Think Fall!

It's the 6th of the month so that means that us Limelight Chickies have a project to share!

Our 'theme' is Fall and/or Halloween.
The nights are cooling down a bit and Fall seems to be in the air.

Here are some fun ways to deliver some treats to a friend!


First up is this box...it is actually the Ghirardelli® Box but I plan to use it for tea bags! ...I'm thinking a Pumpkin Spice or Chai is perfect for Fall.

I used this cute Tea Hee Cup stamp by TaDa.
The paper is from the Basic Grey Ambrosia 6x6 pad ~ perfect Fall colors!
And the ribbon is the Brown/Ivory Fuzzy Dot Ribbon.

Next up is the ever popular Sour Cream Container.

This is another gorgeous sheet from the Basic Grey Ambrosia 6x6 pad.

M&Ms are one of my favorites...and they look yummy as seen in this cute Acetate Box.

And of course this beautiful paper is also from the Basic Grey Ambrosia 6x6 pad.

Finally is a 4x4 gift card to go along with the goodies.

More paper from the Basic Grey Ambrosia 6x6 pad and the same ribbon as above.
