Calico Spooktacular

Hello all!  I've really got my spook on at the moment... so much so that I'm offering a bonus Calico Craft Parts post this week.  I'm actually due to share something there on Monday, but after all the Halloween Hot Picks I found myself still in a spooky mood.

 And if you need Halloween inspiration I can't think of a better place to visit than the Calico Craft Parts Halloween department.  There's such a variety of designs from haunted houses to spooky shrines to ghouls, ghosts and witches - enough weird and wonderful stuff to keep even the most avid Halloween fiend happy!


I've been playing with just a few of them as well as the Tim Holtz Regions Beyond paper stash, and having an absolute ball - really just pure fun.  Hop over to the Calico Craft Parts blog and check it out... IF YOU DARE!  But watch out - he's behind you!  Mwaah hah hah hah haaaah!

From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!
Scottish prayer

Oh, and one last chance to get your name in the hat to win a free ticket to the Crafting at Ally Pally show.  Visit my Ally Pally Alert post and leave a comment there saying you'd like to be in the draw - I'll be picking the winners tomorrow (Sunday).

    i was just over there and left you a book! teehee
    Truly Alison, this shrine is amazing and the way you create is amazing- I just love love love! Everything about this,especially your trompe l'oeil- you are so clever!! Now I am wondering if you help design the sets for the shows that you work with- if not, they need to consult you!
    huge hugs xo

    Such a fun shrine for Halloween (I happened to see some halloween ornaments in TK Maxx today and they were so naff!). I love the font of the spooky words.
