Halloween Pumpkin Pet Holder...



Halloween is a popular challenge subject at the moment. This pumpkin cage fits the bill for the challenge at http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/.


Inside lurks a scary spider and there will be tons of sweets as soon as I can get to the shops. The idea came from http://cuttlebugchallenge.blogspot.com/ where they are having a 'Cuttlebug Camp' this weekend. Many very talented designers are presenting tutorials on using the cuttlebug. Loads of fantastic ideas so do go and have a look.

As well as the spider I had a go at developing the idea and came up with ...



A snowflake table decoration or gift holder.

For those who are following the instructions on the camp carefully - hmmmmmmm I know I should have had 9 strips but my computer was being used by the Guild Wars fanatics (daughter and boyfriend) and I had to make the pumpkin and snowflake from memory.

Just doing a bit of blog hopping on my favourite blogs and had to stop off to say WOW!
You must be on a roll at the moment Ann, so many gorgeous creations! Please send me some of your inspiration as I'm struggling at the moment.

I love how this turned out Ann, it's very pretty and there's not a set amount of strips to use or size as far as that goes, they're fun to experiment with.
