Kich N Bleus Challenge #8 "Anything Harvest or Thanksgiving"

Hi Everyone!

It is time for another monthly challenge at Kich N Bleus Designs. This month's challenge is "Anything Harvest or Thanksgiving". As usual there is a freebie available on the website for you to use for the challenge if you wish. Be sure and stop by and see all the wonderful creations by the other designers.

The Harvest Mini Collection is available for purchase in the Kich N Bleus Designs Store.

For my project I decided to do a 6x6 box for putting Pumpkin Bars in to give to others. When I think of this time of year I think of Pumpkin Bars. For some reason I will not make them any other time of the year. I just feel weird making them in months other than October and November :) So I better get busy baking or I am going to miss my time window :) I also saw on a blog recently that they made Pumpkin Cake Pops, so I totally want to try to make those this month as well :) Which could also fit well in this box :)

For my project I used the Martha Stewart Scoreboard to make the box, it is 6x6 and is 3 inches high. I used 1 sheet of 12x12 paper to make the top and 1 sheet of 12x12 paper to make the bottom. I also got to use my recently purchased Sizzix Tim Holtz Mini Rosettes die. I love this die set. It makes two different sizes. I first made one of these when I went to the Scrapbook Expo in July. They had these for a make and take at one of the booths and we made the rosette and attached a pin to the back so it could be worn. I have made rosettes since then but did so using the scoreboard...the die is SO MUCH easier... :) I used the smaller rosette for the little ones and put together two of the bigger size for the rosette under the Kich N Bleus digi. I used Tim Holtz Black Soot distress ink for the edges of the sentiment, rosettes and box. That booth also had the distress ink pads to use for the make and take as well so that was my first time using the distress inks as well. I am not usually into "Vintage" but now love the distress inks and other Tim Holtz products!
