 The non-traditional Halloween colors found in the Monster Mash Collection make it easy to transition into projects for Fall or Thanksgiving.

I love that there are plain pumpkins within the collection that also allows you to create fun things for Fall!  Adding texture, such as burlap twine and felt ric-rac, helps to lend that cozy fall-ish fell.

Supplies:Monster Mash: Enchantments 12x12 Paper; Tricks & Treats 12x12 Paper;Haunted Forest 12x12 Paper; Magic Words 5 x 12 Sticker Stacker and Chipboard Treats 5 x 12 Chipboard Sticker

I love this color combination and the best part is that the papers included in the new Monster Mash collection have a lot of them in them! I decided to create a little basket to hold an apple. I thought these would make a nice favor to have at each person's place at Thanksgiving. 

The apples I put in the photo are actually from a recent apple-picking adventure. (That little one is the only one the rugrat would pick!)

Supplies: Patterned Paper: Monster Mash collection (Imaginisce); Sticker: Boo-ti-ful Friends Sticker Stacker (Imaginisce); Digital Cut File: Basket (Silhouette)

To use all the colors from the challenge, I found a bunch of "B" sides of Imaginisce patterned papers that went along with the color scheme. In order to get each color represented I wanted to use a strip of each. I then decided to build a layer "cake" by stacking layers of varying sizes and rounding the upper corners. A die cut, stacked journaling sticker and fabric sticker and some May Arts ribbon were the "Icing" on the cake!

Supplies: Imaginisce patterned papers, Hello Cupcake Die Cut, stacked journaling sticker and Fabric sticker, May Arts trim

When I saw the color and photo prompt, it felt very fall-like to me in a non-traditional way. I love pears for fall. They often get pushed to the side by the apple, but I love using pears for an unexpected twist on fall. This card would be a perfect fall smile for a friend.

SUPPLIES: Imaginisce Happy Harvest pattern paper, card stock, white gel pen, Cameo and silhouette store die cut (pear)

The colors were perfect for a fall layout, and matched very well with the "Monster Mash" line. My son absolutely adored the pumpkin patch and hayrides last year, so I wanted to scrap that memory. Luckily, the Monster Mash line is full of pumkins and fall colors, so it's perfect for these types of layouts.
