I went a little crazy for this hop, so I have several projects for you.  Here's the first:

 

 This is a little sign I made.  I love this little bear from the fall bear file, and the leaves just make this!  The sentiment is from the September "stamp of the month' from Close To My Heart.  I'm sticking this little sign in the corner of the front door.  A touch of fall!

Next, I used the new Cricut Close to My Heart "Artiste" cartridge, to create this little purse treat box.  I'm going to fill it with treats and hand it out at Halloween.  After cutting the box in the dark pumpkin color - I added some halloween paper and the adorable candy corn piecing from Nikki's Fall Characters file.

 Here's a side view of the little purse treat box.

 Another cut on the "Artiste" cartridge is perfect for halloween.  It's a little coffin box.  I decorated it with another of Nikki's Fall Character pieces - the bat.  I added a bit of scrap paper and ribbon and will fill this one up with treats to give away too.

Here's a look at the inside of the box:

 For my last project, I used Nikki's cute little bear turkey's to make some place cards for the Thanksgiving table.  There will be one for everyone - to take home and use on their Thanksgiving scrapbook page!  The decoration that keeps giving.
