Fall Celebrations Blog Hop - Link Up Party!

Welcome to our FALL CELEBRATIONS BLOG HOP. The design team is thinking outside the box this fall to bring you some new crafty inspiration. Whether you are celebrating a fall birthday or anniversary - birth of a new baby or a Halloween celebration...and let's not forget those of us in the US celebrating our Thanksgiving...there are plenty of ways to celebrate in the fall. Please hop along with us as we show you ways to celebrate those special fall occasions.
If you arrived here from Patti's blog then you are in the right spot. If you'd like to start at the beginning, please start at www.paperpiecingsbynikki.blogspot.com. In case you get lost along the way, here is our complete lineup.
I love Fall, it is one of my most favorite seasons.  As Halloween gets closer, I like to make luminaries to line the walk way to the front door.  Where I live now, we don't get any little trick or treaters :( - but I can still enjoy luminaries on my table.
 
The luminary base came from the Silhouette Studio, in the software I was able to take an image from Nikki's  "Beary Scary" file and cut a hole in his belly for the tea light to shine through.  The smaller luminary, I used Nikki's "print and cut" feature and cut the shape of the Frankenstein bear and then placed two colored ones on each side.  Nikki's files are so versatile with all the different file types, the possibilities are truly endless.
 
Here is a picture of them lit up with battery tea lights.
I placed a little sheet of vellum behind the openings.  I love how they came out and you can do this with any of Nikki's files - like I said, the possibilities are endless.  Hope I inspired you to think outside the box.
 
I am offering BLOG CANDY!!  All you have to do is go to www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com and tell me what your favorite file is.  You can win a Martha Stewart's CIRCLE CUTTER.
