Halloween Hat box

Wishing all my Canadian Peeps a Happy Thanksgiving!
 
If you're new to my blog Welcome!  I am so excited to be a Guest Designer over at Craft Hoarders Anonymous!  I wanted to share with you a Halloween project I made last Fall, Halloween Hat Box.  Why so long to post?  Well I really wanted to try being published.  So, I waited and submitted my entry to Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine and I was accepted.  This project is in the current Fall issue!
My inspiration came from the $1 Store where I found the round box (reminding me of a hat box), the skull (which was a pirate) and the wee hat!
 
 
I ripped the straw hair off and added a little black soot distress ink to the skull.
 
There was a bloody skeletal hand here.  I replaced it with some ghoulish accents.
 
I needed something for the head.  So I attached an ornate frame. 
 
A 31 is always a good thing.
 
My favorite part of the whole project.  The Thinker!
 
I stacked an assortment of pumpkins for him to sit and ponder.
 
I cracked his bones and reposed him into the famous sculpture.
 
I used paper stash Laboratorie to wrap this pink box.  Adding a variety of Tim Holtz Sizzix dies.
 
I filled this little jar with poison then mounted it in a corked dome.  Adding little ants and skulls helps create to haunt.
 
The Thinker is broken and reattached with hot glue.  I love positioning my guys!
 
My first time being published, Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine.
 
WOOHOO!

    I was thrilled to have you as a guest this month at Craft Hoarders because I knew you'd share something "off the hook"! I am still giggling over the thinker skeleton! That is genius! You are hoot. And congrats on the pub!!! It is always a pleasure to see your work. I miss out Fall blog hop thingie with Pam...because you always do great things for that as well. Maybe next year.... Hugs. And Happy Thanksgiving!!
