Post a Comment On: Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Ideas and Tips

Hello, Friends!

September has arrived, and with it comes cool sunny days, crisp, juicy apples, brightly colored leaves, kids going back to school...all things we love about fall!  And then there's everyone's favorite fall festival: Halloween! Crafty Secrets is ushering in the holiday with a Too Cute to Spook Halloween Linky Challenge and Blog Hop where everyone who plays along receives a free digital image/paper and one lucky participant will be randomly selected to win a $25 shopping spree for any digital products found in the Crafty Secrets online store!  Like our New Digital Halloween 4 Page Scraps on Special for $2.75!

Our design team has been busy brewing up some Too Cute to Spook Halloween projects for our Blog Hop.  This hop is loaded Halloween treats (no tricks!), fantastic tutorials and handy tips.  I have a sneak peek of each project to share with you and the link to each designer's blog where you can get all the ghoulish details.

When you are done hopping, dig deep into your own Crafty Secrets stash and create your own Too Cute to Spook project, then link it up at the bottom of this post.  You will have until midnight PT on Sunday, September 20th to add your project.  The design team will be stopping by to pay you a little visit, so have some treats handy!

Now, on with the Blog Hop!

If you plan to play along with us this month, we have some fun treats for you to download. 
(These images are for personal use ONLY.  They may not be sold or distributed in any other way.  They are intended only for those who participate in this month's Linky Challenge but it's not mandatory that participants use them. ) Both have been reduced in size as they are big files.
This month we have a super cute 'Pumpkin Swinger' and some Halloween Paper for Linky Participants!  This fun pumpkin and the paper are from  Halloween Jumbo Digital Download for a $14.00 special or if you prefer you can get the CD #4 Creating With Vintage Halloween for $15.50.  Both include the same designs with 44 great vintage printable Halloween designer papers and a combo of over 100 images and graphics with bingo cards, postcards, digi stamps like lace and die cut frames you can layer or print and use. Plus there are 12 fun templates with treat boxes, wine glass shades, games, party favors and a Dolly Dingle Paper Doll with Halloween outfits and accessories!

[Image] To download the pumpkin and paper, simply right click on the image, then save the image to your computer.  You can size these bigger or smaller to suit your taste.
