Halloween Village Combining Villiage, Bungalow, and Manor Tim Holtz Dies, Moss, Popsicle Sticks, and lots of Embellishments

Every building has 1-5 battery powered tea lights - I combined several of Tim Holtz' Village dies (including Vintage Village, Village Bungalow, Village Brownstone, Village Manor, Village Rooftops, Village Bell Tower) to create my own version of a haunted village.  Also used his Cobblestone, Gothic Gate, On the Fence), and Sizzix Where Women Cook Box House Die.

Used 4 Vintage Village houses, 2 Manor toppers and the Manor door, 2 of the Bungalow windows to make a fun "big" scary manor, The little mailbox actually opens to reveal a tiny envelope.  Inside the envelope .. yep, a letter to the witch.  Tim Holtz Idea-ology Pumpkin Pieces & Boneyard Bones, some moss and mushrooms from my stash and I made a resin molded cat, skull and "brick" fence piece.  The "siding" is broken up popsicle sticks.

Every HAUNTED village needs a Witch Apothecary where the citizens can get their potions and herbs.  Combined 2 Manor doors, a Bungalow window and 2 Brownstone houses.  A resin skull face wearing a great plastic Top Hat welcomes you in after you've looked at all the herbs (bones & snake) drying in the yard.

 Tim Holtz' Gothic Gate and Boneyard Bones welcomes you to the city cemetary

I made some resin skulls and tombstones that are guarded over by a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Salvaged Doll

 What village doesn't have an eatery?? A glamour witch owns the Witch's Kitchen (obviously she's glamorous, who else would have a purple glitter roof).  She kept true to her parking rules ... if you aren't a witch, you will be "Toad"

A manor house with bone steps

A pumpkin patch is patrolled by a black kitty with green eyes ... white spotted red mushrooms popped up around the mail box, around the fence .. even one on the roof.  A black bird overlooks the pumpkins, probably hoping for a mouse to run between the vines.

 of course there's a tiny envelope in the mailbox (and it does open to reveal a little message on a letter to the witch that lives in the house).  A chopstick left over from a noodle restaurant makes for a great mailbox post.

 Gray cardstock cut with Tim Holtz' COBBLESTONE die made for a fantastic walkway.

The fence-topped Manor roofs are NOT attached.  That way I can just pick them up to turn the battery operated tea lights inside each manor topper off and on.

Thanks for looking. :)
