Welcome to DAY ONE of the "Trick or Treat" Halloween Blog Hop!!

We're so happy you could join us for this super-fun hop showcasing cards, layouts and projects that feature everything fun about Halloween!!  You'll find an array of ideas throughout the hop -- From decorations to gift ideas and more, we hope you'll enjoy each and every project along the way!! This is a TWO-DAY hop, so be sure to catch both days for maximum ideas (you'll find the entire line-up below my post)!!

We can guarantee LOTS of treats on this hop (and maybe a few TRICKS too)... So let's get hopping!!  If you've just popped in to visit my blog or are reading this via email and you'd like to join our Trick-or-Treat FUN, then please CLICK HERE to start at the beginning with Lynda's blog because...  It's always a TREAT to start at the start!! :)

For my project today, I decided to create a card with a little twist...

I attached my rosette to the card as a PIN!!  So the recipient will be able to remove the pin and wear it for the Halloween season...

This is a standard A2-sized card (5.5" x 4.25").  For the background, I cut a piece of black cardstock (5.5" x 4.25") and topped it with a piece of bright white cardstock (5.25" x 4") embossed with the Sizzix Damask embossing folder...

I used the Martha Steward border punch (drippy goo) on my apple green cardstock before adhering a ruffle of orange 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon (if you missed the Ribbons & Buttons Blog Hop you should really check it out -- there's still a few days to WIN some of that amazing crinkle ribbon!!), and wrapping it with black twine...

My rosette pin started off as a strip (1"x12") of decorative cobweb paper scored and fan-folded every 1/4"...  After adhering the ends together and hot-gluing the center, I added a circle (stamped with the "Best Witches" sentiment found on the "Fall-O-Ween" Stamp Art Set by K Andrew Designs) surrounded by more of that awesome orange 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon, and topped with some of my little flower embellishments...

To finish everything off, I used my Gelly Roll clear Stardust pen to outline the edges of the rosette and card, accent the drippy goo drips, and add a little sparkle to the stamped image...  I'd love to read your feedback or answer any questions about my card, so please leave me a comment if you have a moment to do so...
