Halloween is quickly approaching, so it is time for some Halloween fun!
Our tablescaping group has been busy pulling out the stops for a scary good time with our blog hop!
Much thanks to Rita from Panoply for pulling us all together and organizing our hops! All of the links to the participating table stylist's blogs are listed at the bottom of my post. Please give them some love as these tables take a lot of time and effort to put together for you to enjoy.

I am all set for a gathering of witches to stir up some Halloween hijinks!
The little standing witch's brooms are from At Home. I am sure they are probably popular with the Harry Potter crowd - but I thought they were just the thing to go with my tablecloth.
This big witch hat with the books centerpiece was from At Home as well. I added some of my home made potion bottles to hold some necessary ingredients for a good elixir.
Now it is on to see what our other tablescapers have concocted for their Halloween tables!!
Don't forget your broom on the way out the door!
Fall is not only the celebration of a wonderful nature display in Ohio, but it is the season of Ohio's favorite sport - Football!!
I am participating in our Welcome Fall Tablescape Blog Hop today!

Welcome to the Corner of Plaid and Paisley where I am participating in the OSAT Blog hop.
The theme this month is Here We Go- Vacation, back to school, new home . . .
I made this card with my husband in mind since we are going on a cruise soon to celebrate our 40th anniversary! I used a combination of several stamp sets to make this card. It includes the wonderful sun and waves image from the Circle Sayings stamp set, the pelican from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set, and the Adventure compass image from the He's All That stamp set.
I love mixing and matching pieces from different stamp sets that make sense together to make something a little different. Since one of the challenges of these hops is that everything we use has to be current, I had to be creative with dies as well. I used the All That Dies, The Waves Dies and believe it or not - the Crafting with You Dies for the stitched circle. Now I realize that it can be quite expensive to purchase all of these dies - but what I have found is that I can usually find a die that will work in some other set that I already have. So I mix and match as much as I can to get even more use out of the sets I do own.
The base is Balmy Blue and the stripe DSP is from the Let's Go Fishing DSP pack. I took a piece of Pebbled Path and ran it through the Timber 3D embossing folder and then used my Blending Brush and White Craft Stampin' Ink to give the background a kind of wood weathered look.

I used the Taylor Made Tags Dies for my bookmark and used the same technique for the top layer of the bookmark. A plain ribbon tie didn't seem right for this more masculine design so I took the Balmy Blue and White Double stitched ribbon and deconstructed it. I tore off the blue ribbon down the middle by snipping the clear thread and then cut the white piece down the middle and frayed it some. I also added two strands of Grey Granite Baker's Twine to give it a little more volume.
Let's see what the other card makers have created!!

Welcome to Corner of Plaid and Paisley where I have made some projects for the One Stamp at a Time Blog Hop with the Paper Florist Dies.
The theme of this month's OSAT blog hop is Mix It Up - Pattern mixing & layers.
I included some different textures, a bit of plaid and lots of florals for my card and gift box.
I have used the color pallet of Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, Berry Burst and Wild Wheat.
Hi, I am Ann, a self proclaimed dish hoarder. I have a penchant for anything plaid, polka dot, or paisley. I love mixing patterns and colors. This has evolved into paper projects as well. I created this page as a way to share my inspiration and ideas with others! I have a wonderful supportive family; a great husband, three kids, and two grandsons. We are very active with our church and volunteering with various groups . My husband and I bought a fixer upper on a small lake several years ago and are having fun updating it. We enjoy the water and golfing together. Thanks for stopping by :)
