I Love this time of year!

Hey y'all!! It's finally cooled off here in my neck of woods, yay! Tired of those HIGH electric bills and of SWEAT, haha! But Fall/Autumn is my most favorite time of the year....love the colors, the holidays coming up...AND Halloween! I love decorating for Halloween! I decided to make one of those configuration boxes by Tim Holtz...and I can tell ya, it was so much fun to make! Im going to do a Christmas one too! Not only fun putting together, but in gathering the stuff for it too, loved doing that even. Here are some pic of my box:

I used so much stuff on this, lol! First I painted the whole thing, except the cover, in black acrylic paint. I used Echo Park's designer paper line called Haunted all through it, inside and the outside of the cover. I then used some of the Tim Holtz tape on the edges and then slapped on some of his crackle paint in Peeled Paint color. Also distressed the edges with sandpaper and inks. I also used some free images that I found online to make the little trick or treat bags and the bottle cap lids. I used Gina K Design stamps also, Perfect Pennants and Wicked stamp sets. I used some Tim Holtz stamps too, the ticket ones. I made the headstone, RIP one, out of air dry clay and painted it. Lots of miniatures throughout. And even used some STICKERS! (shocked I know!) Miniature bottles and game pieces and mini door knocker were purchased from Sky Blue Pink, what a fun store for stuff like that, and good prices too! Here are some close-ups:

This is a close up of the upper left corner...the little door knocker I think is so neat!

This is one of the skeletons playing the violin. There are 3 total in this, two in the main box and one on top of a smaller piece which you will see in just a second.

This shows all 3 pieces. I will set this up with the two small ones on each side of the bigger box.

Close up of the smaller boxes. The one with the stamped tree silhouette has one of those flickering battery operated lights in it. I cut a hole in the back of this piece so you could turn it off and on and replace if needed.

The hole in the back which you cannot see when its facing front and the little flickering light on.

I had a close up of one of the section, the one I call my tribute to Harry Potter, but for some reason, blogger wont upload it...and I have no clue why! Its even smaller than some of the other pics I have uploaded...same .jpg and everything....who knows..you get what you pay for, lol!

Ok, hope you enjoyed seeing as much as I enjoyed doing this box! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderfully creative day!
