WCC09 Watercooler Halloween Wagon

Yeppers, it's time for Watercooler Challenge WCC09!

There are so many Holiday projects to share, but we are

sticking with Halloween for this challenge!

I was inspired a while back, by little Circus Animal Train

Boxes by Susan Campfield.

The concept certainly lends itself to holiday treat boxes
or table decorations.

The box itself is 4 1/4 by 2 1/2 inches, scored at

1 1/8 and 3 1/8 on the long side, and 1/2 inch on each side in the portrait orientation. The sides of the box were made with the

Chalk Talk set (p 11) and corresponding framelits (p 230).

Fall Fest with it's coordinating framelits (p 46 in

the Holiday Mini) add a festive Halloween accent to

the little wagon. The Good Greetings sentiment is perfect for the little banner (hostess special set).

This box is a perfect size for a Ferrero Rocher chocolate,

or a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. You could also add

name tags for a table decoration.

I hope that you enjoyed my Halloween project.

Watercooler Challenge artist contributions!

This project has also been entered on the

September Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop

Don't you just love the Wacky Watercooler Hop?!

Kath's hop projects were wonderful. If you missed
her blog, click to go back.

This month, we are creating projects for

Fall, including Halloween or Thanksgiving.

My first project is a Fall Banner.
I love the ease with which banner components can be
created with the Party Pennants Die (p 232). These
pennants can be used for cards, banners or gift tags.
The other thing that I am having a ball with is the
Wondrous Wreath set with coordinating Framelits
(p 9 of the Holiday Mini). These wreaths
can be used for almost any season or event, by simply
changing the color combinations.

I used the Little Letters Framelits (p 228) to create

the "FALL" letters, which fit perfectly within the wreaths.

The Fall Fest set (p 46 of the Holiday Mini), with coordinating
framelits enabled a scattering of leaves that accented the wreaths.
Woodgrain texture was added to the banners, as well as sentiments
from the Good Greetings (Hostess special offer) set.
This is really a pretty simple project, once you organize the "bits".

My second project is just a simple, elegant way to wish friends
a Happy Thanksgiving!
I paired an old favorite, Lovely As A Tree with
Work of Art to create a fall watercolor impression.
The sentiment comes from Teeny Tiny Wishes (p 18).

I hope that you have enjoyed my projects.
Now hop on over to Terri's blog to see her wonderful creations!
