

Stamps: Wicked Cool, Pocket Silhouettes

Paper:  Concord Crush, White

Ink:  Black

Accessories:  oval punch, ribbon, scor-pal, scor-tape, craft stick, black marker

• The craft stick was colored with a black marker and the Spooky label was glued to it.
• To make the ribbon stay in place, scor-tap was added to the back.
• Filled with kisses to give to someone who least expects it ... that's spooky!

My second project, a card, was made with Thanksgiving in mind.  I really like how this turned out.  Was it the sentiment, colors, layout or pumpkins?  I'm not sure but it is one of my favorites. 

Stamps:  Seasonal Sentiments

Paper:  Always Artichoke, Cajun Craze, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, White

Ink:  Early Expresso, Always Artichoke

Accessories:  Nestabilities circle and scallop dies, texture embossing folder, oval punches, bird punch, brads

• The pumpkins were made by punching ovals out of Pumpkin Pie cardstock, sponging the edges and the gluing them together.
• The leaves were punched from the bird punch.  I know pumpkins grow on vines but I liked the look of the leaves.  I was being creative ... {smile}
