Hello Everyone! Today I have some Spook-tacular Sizzix projects to share with you. I’ll be introducing more new members to the Inspiration Team, a special guest designer and announcing the winner and top 3 of last months “Fall Back” challenge. Grab a seat and get comfy you’re in for a heaping dose of creative “Tricks and Treats!”
First I would like to welcome the oh-so-talented Anne Redfern to the Inspiration Team! Anne has been wowing us with her sculptural Artist Trading Block designs as a member of Team ATB and I couldn’t be happier that she has now come aboard the Inspiration Team! In her true sculptural style Anne is here to amaze you with this incredible ATB Haunted House!
Talk about Sizzix prowess, man can our girl Anne work those dies! You won’t want to miss a single spooky detail on this super spooky house so stop by Anne’s Blog…if you DARE!
Next, we have Donna Budzynski with her creative paper clay take on the classic Jack-in-the-box. Behold, the Halloween Cat-in-the-Box! I just love how Donna has combined Sizzix Artist Trading Blocks with clay sculpting! How about that black cat eh? He sure is the “cat’s meow”!
Stop by Donna’s Blog to learn more about how she created this Halloween Cat-in-the-box ATB tower.
We also have a very special guest designer…Team ATB member Claudine Criner! Claudine used the stove from my soon-to-be-released Vintage Kitchen collection in such a unique way…a spooky Halloween Treat Box! I just love the detail on the decorative top and the sneak peek of those sweet treats through the stove window!
Head on over to Claudine’s Blog for more details on this Spooky Halloween Treat Box.
Now, without further adieu let’s get to some equally “spook-tacular” entries in last months “Fall Back” challenge…

congrats to the winners!!
Thank you so much for your kind words Eileen but if you had not designed the fabulous blocks I would not have anything to ‘build’ with!!
Donna’s cat in a box is so inventive and Claudine’s oven/box is a super idea for trick or treating.
Huge congratulations to Pair of Petals for her fabulous wreath and to my lovely friend Carole for her fantastic witch house, Sara’s hat is amazing and Bonnie’s block is beautiful. Anne xx
