Halloween Rosette Wreath ~ DT project

So I saw a beautiful paper creation on a facebook post and thought to myself "Oh I need one of those in a Halloween theme for my in home Halloween Decor... so this is what I came up with

Started making the rosettes (aren't they so pretty?!!)

Applied them to a cardboard ring that I cut and covered with cardstock (otherwise you may see the naked cardboard through some spaces that do not get totally covered) Looks pretty as is!

Then I applied my Halloween Cupcake topper files ~ from DesignsonCloud9.com ~to the large rosettes ... I added some punches from a Blog candy win from last year, some "skittles", a few buttos and a ribbon to hang it & WHALA a fun Halloween decoration!

Linked project up at Decorate to Celebrate! Challenge: Halloween Party

Check it out and play along too!

Thanks for visiting!

All my projects were created using My Memories Suite v2 Software.

First I wanted to mention that I created my blog header with the software & a quick page layout! Pretty cool huh? Your own personal style added to your blog!

Now I created 5 digital layouts all from scratch (a blank page). The paper pieced looking elements such as the witch boots, bears & robot are all .png files from Designsoncloud9.com (great paper piecing patterns which include .pngs and digi stamps) of which I am a proud Design Team member for!

Here is my very first digital layout... not to bad right?!

Festival of Lights

Now aren't these the cutest little bears celebrating Hannuka...
I was thinking the other day that there really aren't any Jewish Holiday paper piecing pattern sets out there, so I suggested it to Michelle (the owner of Designs on Cloud 9) and these are just a few of the pieces out of the set that she came up with. Adorable! no?!!
This layout is up for auction on Ebay
