New Matchbox Book! New Halloween Markdowns! New Miniatures!

Filed under Art Projects, Bella Ayers, Giveaways, Halloween, Miniatures, Newsletters, Sale

Frightening Fun House by Design Team Coordinator Miz Bella (Kimberly Ayers)

Ooh! A new Little Houses Matchbox Book with cute art! This new matchbox book set is similar to the Mini Conservatory Accordion Book but this set has the same iconic house shape for each panel AND this set comes with a matchbox!

And how cute is Bella’s artwork! Love, love, love the mix of die-cuts from the Vintage Halloween Collector’s Essential Kit with collage sheet images (and lots of polka dots from the Vintage Halloween 2×2 Number Squares Scrapbook Paper)!

I spy:
– One of the windows from the half scale Decorative Windows Set (painted black as a window on the front cover of the accordion book — and the witch behind the window is from the How Sweet the Moon Collage Sheet)
– A bat from the Black Creepy Critters Shape Set
– That little girl holding a giant mask (far left of the bottom row) is from the Halloween #1 Collage Sheet
– On the 2nd to last panel (on same bottom row) is a paper doll with costumes from the Mini Halloween Costumes Collage Sheet
Crepe Ribbon – Orange – 3/4 Inch (tying the book closed when inside the matchbox)

See more photos in Bella’s blog post. And be sure to come back to enter today’s Giveaway to win lots of goodies from Bella’s supply list (plus a few extras picked out by me)!
