Hello crafty friends ~
I've been sitting on these Tim Holtz costume boxes for way too long. These came out a few years ago and I just loved the vintage / retro graphics. He had a line of Christmas boxes as well, which I've used in the past, and I still have some. What can I say.... I just love everything vintage!
Anywho... This image from Crafty Secrets (also ages old) was sitting in my stash and I thought, how perfectly they go together. The pumpkins are from Pretty Little Studio. I just adore their line of vintage die cuts.
If you peek into the box, you'll see I used some wild polka dotted paper to line the box with and I added some cheese cloth behind the trio of trick-or-treaters.k This adds a layer of texture and softness.
I remember having so much fun coming up with our own ideas for creating costumes for Halloween. Very rarely did our costumes come in a box. They came from our imagination. Those were the days.
I think I'll add this project to the following challenges:

OH WOW ... how awesome! I too love vintage but don't do as much of it as I don't find it sells well at my show {sad face} but I sure love seeing what you've done here! I recognize that image (I used to be on the Crafty Secrets DT and have TONS of her stuff still hanging around here). Geesh ... that was a long time ago!! lol
Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Neglected Stuff & Sisterhood of Crafters challenges! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
