Halloween Florals...Sweet Sunday Sketch #191 + Cas on Sunday #15: Floral Fantasy

Throughout the week, I've been having some 'brainiac' moments (hard to believe, but they creep up unexpectedly at times, to my delight!) about creating a special October calendar for my niece, to highlight fall, my brother's birthday (the big 4-0 this year!), Thanksgiving and, of course, Halloween.  My plan is to start designing bit by bit, next week, and I'll be sure to share phases and stages as I go along.  For now, think 'advent calendar' style...which also reminds me that I have TWO of those to make this year!  Excited!! Last year's was a hit with my little Miss Niece, so hopefully, I'll be able to accomplish the same with a secnd version for her, and a new one for Mr. Nephew.  If you're interested, I'd be delighted to share photos of the 'old' model I want to improve on...

Anyway, the Halloween sparks and spits of ideas sent me off to rummage in my collection, to see what I had before embarking on (yet another) shopping spree. Okay, who am I kidding - the spree will happen regardless!  To my delight, I found a few remnants of one of my favourite papers from last year:  EP Chillingsworth Manor.  Love that paper! I got carried away...uh huh, carried right away...with Halloween-themed tags, banners, all kinds of things, because a) Halloween stuff is so darn cute and b) I was, and still am, in wide-eyed wonder at how fun making 'little things' can be!  I had enough to make a card, went on a scouting mission and discovered two challenges that caught my interest: Sweet Sunday Sketch #191

and CAS On Sunday #15: Floral Fantasy.  Unfortunately - or maybe that should read 'fortunately' - I missed that challenge's deadline.  One thing's for certain:  my florals, as you'll see, are certainly 'fantasy'!!

Here it is, my quirky, 'very, very scary' Halloween Floral Fantasy, with NBUS:  three green sequins (the orange on the label is a sparkly embellie)! I've made a step!!

I need to find more Chillingsworth paper, ASAP!!  It's just..well, Halloween-y delightful...
