Anything Goes at the Papertake Weekly Challenge


Hello again everyone, I hope your day is going okay

As promised, I'm back with my second post of the day.
(to see my Passion for Promarkers card please scroll down to the previous post)

Today is the start of a new Papertake Weekly Challenge, which I am still really enjoying being a Guest Designer for.
This week the theme is

Anything Goes
with the option to make a Halloween Treat Holder
Our sponsor this week is the wonderful Lili of The Valley
Prize is a £10 voucher 


Now, I must confess, I know it may sound strange, but I am not really too keen on Halloween. I think it may go back to being scared as a child. So Halloween designs are definitely not my strong point.

Anyway, I had a go at making a basic treat holder. I used a free image from Birdie Brown that you can find here and layered up the cute pumpkins. I was surprised to see that the black lace I had lurking in the bottom of my ribbon box has a spider like pattern on it, how lucky!





Items Used: 
Digi Stamp - Freebie from Bridie Brown coloured with Promarkers
Paper - Doodlebug designs 
Lace from stash


If you pop along to the  Papertake Weekly Challenge blog you will be able to see the amazing creations made by the design team.

I would like to enter my treat holder into the following fabulous challenges:

Created with Love - Halloween
Corrosive Challenge - Cute and Creepy!
Craft-Dee BowZ - Anything Goes with a handmade bow
Bearly Mine - Halloween


Thank you for taking the time to stop and look at my blog again today, I really do appreciate it and I love to read any comments you may wish to make
I'll be back later with my final DT card of the day.
Bye for now
hugs
