August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  The stamp set featured this month is S1108 Wicked!  This month we have over 60 wonderful consultants participating and showing off their creations!  This hop is a super exciting one - not only is it a new stamp for a new month, but also the first one from a brand spankin' new Idea Book!!  I used a bunch of new product on my project and I am sure you'll see a lot more from others as well!

If you have come from Brae's Blog then you are on the right track!

This month's stamp set is all about Halloween.  I wanted to challenge myself to use it in a non-Halloween way and I was thinking Harry Potter but I didn't get that far before getting hung up on Halloween.  My creation is a little treat pocket using the new Decor Journaling Spots.  I tried to use as many of the different images as possible and I also used our new Pin Clips as well as a couple shapes from the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge - awesome!!   Don't mind the lack of decent candy, it was all I had and I promise to fill it with better before Halloween!

I took the black tag holder apart and turned it inside out to the solid black side where I decided to stamp the hexagon pattern to create my own background.  Hopefully you can see it in the photo below.

 I had so much fun working with all things new!
