TE Blast from the Past Blog Hop!

I'm excited to be part of Taylored Expressions' Blast from the Past Blog Hop.  This month's theme is Trick or Sweet.  I've had my projects finished for a couple weeks now and am excited to finally be able to share them!  Enjoy!

The sketch design is by Sankari Wegman, one of the members of TE's Baker's Dozen Design Team.  I had a great halloween paper pad with very unusual choices in it as well as some Scrabble tiles from a themed game one of my kids never played with.  So ... together they created a very halloween-y card!



During one of my frequent trips to Michael's, I found this set of little jars - perfect for "thinking of you" type gifts.  So ... here is what I came up with ...


... Eat at Your Own Risk ... yes, a little creepy!  I couldn't resist using the "drippy" punch to go along with the gorey eyes.  Finding small "eyeballs" was the biggest challenge as not too many would fit in the jar otherwise!  (These are actually bubblegum rather than the chocolate ones.)




... Witch's Pot ... aren't these candy corns unusual?!  Since they seemed "girly" to me, I had to create a witch-themed jar.  The bubbles are glazed although they don't show up too well and the hat ... well ... it just had to have feathers on it!




... and lastly ... some Spooky Treats ...




Enjoy the hop!
