Enter if You Dare! Creations by AR Blog Hop



Welcome to Creations by AR August Blog Hop! 

We are showing off TWO new templates for this blog hop and I can't wait to show you what I have made, so let's get on with it!!!

you can see the inside lid is finished off nicely too!

I used My Mind's Eye Blackbird Argyle and Costumes(polka dots) Paper along with a few Silhouette cut bats and spooky tree to decorate my McBarn. The little Trick or Treaters are cut from the MME Costumes DP as well!



Today's blog hop features these two new August  release templates-


and coming up below



Now, Isn't this McBarn just sooooo fun???  I knew right away that I wanted to make a Haunted McBarn when I saw this template. Paired with some great My Minds Eye Halloween papers, this was a breeze to make! I really had to stop myself for having ghosts peeking out of the doors with little  spider webs and spiders...this template is so very easy to decorate!  I plan on adding these little Mummy Pretzels in a cellophane bag to stick inside the box....


And here my fast and easy McBarn Card-Enter If You Dare...............
!

This is the side view-you can see the 3D front panel. It will all fold flat for mailing too!
Enter If You Dare!


I hope you can take a few minutes to hop along with us today. Although I am the last in line, you really should start with Adela's blog!

ONE random winner will win their choice of one of the new templates-all you have to do is leave a comment here. (or for more chances, stop by all the blogs and leave some love)
