..TaYLoReD ExPrEsSioNs BLasT from the PaSt HoP...

It's time for this month's BLaST from the PasT HoP featuring older TaYLoreD ExPrEsSioNs stamps...

The theme was  TriCK or SwEeT 

...and there was an AwEsOmE sketch by Sankari...it had A LOT of little pieces...it was definitely ChaLLenGinG for me!

I'm adding the HoPPers list here because there are hop-rule breaking photos at the end of this post and you might not be scrolling down there :)

I would HaTe for you to miss out on anything that the TaLentEd CrafTers made for this fun BLaSt from the PaST HoP...

I decided if I was going to do that much work, I wanted it to be a little more than a card...so I used one of the AmAZinG boxes from TE...

and made this...

 I used the LiMe TwiSt pad from MME...not exactly traditional HaLLoWeEn colors...but I LOVE that paper!!

I heat embossed the AmAzing spider web from the SpOokY ExPreSsioNs set on a piece of vellum, then I flipped it over and stamped the spider from FriGhT NigHt FaVoRs on top...

I used more white embossing powder to make the cauldron and bubbles...I couldn't get the sweet little froggie in the image to work out for me, so I swapped him out with a cool toad ceramic button that I've had forever...

I LoVe the ~what's brewing?~ sentiment with the witch cauldron...so funny!!  

Here's a side view so that you can see how the box turned out with all those cute  LiMe TwiSt papers on it...You just can't go wrong with PoLKa DoTs and StRiPes!! :)

okay...here's where things get a little questionable...

If you are a law-abiding, letter of the law following, true blue..BLAST FROM THE PAST Hopper...stop now!!!  Consider that my ENTIRE project and move on....

  ***SERIOUSLY....If YOu GO AnY FARtHeR...***

 We ARE LEaViNG the PAST and ENTERING the PREsEnT...

OkaY...If you'Re SUrE...ScRoLL DowN...    :)

Now, only the DanGeRouS...LiviN on the Edge...ReBeL CraFteRs are left right???  LOL!!!!!!  So, technically, this is an inset, so the box remain true to the past...

I used MoKa TaBiTha and the spell from FangTasTIc which are contraband as far as the BLaSt from the PaST are concerned...but I knew they were perfect for this!!!!

I ordered the test tubes last year to use as treats in my son's class, but they were too small to even hold skittles or M&Ms...they worked out great here though! :)

I created the inset for the tubes, punched some holes, and filled it with unpopped popcorn to make everything stand upright for pictures...being the CuB ScoUt PopCoRn Kernel and having a garage full of popcorn came in mighty handy! :)

Here's a better view of the inside of the box...

and here is the inset slid into the box...

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy seeing what all the other amazing hoppers made!

Have a woNdeRFuL Wednesday!!
